People search many funny things to reach my blog. Here are a few of my recent favorites:
<ol>
	<li><strong>bulgarian boza producers association</strong>--Um, what? I have no connection to the Bulgarian Boza Producers Association.  Actually, I don't even really like the drink.  I try it every now and then thinking... maybe this time...  I mean there was also a time in my life I didn't like green vegetables and that's changed so why not the boza thing?! Anyhow, do we actually have an association for boza producers in Bulgaria? If so, here's to you!</li>
	<li><strong>sofia communist statues</strong>--We've got those. Check. I've talked about them once or twice on my blog. Because, I get a kick out of them.</li>
	<li><strong>trams tattoos</strong>--Pretty clearly this wouldn't be a cute or sexy tattoo but it would be interesting.  Then it made me think: which tram line in Sofia would you get?</li>
	<li><strong>meeting her family hug or handshake</strong>.  Exciting. Meeting the parents for the first time.  I haven't written a post about this but it is a good question.  It's not like you really know her family the first time you meet but you've probably heard about them and this meeting is kind of a big deal. You don't want to mess it up.  So, now what? Do you hug them or shake their hands? If it were me I'd take my lead from the parents.</li>
	<li><strong>bulgarian karaoke</strong>.  Awesome.  I've actually written a post on this.  The summary of this post: karaoke in Sofia is great. It's tons of fun to listen to Bulgarians sing American karaoke songs as well as a few Bulgarian songs which are usually thrown into the mix.</li>
	<li><strong>pectopaht</strong>. Uh, oh. <!--more-->This one is restaurant in Bulgarian--kind of. It's actually Ресторант. I am guessing that the person who googled this and arrived at my blog was disappointed. Sorry.</li>
	<li><strong>what is better than a hug</strong>--Well, I think in most cases a hug is a good thing.  I guess it just depends what you're looking for in order to determine what if anything is better than a hug.  Because depending what you're looking for there are a lot of things that are better than a hug.  Lemon Aid on a hot day. A phone call from a friend. Cozy socks.  Flowers. A kiss. Really, the sky is the limit on this one.</li>
	<li><strong>ibuprofen tea</strong>--What? This sounds horrible. I'd be happy to drink tea. Or to take ibuprofen.   But all at once? All at the same time? Gross. This sounds like bad plan to me. I'd skip this one and for the record I wouldn't recommend this cocktail.</li>
	<li><strong>counting in bulgarian</strong>--I know how to do this!</li>
	<li><strong>shantel, coolest accordion player?</strong> Yes. Shantel and his group have great energy so much so that their enthusiasm is contagious. If you ever get a chance to see them play live--take it, buy tickets and get ready to dance, dance, dance. These guys rock.</li>
</ol>
For those of you who googled for the answer to these questions or based on these interests came across my blog--sorry if you didn't find what you were looking for. It turns out that I don't know everything there is to know about Bulgaria.  Go figure.  Also, even if I was desperate for a topic to write about I think it would be a cold, cold day in hell before I wrote about the Bulgarian Boza Producers Association.  But thank-you for your search.  I had an excellent laugh this morning.  I mean a really good laugh because one the thought of this association actually existing really tickled my funny bone--are there really enough boza producers that an association is needed? And two, is there any way they can make this stuff taste better?

So thanks to everyone who googled my blog.  Many of your searches are pretty straightforward and I am glad you found my blog.

Oh and to the 13-15 year old boys who keep searching for: bad words in Bulgarian--I am sorry I don't know any. And even if I did, I don't think I would be posting them on my blog.  Good luck.  Hope you find what you're looking for.
