Christmas and New Year

Hello everyone. The week started with Christmas. I spend the day with my cousin. We were searching for a present for her. On Tuesday I and my family joined the other part of the family. We had great fun and a lot of food.

On Wednesday was my name day. My sister helped me with the preparations. I gather my best friends. We celebrated with a lot of Bulgarian brandy, food and we went to a discotheque.


The rest of the days I spent travelling around, relaxing and preparing for the New Year.
On Sunday I made Bulgarian cheese pastry with fortune slips. This is the tradition in Bulgaria at twelve o'clock the so-called  "banitsa" is breaking up. Everyone gets their fortune slip for the new year.


I prepared also the salads. One of them was cabbage with carrots.

The other salad was green lettuce, spinach, radishes and spring onion. All the ingredients were homegrown in the garden, without any chemicals.


The third salad was boiled potatoes with red and spring onions.


I would like to wish to everyone the New Year to be better than the old one. Happy celebration.
Thank you for reading my blog and see you the next year.

Hello, everyone. My week started perfectly. Together with my colleagues, we celebrated the eight of December (student fest in Bulgaria). We had a great party in one house in the countryside around Varna. The village is called Asparuhovo.

 The house was on the coast of the Tsonevo lake. The view of the sunset was amazing from the garden of the house.


Everyone took a part in the organizing the party.  We all gather together and had an amazing dinner thanks to the girls, who were shopping and thanks to the guys, who made the barbecue.


On Tuesday we had a lecture about information technologies. I learned new function in excel.
On Wednesday I got stomach various. For this reason, I spent my Thursday in the bed.
On Friday we got a very important presentation in English classes. My presentation topic was traditional dishes in the Taiwanese cuisine. It was a pleasure to read about their national dish beef noodles. There is even an international beef noodle held in Taiwan every year.
My Saturday and Sunday I spent with my colleague Poli. We were writing the assignment about human resource management. It was challenging to find the information we need.
Thank you for reading my blog and see you next week.

Beers

Hello everyone. This week passed very fast. On Monday I was out of Varna. I had a great and peaceful time around the Rodopi mountains.
On Tuesday I was travelling back to Varna. Unfortunately, there was a big traffic on the highway, because of a reparation on the road. Therefore I missed one of my lectures
On Wednesday I was already at the university, ready for new adventures. In the evening we had our human resources lectures. It was very interesting and the time flew away.
On Thursday we had classes with our chef. We were designing a menu for a beer company. We had to create three different menus with a different price range. Therefore we had to try and evaluate the beers. It was a new experience for me, I hadn't made a beer tasting before. I learned a lot about the colours, smell, taste.


On Friday it was a student's day for Bulgaria. I spend the day in writing articles for the wine. The evening I celebrated with my colleagues.
On Saturday I finished the articles.
Thank you for reading my blog and see you next week.

Hello everyone. My week started with preparation for the presentation for the introduction to tourism and hospitality.
Tuesday I ate lunch at the Culinary Arts Institute restaurant. Every week from Tuesday until Thursday there is lunch, which is prepared from the 3rd year students. The menu was simple but delicious. For the main course, there were mini pizzas with ricotta cheese and cherry tomatoes.

For dessert, it was served apple rose, that was made from puff pastry dough and apples, sugar, cinnamon. The smell of cinnamon reminded me of the coming holiday and especially for Christmas.
 The beverage was basil soup. It was very refreshing.


On Wednesday I was helping to one of my colleagues with an organization of one event. We spend the whole day at the university.
On Thursday was the presentation for the introduction to tourism. I spend the day to improve my speech. At 18:00 I and the girls from the team went to present and everything was great. We didn't have a problem with presenting.
On Friday I was helping with cutting wine labels. The labels were for the special edition wine, that was given as a present of the Saturday event "Bulgarian wine and cheese".
Thank you for reading my blog, see you next week.
