Haven't updated my blog since Greece whoops! Everything's been so busy so I haven't had time! I only have about 15 minutes right now, but I'll try to explain Bulgaria (where I was about a week ago)
First day - wandered around and saw some monuments and the cathedral. After eating a pita with cheese for lunch, we made our way down to the SeaPark which is basically just a park near the ocean and we went to the aquarium inside the park. We had alot of aquarium enthusiasts in our group so the aquarium was a bit of a let down - it was remarkably similar to the fish section in Walmart, not many fish and some descriptions were either a really bad attempt at sarcasm or just horribly inaccurate. That night we hung out on the beach and the surrounding nightlife with other SASers.
Second day - went to an orphanage and a school for children with physical disabilities, mental disabilities and behavioral disorders. It was really touchign an intersting. We got to learn about the different laws that have come into place regarding children's safety, the attitudes towards children with disorders and disabilities and then ways the two different organizatiosn worked. We also got to play with the children at the orphanage - SO CUTE. And we got to explore a random bunker from the soviet war that just happened to be in the backyard of the school. hahah. Then, we tried to get sushi. This restraunt experience rivals the one with TGIFridays with my family a few years ago. The sushi didnt come til 2 and a half hours after we ordered it and only half of it came...It tasted excellent tho! That night we did the same thing as last night, just hung out around the beach area.
Third day - so really really really early in the morning I got a phone call from one of my friends asking me to come help because she kept throwing up. Ended up having to take her to the health clinic. It was so bad she was just convulsing adn shaking uncontrollably and couldnt even keep down water. They had to give her a shot for food poisoning...(potentially that cursed sushi place!!) Anywho she's better now, but since than about 1/2 the boat got food poisoning from Bulgaria. Either that or its the noravirus (which if it is, I pray to God i'm immune)
Welp! Gotta go out for a traditional dinner in Istanbul - I'll write more later!
