Kindness of Neighbors, I Think
Walked outside to buy some bread. 2 minute walk to the shop. Ran into friends Elza and Zlatka. I told them that I heard that Danielle has a black rose in her garden. They said I was correct. She has a black rose. She has maybe 200 roses. Pink ones, white ones, red, purple, champagne and a tall black beauty. After admiring the flowers I walked with Elza to her garden and we picked strawberries and ate them. Then I ran into Nasko and he told me his sister is in town. He had just run out to buy smokes. I ran and bought bread then joined his sister and him at the cafe. After a few hours I came home. There is no light in the stairway leading up to my apartment so I pretend I am walking through a cave every night. Tonight there was a treasure. Someone, I have no idea who, left me a still hot dinner.
I hit the bag with the door as I opened it. There was a bowl full of grape leaves and cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and maybe meat of some sort. They were delicious. There was also baklava, delicious. I feasted! Nothing like stumbling upon a home cooked meal. I'm sorry for Justin Bieber because in an interview he said that fans often send him candy and food but his mom doesn't let him eat it. He has 187 million views on Youtube for that track with Ludacris. Guess you have to protect yourself at 187.
Just a ramble for a second before I do the dishes. With the end of the year national tests taking place, I had to use the computer room, instead of my regular room, to teach English today. I was alone with the 8th graders. It was fun. I let them look at whatever they wanted. One kid played Justin Bieber, 2 Live Crew and Twisted Sister videos. That is amazing. How does a 14 year old boy, living where he lives, know 2 Live Crew and Twisted Sister?
