A Barbecue Encounter
Treatise about a pair of tits

All brittish live in houses with backyards. This is so that when sun appears one day they could have a barbecue there. (yup, the outdoor fireplace is laid in brick and probably was the first part of the house that was ever erected!)
My story is how a particularly endowed girl (a barbecue housemate) popped in to one of these barbecues (my first actually! barbecue, that is). ...

Memories...
Those so precious moments when the Elder speak

... oh, my bigger sister (kaka), your grandmother, was the princess of the Neighbourhood! and your granpa Kolio, he was a very handsome man, he knew very much how to wear himself! How to dress himself. My girlfriends would say - "hey, when we see the man of your kaka, we turn around after he passes, to have a look at him a 2nd time ;-)".
Besides, he was a very good man, very nice and good soul! ...

Next year I will be getting no job. I will be going back to Eastern Europe. I already have more money than I have ever thought possible - I sold 3 years of my youth.
I am going back home in the East, I remember that I too had passions when I was still there. I dont remember what they were anymore, my only dream now is to be with creative people, people that will challenge my senses. I am sure that passions will return then. ...

Stepped down in Barcelona
Impressions post-England

... Streets were again the bottoms of precipices; sky was returned to its rightful place - somewhere far above your head - there was not a building less than 5 floors, most were 6 or 7! At last, eyesight was restricted to directions and saved from insanity. by the lining of the trees, TREES!, by the flow of parallel edges above!...

my Central-European Christmas story
Only a clock-maker and rich merchants on donkeys are missing

... The house of the sword-master was great! All decorated with weapons and armoury! This is why I found it, in fact. The street had no lights to allow me to see any of the houses' numbers or any company signs. But through the lit window of one of the houses I saw a full knight`s armour standing and thought, this must be my place!
There I had tea with wine punsh, and after an hour of chatting he decided to give me the decorated sword for the price of the simpler model! ...He was talking so much even though initially he was afraid of his incapability in english! And mostly about swords. ...

Back home, to the
land of hardship
A train conversation

... In this area, between Maritza [the main river of Thrace] and the sea were living only bulgarians. But later when the Turks come, all the armies marching to war pass through our ends. You know that they reach all the way to Vienna. Marching from Istanbul and the Anadol to Europe they were all passing exactly through that area. They wanted the villagers to feed them. They were seizing the cattle and making troubles to the houses and taking women and stuff. So the bulgarians one by one fled from the land and the villages emptied ...

Back to Sanity

... That universe is one of tons of washing hanging off the balconettes, dark holes of open doors luring the eye, and patchy movements of people crossing inside that you cannot see. Most doors are open but have very long blindsblinds reminding of oriental rugs (черги), thrown over the parapets to let the wind in, yet stop the light. The still air is layered by an undiscernible mixture of cooking smells that probably has ancient origins - the oldest ingredients might have been aging here for hundreds of years undisturbed by wind. ...

Зимата дойде
Мечта за Нотингам

Ех, днеска се събуждам, навънка всичко е бяло, само покривите на къщите под нашата се виждат. Прозореца е отворен защото парното го дава жежко (да бе - като в Студентски град!) и отвън навлиза съвсем омекотена песен на птици и бумтеж на далечен влак. ...

War, crisis and happiness

When he escaped out of her range, restlessly drinking from the water fountain outside, she redirected her outpour to us, without decreasing the decibels: "Ah, let him stay here, let him miss the train to see what he's going to do! I cannot care about this man anymore! He is like a child! Look at him, please! Thinks only of his thirst! Now the train will set off and he will have to run after it! The fool!" ...

Visa for America
Yes, I really did send this letter!

Dear Prof Golubitsky,

[President of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics in USA]

Yesterday I finally got an interview in the embassy in London. However the typo in my poster title ("Turing pattens" which unfortunately I didn't notice when you sent to me the electronic version of the letter :- ( ) was taken unexpectedly seriously by the staff and apparently casted doubt on the
credibility of all my documents. "It raised the question am I a student at all." ...

Сън за махалата, кучета и котки
