I think it's the most beautiful country all over the world :P
It's not only because i'm bulgarian and live here so many years now, but because we have little peace of land, but everything is close to you, wherever you live. You got beaches, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, green meadow and you don't need to travel with airplane to reach the place u wanted to go.
It's not because of the history or geography, i can see some kind of magic here, where we live.
I hope to share some interesting photos for you soon.
My question here is do u love the place you live, do u think you can change it in future? I have been in Romania, but didn't felt so good as here. I know that i take Bulgaria as my home, and Romania as some place i don't know and it's not mine, but
the feeling is different. I was in Romania 2 weeks, and still couldn't take it as place, which is interesting and good for me.
I think i can't leave Bulgaria whatever happens here. And when u read that, you can be sure, that it's not the best place for living, but it's just mine.

I have never been to Bulgaria before but I was reading a article about The Church of the Holy Trinity it is emblematic for Bansko. Its mural paintings, woodcarvings and architectural layout are fully in the spirit of the Bansko School of Art. Some of its most outstanding representatives had worked on the church: masters Velyan Ognev and Dimitur Molerov. In 1850, master builder Grigor Doyuv built a belfry (29.5 m) in the churchyard. Ever since that time the church and the belfry have been a remarkable ensemble, dominating the town skyline. In 1865 a clock mechanism was assembled in the tower (made by Todor Hadzhiradonov). In this way it became one of the very few architectural models of that time, combining the functions of a church belfry and a town clock.
I have a dream to travel the world so you never know one day I might just get to see it in person. It seems that Bulgaria is full of history.

Four years ago I visited beautiful Bulgaria. I flew into Bourgas Airport and then saw places in Bulgaria and Romania by train. I went to the city called Plodiv first and I found it really lovely. Next I went to the city that used to be the capital in the middle ages. I liked the old town's architecture but I didn't care much for the new part of town. The highlight of being there was a sound and light show over the ancient castle. I visited Brasov and Sighisoara in Romania and found each really delightful. On my way back into Bulgaria I went to see Varna which I found pleasant. Finally I visited a seaside village on the Black Sea. From there I took a day trip to a stunning looking undeveloped beach.
When I was in Bulgaria I found the language very challenging to learn. In Romania I liked the language and understood far more. I had some language barriers in Bulgaria for example trying to book a train ticket. I found the maps in the guide books didn't marry up with the local streets. I met a British couple that had moved to Bulgaria. They loved it there but were struggling with the language. Last year I chatted to an English man that is going to move to Bulgaria and he thinks property prices are a bargain.

First thanks for the response :)
And thanks for the good words. I live near to Varna, in one little city, and now i moved to Bourgas. So you've been in the cities i love more than other parts here.
The old capital is Veliko Turnovo, we got old cities with architecture all over Bulgaria, there is an old part of Plovdiv too. And some authentic little cities, which still care about the old traditions and keep it alive.
I'm really happy that u liked your time in my country :)
Cheers, hugs and you are welcome here, whenever u want. :)

Yes, that is the name: Veliko Turnovo. I am glad that you know where I mean. It is lovely that your country cares about keeping tradition alive. It is really interesting that you have lived near Varna and then now you live in Bourgas. Maybe you will be able to have some weekends along the Black Sea in some of the pretty little villages. Sending you hugs and best wishes.

Yes, i'm close to the Black sea now, but the water there is not very clean :) so we are looking for places, where we can have silence and real rest. :)
I think to make website about Bulgaria with photos and short stories about our history and life now. That will help me to know better my country and if someone is interested can understand more too :)
Bulgaria is little country and it's easy to know every place here, if u spend your weekends in traveling :)

Hi
I have not been to Bulgaria and it must really be a very beautiful place because i have heard a lot about its beauty. I have also heard that Bulgarians, esp the women are also quite beautiful. I would surely love to visit that place, but the problem is language - i cant speak Bulgarian.

Hiya Suggar,
Bulgaria I have seen only on the Television here. But I have known a couple of People from that Country and I have got on really well with them.
They live here now and work long hours and their Spanish is really good too.
Some of the Scenery from there is very very nice like you said. The National Geographic Programs have been taken to the Private Paying Channels so I don´t get to see very many Programs of it and that is where I got to see Countries like Bulgaria.
But it was very interesting to watch though.
..i never been to bulgaria...what a woderful country (based on your stories)

I think that leaving Bulgaria,will be a good thing to do,because of your economy,politics and all the corruption that surrounds us.It doesn't matter whether you have friends and relatives in your home country,you should leave it for the best.But if you want to stay in this pathetic country,it's your choice.
