The lights just went out! for only 60 seconds.
Flashback! to unexpected electricity cuts in 2009 Ankara -- you don't know how long it's going to take to go back on.
You worry about using the refrigerator, computer; you miss the radio; you light a candle in the bathroom. And you calculate the cost of walking down those 12 flights of stairs.
It was easier back in 1994 Sofia; the electricity cuts were planned, rolling across the city. Although it's really too difficult to read by candlelight. And the kids hated going to bed in the darker dark.
Can't say any different in 2009 Boulder.

A cross-cultural life style can be exciting, or poky, or a speed racing existence. But throw it into sudden reverse -- and then talk about culture shock! Join me as I explore ideas, intuitions, likes and dislikes about my experiences in returning "home," wherever "home" may be.
