I just got back today from another weekend in Burgas. It was a fairly uneventful, but last night I had a really good time. It started off like most nights I spend in Burgas, getting a quick bite to eat and then heading out to my favorite pub for a pint and a few games of pool. After a couple hours of watching my skill at billiards steadily decline, we quit playing and met up with some other expats living Burgas that I had never seen before. They were pretty cool, and the five of us ended up sitting around a table for the longest time deeply engaged in a debate about international politics and the state of the economy.
It was really interesting because all of us were from different countries and had different points of view. There was me, the American, and a guy from England, Ireland, Holland and Bulgaria. I think it's experiences like this that I love most about traveling abroad, getting to meet new people and have respectful debates with them. It's enlightening to hear how much we all have in common, as well as gaining insight on different perspectives about issues.

It's easy to have a respectful debate -- when the furrners know that America is always right.
You told them that, right?
