This is my new friend "F".  I practiced speaking English with her.  She and her husband moved from Istanbul, Turkey to work in Bulgaria.  He is an engineer at a power plant that they are building in Bulgaria.  She spoke no Bulgarian and a little English when they moved there.  She has a 4 year old son and about 1 year ago, she opened up a craft store in Bulgaria.  Now, she speaks English, Bulgarian and is studying German.  I was super impressed that she had started her own business in a foreign country and learned the language well enough to communicate with customers.  We met twice and had delightful conversations!
