I went to the Balkanski circus, second best only to Cirque du Soleil. I felt like I travelled back in time when I stepped inside the colorful circus tent. Vibrant stands built into the trailers featured classic treats like popcorn and cotton candy. Ironically, a stand sold "American Style Donuts" and were nothing like I have had in America. I guess anything deep fried is given the name American to fit the stereotype. Haha.

Today, I went to a traditional Bulgarian restaurant. The menu included items like Braised Veal Tripe and Eggs Panagurski style (picture7) all for around five US dollars. Eggs Panagurski is poached eggs topped with yogurt, dill, and feta (Bulgarians top everything with feta, including french fries). The yogurt adds a sour element deriving from the unique Bulgarian milk culture, l bulgaricus, while the cheese and dill add subtle salty, fresh flavors.
