Wow, that post is so unbelievably true! Ever since I moved to Germany I have been going through more or less the same....Everything takes so much more time and I have to double (even triple) check everything just to make sure I understood it right. I haven't been able to put it into words but now that I read this post, it is exactly what I've been going through...
And to make matters worse people here are way too nice to what I was used to in Sofia and more talkative to...well strangers like me....and so I just walk around with my headphones (sometimes even when I'm not listening to music) hoping noone will talk to me :D  
Btw. those photos made me wanna eat some chocolate...not fair...(now i realized I miss Bulgarian chocolate like Своге) ^^
