I've never been there, but I'm beyond familiar with their culture, especially their food. Here in Bulgaria, we make baklava every Christmas Eve. It's a tradition. We cook sarma on a regular basis... I mean at least twice a month. It's a bit different from the Turkish one, because it has minced pork in it, which makes it even tastier. :) Our national costumes are also similar in style, only more beautiful and less oriental. :)<br /><br />Fantastic post and I love the photos!George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-5177259396825351622012-09-14T20:43:49.022-07:002012-09-14T20:43:49.022-07:00I nearly gave up myself, but I am nothing if not l...I nearly gave up myself, but I am nothing if not loyal and I stayed through the pain til the bitter end. <br /><br />I thought sure a short week would play into Bears advantage, but the Pack did a complete 180.
