Well, I see NOTHING lame about this -- it's an amazing example of the way modern communications technology works: Carolyn writes, people read, and debate occurs.

We back in the States read her blog one way; Bulgarians read it another way because of our point of reference.  For me, it's a reminder of my own year in a Eastern European country, a chance to learn new things about Sofia &amp; Bulgarian -- a place I visited briefly and loved, but still know little about -- and a chance to follow my best friend and travel companion.  :-) But for a Bulgarian, who knows the places and problems C. describes better than anyone else, the same tale of buying shampoo or trying to dance is obviously going to conjure different feelings and reaction. That's why I love reading the comments almost as much as the blog itself: I'm always interested to try to analyze my own perspective through seeing the way other people "read" C.'s life

Now, the television station is coming to open up the experience of C. for a whole other group, who will surely view it in different way than either the English-speaking, Internet connected Bulgarian or her American friends. It's another chance for different backgrounds and perspectives to collide. And for all the problems of modern media, I think that's one of the best benefits of it.

Now, can I get this series online ?? :-)
