A wee bit of bitching and complaining

Well, I finally realized what the deal breaker is here in Bulgaria and why I likely wont stay another year. Dont get me wrong, there are many reasons to stay and many why I wont, but putting aside the fact that I want to be in the UK with S, or that its hard to make friends here, or that the houses are cold and damp and and and... I get paid squat here! I make 35% of my salary in Korea after taxes, yet work twice the hours and when you really look at it, anything worth having is the same price here as most other places.

Take for example the 2 things I really wanted to purchase by the end of the year; a Mac mini, and the cradle speaker set for my iPod. Both these things are manufactured abroad and imported at full prices, therefore totally out of my price range. Yet people drive Audis, BMW and Mercedes here. How do they do it? Why am I not able to do it? Not that I want any of those cars- actually I want a Volvo, but a scooter will do. I cant even afford a scooter. Its nuts really. Just nuts, and I am starting to resent this.
