I was born in Bulgaria but I've never lived there... It's so nice to hear people say nice things ! I love this documentary

[@Z2daLAT2daINA]

Само гайда и народна музика! Да живей велика България! Българската музика е най-хубава!

I lived in Bulgaria for nine months and it was an unforgettable experience. Bulgarians are my favourite European people. They are very nice, have a good heart, they're kind, helpful, natural, honest, reliable, unpretensious, they love to sing and to gather and mingle with homemade food, like pickles, honey, cheese, jam, bread and wine; they love to cook. It is very easy to join and get along with them, they're very open to new people. Just like their Land, a rough treasure with so much yet to be discovered. I lived in Gabrovo (3 weeks only) and in Sofia; I visited Veliko Tarnovo, the Rila Monastery, Shipka Mountain, Melnik, Blagoevgrad, Belogradchik, Plovdiv, Vidin, Vitosha Mountain, Kasanlek, Bozhentsi, Vratsa, Tryavna.... I also watched ballet and opera shows from the Sofia Opera and Ballet, traditional Bulgarian theatre, folklore dance and singing. The next year I went back and visited Nessebar, Sunny Beach and Varna. In Sofia I visited all museums, historical/archaeological sites, churches and walked around all the time in places like Vitosha Boulevard and Borisova Park, churches and the amazing Cathedral. I bought Icons and ate a lot of salads, like the Shopska salad. I even fell into the Bulgarian mood. Nessebar is a true wonder. *Love*

[@gchaid]

Just returned from Bulgaria. This is a fine film and narrative that gives great history of Bulgaria, its people, culture, art and what Bulgaria has gained and lost over its history. It gave me more understanding of my mother's family history and of my grandparents, whom I never knew. It is all overwhelming, awesome, inspiring and beautiful all at the same time. Thank you for this film and narrative. I am learning.

[@annesilverblade]

Филмът е отличен. Хареса ми много. че наблягат на по-малко известните туристически дестинации. Показват се селата, традициите и тн. За разлика от други документални филми, които съм гледала с фокус върху големите градове / рилски манастир и др. Друг голям плюс е, че филмът съдържа елементи от различни краища на страната. Решението да се сложат субтитри вместо дублаж също е много добро, макар и на моменти речта да се разминава с тях. Американецът, който служи за разказвач има много добра дикция, и гласът му е приятен за слушане. Единствената ми забележка е произношението на някои неща (било градове, имена, традиции и др.) които са фонетично неточни (например когато става въпрос за Кирил и Методий, разказвачът произнася Кирил като Каръл; Велико Търново е Велико Черново и др.). Има и някои неточности в информацията, но не е нещо много съществено. Благодаря много че си качил този филм, хвана ме страшна носталгия сега и нямам търпение да се прибера в България.

[@sk4tingpie]

I don't have enough time considering the need to go to sleep, but what I've seen is I really think it's amazing how they do most everything by hand there, in America we get all these plastic things imported from China and mexico. I would really love to travel to Bulgaria.

The country looks amazing!!

[@XxNeruxLenxX]

Some of us speak. We learn it in school but not everyone knows it. I met a lot of travalers who had a problem with language but found someone to guide/help them =)! I hope that you will like your trip here!! Maybe we will even see each other XD.

[@vforvendetta372]

well done documentary. very interesting

[@krisspaddy]

Just to let Mr. Narrator know.... The 'Rhodope' Mountains is pronounced Road-opee, not roadop. Apart from that - I love it.

Хубав филм, хубав народ, хубава страна! Мислех, че имат и хубав български език, но очевидно и те са англоезични. Иначе, щеше да има субтитри на родния им език.

[@briantravelman]

That's good, they showed the REAL authentic Bulgaria, not some BS tourist stuff!

[@manolmanolov66]

Greatness from Ireland , lovely video

[@gospodinnikoj390]

Tasha, Кирил и Методий са с български произход, независимо от месторождението си !

[@XaverScharwenka]

I'd steer clear from the sea resorts in spite of what k2dc75 advises (unless you don't mind a poisoning because of the too much unlicensed imported or home-made alcohol).. Many places are still under some sort of construction or upgrade works.. You can go to the Aegean in Greece for the beaches and Bulgaria for the inland treasures. Best to travel with car (if from Europe) - this way you can really go up and down the peninsula in no time.

[@RoyalSnowbird]

Some history missing here. . . The Kings of Bulgaria - where are they in this? I am a direct descendant of Princess Anna Maria of Hungary who became Queen pf Bulgaria when she married King Ivan Asen II of Bulgaria - they are my 23rd great-grand-parents. Queen Anna Maria was the sister of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. In this video I also saw icons of St Olga and St Vladimir - no mention was made of them either - they too are ancestors of mine via Anne of Kiev [Anna Yaroslavna], Queen of France

[@freshmaker4o]

You`ve found what you`ve been looking for. Have you visited a single museum for that one year there? I seriously doubt so.

[@VictorStoev4]

It's the Rodopi Mountains.

[@BenzinioB]

Basically in the rural regions is a bit hard to find translator. One of your options is to get one from Sofia or the other big cities, but it would be more expensive. . As advice - try to locate some NGO's from the region you would like to visit - usually the people are friendly and would help.

[@briantravelman]

I agree. I could film a better one though. LOL This one was really good though, it really went deep into the culture and gave us a look at the REAL Bulgaria. I also seen a nature one which was interesting. I think Bulgaria is greatly underrated and doesn't get the attention it deserves. No one ever talks about Bulgaria, and you never see it in travel shows. Only Rick Steves did it once, what's up? I virtually knew nothing about it until I saw this. I never knew it was so interesting! :)

[@ticotorres140]

you're right about that statement and the worst is not over yet; however, this will be a slow process, just like the titanic sinking. By the way, where are you from? you're English sound really good.

[@deliciadawnchannel]

I love the Bulgarian people, I am married to one, but Its going to be hard for Bulgaria to get Tourist to come visit because of the Jock Palfreeman case. No one wants to end of in a Bulgarian prison, for self defense.

[@cryptoron]

How hard is it to hire a guide/translator when visiting some of the rural places?

[@krisspaddy]

Just to let Mr. Narrator know.... The 'Rhodope' Mountains is pronounced Road-opee, not 'Roadop'. Apart from that - I love it.

[@hipsnhaws]

I agree, a beautiful documentary that I want to share with friends as I have a house there and love it, but decidedly dismissive of the Islamic people who live in Bulgaria, after all it is still their home too. Any hint of prejudice towards Turks, Pomaks (not even referred to) or gypsies is not acceptable and taints the overall quality of this production. Bulgaria is the interesting country it is because of its unique history not despite it.

[@Coowallsky]

I never sensed that while watching this.

[@Iphigenia1000]

Waw loved it, GG :) Хора няма да е зле преди да коментирате поне да си направите труда да погледнете някои от предищните коментари (този за спелуването на Родопи го срещнах малко по-често от колкото мисля,че се налага.) Като цяло въпреки някои пропуски и грешки мисля, че е страхотно и трябва да сме благодарни за направата му, защото от всичките филми за България които съм изгледала (а те са доста) това беше може би най-информативното и най-позитивното. Ако се замислите целта на филмът е да предизвика интерес, а не да дава урок по история на когото и да било, особено не на нас които си знаем историята не мислите ли? Разбира се, ако имате някакъв вид обсесивно-компулсивно разстройство и действително не можете да се стърпите пред какъвто и да е вид грешка, бих ви препоръчала да отворите някои вестник, да гледате навините или може би да прочетете някои учебник и да пишете коментари и рецензии по тях, обещавам ви ще имате доста по-вече материал :) Good luck and have fun ^^

[@yordanuzunov9045]

най-комичното е как преводачите са си помислили, че на Бай Христо първото име е Бай и на няколко пъти го споменаха така :D

[@tashahorochenko950]

Loved the film! But I have to make a small correction. Saints Cyril and Methodius (pronounced Kiril and Metodee in Bulgaria) were not Bulgarians. They were born in Thessaloniki (Solun), Greece. They mean so much to us that many people actually believe that Kiril and Metodee were Bulgarians.

[@danieldimitrov4764]

+Tasha Horochenko От там са, но не знам дали си чела или учила, че тези територии са били български над хиляда години,след присвояването им от гърците се гонят Българите и така става гръцки град. Затова и дума да става,че са гърци. Записано е в какви ли не документи и т.н. Един от най-ранните доказателства и поискването от Византия към Цар Симеон да се даде , крепоста и града Солун и да стане римски град, а не български и никъде не се говори за гърци. Управление на Симеон 893 до 927 година.И така сама си правете сметките! Значи сметни си сама от кога е бил български град! Желая ви успех!

[@pilepetelkov]

Защо не са създали азбука на албанците например?Защото не са познавали езика им.Знаели са български толкова добре,че да го превърнат в писменост защото са българи.

[@briantravelman]

I would visit Varna, Balchik, Burgas and Nessebar of course, but that's where everyone goes! Very few travelers venture into the interior of Bulgaria. I wanna experience the REAL Bulgaria, like the one they showed in this video, you know? Not the tourist Bulgaria.

[@Draco-kd7ti]

bulgaria is cool country just like romania serbia and moldova.

[@MariaLuisa-nc4uu]

[@mi6obravoto]

You have a point, but what Bulgarian civilization code stands for is only due to Orthodoxy as it shaped the character of the place. This is the pivotal part of the country's culture and way of life, although this is changing now. I object Pomaks being put in separate group, since they belong in full to the Bulgarian ethnicity, regardless of any current political moves. They, the Bulgarian muslims present only a different religious appurtenance. We love them, but we do not pray with them.

[@emilianstanev1928]

[@stars5206]

Bulgaria is oldest country in Europe. Bulgaria is first national state in Europe which adopt Christianity and Bulgarian church became first national independent church in Europe in year 927. Bulgarians created Bulgarian Civilization with Bulgarian language, Bulgarian alphabet Cyrillic and Orthodox Christianity. Bulgarians spread Christianity and the Bible, translated into Bulgarian language and written in Cyrillic, among the so-called "Slavs" and incorporated most of the "Slavs" into Bulgarian civilization, including the Russians. All so-called "Slavic" languages are created on the basis of Bulgarian language. Russian language and so-called "Slavic" languages on the Balkans are dialects of Bulgarian language. Today about 300 million people in Eurasia including Russia use Bulgarian writing system Cyrillic as the official alphabet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bulgarian_Empire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_I_of_Bulgaria en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Bulgarian_Empire

Why do you think that bulgarians dont speak english? Of course we do. Most of the children start to learn english before they go to school.Of course, if you go to a small village, its not for sure that you gonna find somebody who can speak english, especially if the village is muslim, There are a lot of them, who dont speak even bulgarian. In my opinion, you should visit some of our seaside resorts during the summer season. You will have a great time!

[@DaCatOnTop]

haha Rick Steves is the shizznit lol

[@Coowallsky]

No, I would chalk it up to your vivid imagination.

[@briantravelman]

Because they didn't speak it in the video, and it doesn't get a lot of English speaking tourists. Wow! That's sad that they live in Bulgaria and don't speak Bulgarian! We have Mexicans, Chinese, and Hmongs here who don't speak English! lol They just come set up their own communities, and live as they would at home, and don't even care that they're in another country. The resorts are least exciting for me. I would visit Sun Coast, but I am more interested in small towns, villages, and monasteries

I have a friend who is Bulgarian, they say I pronounce things right, I'm an American. So your comment is now debunked. You shouldn't say ignorant things about other countries when you don't even know every single American.
