Quote from "A la bulgaro":" So long time has passed since those days, and since that story, which is still vivid in my memory, and even more vivid than all the rest.

Then I go back to the north part which is furnished in my style, with many colored Bulgarian carpets and blankets (special kind of Bulgarian blankets with long fur), I make my coffee in a cooper coffee - pot, which has been brought from there, and my thoughts wonder to those absurd memories of mine.. Very often some friends ask me - what is that unusual memories of yours? I can't explain to them, better say I don't want to, and I always avoid the answer by saying - a la Bulgaro - in a Bulgarian way.." Oh, yes, yes".. . Alexandar Tomov
