I've never been to Eastern Europe but my hairdresser is Bulgarian and has a Masters' Degree in Genetics. My baker is also Bulgarian and speaks perfect Spanish, and when I say perfect, I mean the first time I saw her I didn't realize she was a foreigner.
I have had Russian and Romanian students and this year I have a lovely twenty- year- old who looks like a model and studies fashion design who comes from Ukraine.
What surprises me when talking to these people and others I have met over the years is how high their level of education is in general. I certainly envy them that...
