Spent another couple weeks in Sofia a couple months ago. And.. I parked my car there so I have to go back and get it, probably in January I'll be back.
Jack: currently 0. Though I still sometimes talk about "my car" as, even though it was stolen by corrupt Serbians several years ago, I still think of it as spiritually my car. I drove a '99 Dodge Viper RT/10 for over 13 years all over the world. I've only ever owned 4 cars in my life, and the other 3 were all before I turned 23.
I got 13, which is hilarious because I seem to barely get enough questions right to get the badge credits. I officially have 99/198 quizzes done for this badge, and I'm done with every other badge. Halfway there!
Nice quiz. I only stumbled on the last two but got them after thinking for a second. At first I thought you were looking for an English name for rakia and was racking my brain to figure it out. It turned out much easier than that. :) And I'm very happy to see the LB question here. It's time people learn, that yogurt is not originally Greek.
Yeah, I don't think it's s good question. The hint is misleading - according to WP Rakia is a type of fruit brandy. I would say varieties of alcohol are not drinks like brandy, beer, wine, etc but more like ethanol, methanol, etc
I tried vodka first and then alcohol. I'm not an alcohol fan at all personally but some varieties of rakia I had in Sofia I guess were okay. I also liked the rakia-flavored turkish delight that I got at the airport in Cyprus.
I tried spelling that in so many ways, I thought I was going crazy, especially after living in Bulgaria for two years. Wikipedia lists "Thrace" as an alternate spelling of "Thracia", so...
Beautiful day here, but a little sad. I just bid farewell to our two yearling bulls who are headed to other farms where all the "ladies" aren't related to them. I know I shouldn't get attached to them but it's hard not to. Other than that, typical day - canned some tomatoes, got a haircut, pulled weeds in the flower beds, ate a mess of greens from the garden - a fine, autumn day.
Nice quiz. I'd love to visit Bulgaria someday. I've long been interested in the country, but especially since reading The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova last year.
I totally allow this questions, except the one for the Cyrillic alphabet, because the man that wrote was Macedonian, and he wrote it in Macedonia, not Bulgaria. So if possible correct that question.
How well did you score?
I'll have to try that Turkish delight, though!
Hopefully, when the C-thing clears out, we'll all be able to travel.
I've got to check this Shadow Land thing you read.
He's Bulgarian, and when he wrote it Macedonia didn't even exist :)
Burgas is fantastic, too.
