First day of school

~ Veselin ~ 3 Comments

There are two true national holidays in Bulgaria when people actually celebrate and you can sense the spirit in the air. 15th of September and 24th of May. 15th of September is the first day of school, and 24th of May is the Bulgarian alphabet and literacy day.

Happy first day of school! I have a 1st grader this year who released one of these balloons, so a double holiday for our family.

Arena Mladost Cinema

I saw a rumor published that Arena Mladost is going to open again. Decided to check if there’s any signs of construction around the cinema.

Unfortunately, it looks as if the Zombie Apocalypse happened a decade ago.

I’d say this building is unlikely to open as a cinema. It’s unfortunate because it was a favorite spot for our family before Covid. It has a nice location and a very promising plot of land. Not sure why nobody bought it yet. It could become a great event center for conferences, trainings and so on. Maybe just not a cinema.

The book fair is over. I didn’t get as many books as I wanted because I already have too many. I need to be mindful about how much space they take and have not recently donated to the library to free up the shelves. I think I still got some pretty nice books.
