I get the social freedom point you are making. It's not like I came to Bulgaria and became a different person, it's more like there was no pressure (real or imagined) to act any particular way. That is very freeing, indeed!

P.S. Your post is my very first one that I got to use my new slider to vote! You got the whole whopping 3 cents. :D How exciting!!! Thanks, Hive account@brentssanders, for making that happen!
