Walking down the broad halls in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where airplanes and shuttles times heavier and bigger than me ominously hang above my head, I reach a fancy metallic object encapsulated in a glass box. An axis embraced by intertwining wheels. Getting a bit edgy as I always do when there is something I do not understand, I activate all of my senses in a frenzied search of a clue, of an explanation. “Gyroscope” the sign reads and I am reminded of a physics class in which I fiddled raptly with a simpler and smaller gyroscope.

January 25, 2008In Florida, I posed for photos next to every palm tree, and indulged my palate in exotic Caribbean cuisine. For my image of a good tourist to be complete, I also needed to buy something Florida-like, something sunny and bouncy. In a random department store, these green-silverish flip-flops with straps that go around the calves caught my eyes. For only 16 bucks, I bought awesome American flip-flops to brag about in front of my Bulgarian friends. Oh, they were made in China! Well, they were still pretty awesome! Or no? When I went back home, everyone wore the same flip-flops!
