Vasil Levski Day
Feb. 18th was Vasil Levski Day. For those of you who don't know, Vasil Levski was a Bulgarian revolutionary, ideologist, strategist, and theoretician of the Bulgarian national revolution and leader of the struggle for liberation from from Ottoman rule (so says Wikipedia.) The 3rd grade class at the school here put on a 20 minute program in honor of Mr. Levski. The program included songs, and poems and was performed for the rest of the school...I was very honored to have been invited :)

Hm, interesting how the local people, being Turkish, handle the heroisation of a guy who actually fought against the Turkish authorities back then...
I thought it was interesting as well, but as much pride as they have in their Turkish roots it's equal to the pride they have in thier Bulgarian....they identify with both, so in that way it makes more sense...
