I really think the best parts of working there are some of the classic broken English shirts that I've seen. Or sometimes, they make perfect grammatical sense, but I struggle to understand what it means:<br /><br />Some favorites (I have not altered these in any way, all of these are real):<br /><br />A picture of a dog, labeled "R is for Dog"<br /><br />3 blocks, labeled "1x, 2, 3" respectively. Below the blocks: "Lost in time, alone on fire" in bright, friendly children's colors.<br /><br />A plain red shirt, with only "CRAB" written across the front.<br /><br />The McDonald's Arches, labeled "Maidon Os." Mickey Mouse is on the back.<br /><br />A black shirt with a patch sewn on the front reading "I dictared the necessary orders for complete" The back contains a 5 line block of random letters.<br /><br />A picture of a truck, painted in a tie dye design reading "Warrior and Peace: Highest Quantity for You!"<br /><br /><br />I'll update the list as I find more...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-5954393120024848651?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12712848251860133348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131422955544985055.post-15475095071840028402009-03-10T12:14:00.000-07:002009-03-10T13:06:57.624-07:00<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIJjrncvyZs">Nelina - "Nyama Nashi, Nyama Vashi"</a><br /><br /><br />This is a folk crossover (that, or a chalga star who switched to folk... you can never really tell). The song isn't that bad for a chalga song. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on in the video. I think a few girls are fighting over a guy. But then there are some guys checking out some girls. A soccer ball gets involved. Then I think everyone dumps each other and they all start a dance party.<br /><br />That smile sure is enchanting though...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-1547509507184002840?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12712848251860133348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131422955544985055.post-78061841985637760092009-03-02T23:53:00.001-08:002009-03-02T23:57:41.568-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljHWXfAfaN8/SaziM2Kq2XI/AAAAAAAAAbw/1YUTbn_9Ppc/s1600-h/100_1968.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ljHWXfAfaN8/SaziM2Kq2XI/AAAAAAAAAbw/1YUTbn_9Ppc/s320/100_1968.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308866771089545586" border="0" /></a>A pattern I've noticed around Bulgaria is an amazing number of cars located impossibly on top of buildings. I started seeing this pattern in PST in Krainitsi, where 2 were located on top of houses, and the pattern continued into my site. I have also spotted this phenomenon in Shumen and in Razgrad...<br /><br />What is going on here?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-7806184198563776009?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12712848251860133348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131422955544985055.post-49562789216061194472009-01-13T10:26:00.000-08:002009-01-13T10:28:58.526-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-lDeuY3ZLW4/SWzdNEGE0aI/AAAAAAAAACQ/uYBXMnn9jO0/s1600-h/P9050023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-lDeuY3ZLW4/SWzdNEGE0aI/AAAAAAAAACQ/uYBXMnn9jO0/s400/P9050023.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290846878760751522" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-4956278921606119447?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katie F.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12112158217300871820noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131422955544985055.post-84796451927366154432009-01-12T10:51:00.000-08:002009-02-18T03:38:56.403-08:00<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJcOnj5eCs">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJcOnj5eCs</a><br /><br />This is pretty much as OIB as it gets people.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Check please...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-8479645192736615443?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12712848251860133348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131422955544985055.post-69786260297079705912009-01-12T07:41:00.000-08:002009-01-12T08:01:42.522-08:00Hey everyone... I thought there needed a place for us Peace Corps folk to share OIBs - you know those moments of hilarity that seem to only happen here... things that happen and leave you shaking your head and speechless, other than a simple "Only in Bulgaria," and then later laughing about it all day.<br /><br />This will be a group blog, and I'll invite whoever wants to join. that way we can all pitch in when one of those moments happen - pictures, stories, whatever you got - and enjoy the magic together...<br /><br />-Greg<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/131422955544985055-6978626029707970591?l=only-in-bulgaria.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>B24shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17744327978017519251noreply@blogger.com1
