Personal insights into a less-explored culture

Just yesterday my friend Harry Markov put up a post that I really love. Some friends of his (I think including me) finally convinced him to do some posts about the culture of his home country, Bulgaria. This is the first one, entitled "Saint Haralampi, Patron of Plague and Beekeepers." For all of you who may be looking for insight into a culture you haven't heard about before, this is great stuff. I highly recommend you go and check it out. I'm so happy that he's started doing this, and I look forward to his posts in the future.

    That was a very worthwhile link. Many of us are busy imagining new approaches even as the old fade or change around us. We may not be able to capture much, but trying to do so seems a mark of respect to all who ever felt strongly.

    Thanks for the link, and for sharing your culture, Harry.

    Juliette, this made me thing you might find something my parents have been doing interesting. They're currently teaching in Macedonia and keeping a blog on their experiences there and when they travel, along with some beautiful pictures. You can see it here: http://demcgaffey.com/sship/ (Umm, this is one of the same parents who loved your story come to think of it :).)
