- Sun - The plan was to get up early and go to the Heritage park and then meetup with people in the afternoon...but I am still sick so was running a bit slow.
- Folk Architecture and Life Museum - This is a huge park full of relocated wooden heritage building. I have been to similar places in Ulan Ude in Siberia and Riga in Latvia. It was OK, but not stunning as it was so similar to those 2 places.
- Meeting-up with People - On Friday and Saturday everyone had been busy, Sunday everyone was free at the same time, but in different places
- Meet Richard - I got back to town and I went over to the properous Pecherska to meet Richard he was a mine of information. He taught in Moscow years ago and has been here 8 years, but is not optimistic about the future here.
- Meet Gary for theatre -Then I rushed over to the Sofia Cathedral where another teacher Gary from the BC was with Lyanna a trainnee journalsit from the Post . They were watching a theatre sketch show put on by The Kyiv Players (local English teachers). -I made it over to see the second half of the theatre show. It was OK, it was just amateur sketches put on by local English teachers not bad acting but no great stories.
- Gary is an interesting bloke he was teaching in Moscow a couple of years, but have now been with the British Council for a few years before they sent him here 6 months ago..... Last year he did a trip from where they sent in Damascus through Iraq and Iran to Armenia to Georgia. - Massive storm rain came so we sheltered in a cafe on Andriivsky Street (the winding old street going down from the upper city to old town by the river).
