Art Hostel

When i was a child, i used to watch " Fraggle rock ". Overall i remenber the music, but also the surprise of the colours and the movement and the stories. I remenber the character of " uncle something " who sent postcards with adventures from all around the world and the people sharing stories, that idea of a group that it's at the same time part of the scenery and something that moves, coming and going.
Well, Art Hostel - we use to spend our time in the garden, in Sofia, it's my Fraggle rock. Like most of the good things in life i discovered it by coincidence. Bulgaria was " a hole in the world " in the words of a friend from czech and i never thought about it. But i met a girl from the internet there and she simply rocked so much. I was lost in my life and didn't know what to do so... why not trying ? Life can always surprise us. I looked for a cheap place in hostelworld and was enchanted. Appeared like good-mood place, not too posh so exactly opposite. The kind of place where you can listen reggae while speaking about music, art other life. I liked it.

It has been three times there. The bulgarian girl is history, as all the things that drove me to Bulgaria in the first time. Instead i have learn a lot about life, about happyness, about how to take decitions and selfsteen. Like Fraggle rock, Art Hostel is a place where you meet interesting people and learn about spirituality, prejudice, environment, personal identity and social conflict ( it's not mine, i copied it from wikipedia-fraggle rock ). Also is a place where you discover new music, new paintings, new cinema, new art. But it's not the art that tries to break out and hit the world and become rich and famous, not. It's the kind of art that ask permision to sit beside you, then askes " where are you from, man ? " and, while drinking a beer, begin talking and sharing and living. It's art in the garden.

About me ? I keep wandering. And wondering. Life is so easy when you take a book with you, a smile in the backpack and a lot of pictures in your heart. And a lot of friends and interesting people with you. This last time when i came into the hostel i met Boris. I am not so sure who is him in the family of the place, but he said me something that it impressed me. " This place is not for everyone ". That's true. I think it's exactly what happens with me. I am not for everyone. But as the hostel, i feel like i am opened to the world. You can try. Maybe you like other maybe not but... well, it's a magical place. So why not taking a look on it ? A place where gathers people from the city and from the world can't be bad at all, can it ?
