so you can see them in motion.
the kids horo dancing to kucheck music.
a traditional bulgarian dance to traditionally roma music.
an everyday favorite.

the wig

15 leva at jenski pazar in sofia.
definitely worth it.
although i'm not so sure about the educational value of such an item.
wait, no...it fosters creativity and thinking outside the (gender) box.
so, there ya go.

the museum continues

it's been some time since i last said anything here.
things are going good.
really good actually.
the after school museum program is going really really well and that makes me really really happy.
because it is what i do everyday. i mean i do other things too, but...ok, let me rephrase that. it is my favorite thing that i do everyday.
i tell the kids 3:00, they get there at 2:50 and are waiting for me to unlock the door.
3-7 at the museum.
we play games, dance horo, dance kuchek, make crafts, i even have them doing leadership/team building activities i find on the Internet cause...well, why not. it's something to do.
and maybe it even helps in building teams and making leaders... who knows. can't hurt, right?
we have speed tournaments (the card game), play charades, girls put on mustaches and boys dress up in wigs.
anyway, without further rambling on my part, i'll continue with your very exclusive photo glimpse of a normal day at my museum/youth center in zlataritsa.
