I really appreciate your encouragement. Funny thing is, as I reread my post again and again, I can't help but notice that it's actually a love-letter to Bulgaria, my adoptive родина. I have learned so much here and am really overwhelmed by looking back. Kudos to you for your move, too. It takes a lot of courage, but the rewards are outstanding. I'll do my best to write more posts like this one. Buon Natale!
