… sung to the tune of “a holiday in Cambodia” …
So I’ve just finished the last of 4 days here in Sofia, Bulgaria – training up a team of people to work with Brightpearl on customer implementations. I’ve been pretty slack in that I’ve just been spending time between the office, which is 5 minutes away, and the hotel. We’re about 20 mins out of town by cab. 8 hours training during the day plus catching up with the rest of work doesn’t really leave much time for getting around …
First impressions of Bulgaria? Everyone is super polite. In fact that first struck me when getting onto the plane at Gatwick! No jostling, no pushing, just courteous blokes and gals. Nice. The stereotypical eastern-bloc hi-rise apartment building are everywhere, looking a little worse for wear. The roads are in a bit of a state too; but so are California’s.
It’s been nice and hot; last week they say it was up to 35 degrees. Mmmm. As usual, it’s a bit strange staying a hotel for a few days; lots of time on the computer, dining alone (nice food though) – making small talk with the staff. The usual “travelling on business stuff”. I’ve not been to the gym; even though I did bring shorts; my toe is still in a bad way from a kite surf wipe out two weekends ago at the Gower.
Back to UK tomorrow; it’s a mission of a journey; Gatwick isn’t the best place to fly from if you live in Bristol!
