Hahaq, I understand how you feel :) I was in Korea for one month only and when I returned I hardly kept myself from bowing to everybody. I also passed everything using two hands and it really looked a little strange here. And I really missed the friendly shopkeepers and waitresses :)
Doesn't Bulgaria look very poor and ugly to you when you return from the States? At least the first time? That's the case with all my friends who've been abroad and I didn't believe it until I myself went abroad. I was in depression for 2 months after returning here realizing for the first time how poor and dirty we live :) Now I don't feel like this anymore but it really sucked for a while...
