If you're wondering what Bulgaria has given to the world, wonder no more. The latest news was that the hurricane that's been sweeping Europe for the last few days is named after a Bulgarian - Kyrill Genov! He's living in Germany and some friends decided to make a present for him and bought the right a storm to be named after him. And now the turn has come for his name to be used.
Thank God it wasn't name because of Western Europe's attitude to Bulgaria's accession to the EU. :)
End of the funny part now. Seriously, it's been a hard week for many countries in Europe. While the UK and Germany suffered huge damages and people lost their lives, here in Bulgaria the hurricane is just passing by "quietly" - mild wind and heavy rain. Compared to the 200 kmph winds several thousand kilometres away, this is nothing. I hope this is a big reminder of what expects us if we stop thinking about the present only and forget the long term effects of our activities. Europe is doing something, but the US, India and China...
