Im proud of beeing bulgarian

Sems like a great place to call home.

Sold. Must visit Plovdiv. Another great video. Thanks for adding another place to my growing list!

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

So much more to come! Thank you for watching!

[@chakiaman9375]

There’s no city in the world like Plovdiv. 🤍💚❤️

[@GreatCityAttractions]

It looks an amazing city.

[@airic2897]

What a cool city, loved the cobblestone and old gates. Really neat how they kept the old stadium and incorporated it as well.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

It is so cool how they incorporated the stadium in old town. The entire time you are walking, there is so much beneath your feet!

[@AndrewE8001]

The ampitheatre looks amazing. It's crazy to think how something this grand could just disappear, until it is rediscovered. It also puts time into perspective, at least for me, and how short life is, and how we must make the most of it. It's so cool seeing you both travel the world. Wishing I could do the same. Where to next?

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

It is so much fun to dive into the history of wherever we land. Even our advancements today could turn to dust and disappear in a few thousand years. We feel it is a must to go out and see everything we can. It might not be there one day. Thank you for watching. Maybe one day we can take some of our subscribers along with us 👀. Sosas at Sunrise tour anyone?! Up next for us is a pit stop in Cyprus before heading to Armenia!

[@AndrewE8001]

@@SOSASATSUNRISE You guys are awesome. I really enjoy watching your travels. A Sosas at Sunrise tour with subscribers would be amazing, and I'd love to join. Enjoy Cyprus and Armenia!

The city was named after Philip of Macedonia after he captured it. He was Alexander the Great father. Hisar is also another small town with even more ruins than Plovdiv.

[@vstefanov07]

The name "Plovdiv" first appeared around that time and is derived from the city's Thracian name Pulpudeva (assumed to be a translation of Philippopolis, from Pulpu = Philippou and deva = city), which was rendered by the Slavs first as Pəldin (Пълдин) or Pləvdin.

[@thegallivanthropologists]

I did not realize the antiquity here. It was on the edge of being off of our World tour until I heard that. Thanks for the inspiration. We really appreciate what you are doing here and also the support of our channel as we build up to our carbon-neutral drive around the World. Our recent growth could not be possible without friends like you. Cheers! - Turtle and Bear

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We didn't learn about the layers of history in Bulgaria until we arrived. Amazing city! We are excited to see where your round the world drive takes you! Thank you for watching!

[@vaniad555]

Great view of the town I grew up in, you brought up so many memories with your video, of course, it was very different back in the time and I did perform in the amphitheatre (breathtaking experience).

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

It would be an experience just to watch a performance at the amphitheater. I couldn't imagine actually performing there!

[@kensei232]

Second that - nothing but good memories remain now...

[@dwartbg1]

Many people don't realize the significance why being a city on 7 hills is advertised. It's because Rome is know as the city of 7 hills too. It's the connection with Rome, not just a random fact.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

After all of our travels in Europe and beyond, we have learned there are numerous cities that claim to be built on 7 hills. Since some of those cities are older than Rome, I wonder if those stories came later or was Rome not the original?

Wonderful video, guys! I just love the natural flow of your narratives, feels like I have just lived through this experience with the two of you. Whoever does the editing, great job! Hoping to learn to be half as good as you with it one day. I didn't quite get the impression that you loved the local cuisine. What DID you like the most, if anything?

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Thank you so much! We liked all of the food except the soup. The wine was absolutely amazing. I think at this point in our travels we had tried a lot of eastern European food and nothing blew us away or was unique compared to what we had been eating the past few months. All of that will change as we leave Europe and start heading east! Thank you for watching!

[@masubg]

​@@SOSASATSUNRISEthe tripe soup always goes with additional smashed garlic in vinegar they should have served it in a separate bowl and also hot chilli flakes

[@user-ch7xd9lo1s]

The amphitheater is still working. He is not a ruin. No need of advertisement. You are in the oldest city in Europe, remember?! I'm kidding. In Bulgaria have enormous things, but nobody say to foreigners: Hey, Look at this! Do you know that the oldest gold treasure in the world is founded in Bulgaria?! Don't answer me, it's rhetorical question... If you know, is just you...

[@krasimirkirev5291]

What time of the year was this video taken? By the greenery and the t-shirts I assume is either spring or summer. During the warm half of the year white wine is drunk and in the winter is red. By the way musaka is not Greek, it's Arabic dish. Only because you were told it was Greek doesn't make it Greek.

Quick Tip : Don't go to Alex Foods. The place where they had the chicken. It's awful ! :D There is a kebab shop next to it(don't remember the name). It's much better and their beef is good.

Actually bulgaria is a mediterranian country but after world war one they took our teritorries on the aegean sea along with the island of tassos(it is bulgarian island part of rodope mountain range) ...all because we wanted to unite all bulgarians in one country.....all of our neighbours serbia ,romania greece and turkey are our mortal enemies and we survive like that for 14 centuries...now 70 000 sq km from our territorries are out of the state into the mentioned nations,who commit genocide out there to our people

[@MrMfaust5]

Hello guy and gal, I expected to see you in you SUV ☺️ Grab an airplane and come visit Lebanon and Syria (Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world) Byblos in Lebanon comes a close second.

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

We would love to come to Lebanon and Syria! Unfortunately I do not think we are allowed into Syria at this time. 😕 Both destinations are high on our list!

[@MrMfaust5]

Yes, you're right, I think you need a visa to enter Syria. But you can both receive a tourist visa for Lebanon at the airport in Beirut. You can certainly pay with USD almost everywhere, but it's good to have Lebanese Lira with you; the "market" rate fluctuates daily, so ask more than one currency exchange office. Good luck with your travels 🙋

I watch plenty of those "Foreigners in Plovdiv" as a local resident out of curious for this place from outsider`s set of eyes... However they are so alike... the clips since like ~5-6 years ago... That I don`t find it in me to comment. They are all "The City Center", The Theater, The Food and possibly "Room Check". Not that it`s bad and it`s different people, alone or couples, every time so it`s interesting every time... But deviations are rear... When someone climbs one of the hills... or go to the Rolling Channel... those are nice. Recently I watched a very good old solitary guy`s clip of around. However... Of all the places "Youth Hill" is the rarest... Is why I decided to write you... I am gonna write you something Dirty, it`s also sort of exposing and embarrassing for myself, but oh well... it`s life. The very entry point you walked into trough the hill is former Hooker "w8ting plot". Before the area of the other side of the street weren`t as "civilized". Now the dormitory of the dental medicine university, or at least a wing of it, is build there and there are 24 shop and at the day cafe shop for the students. Also the entire cobbled stone street leading deeper into the park is Lit by lamps (it used to not be)... Now there also are municipal security cars having a shift there at night time. However, before on that very corner, next to the trash bin you walked to on the sidewalk, there used to be a ~girl or two w8ting (sometimes bearable visually)... If you pick em by car, you drive deeper into the park, get the car off and do your business inside, but if you go without a car, they drag you literally exactly where google maps lead you trough (slightly above the sidewalk in those bushes) and you do em there the way you paid for to do em... and you throw the condom on the ground and the tissue they gave you to wipe with right there. It`s a little bit horrible, but that place there is/used to be something like open air public paid sex toilet... and haven`t been properly cleaned since it would seem. There were a few "corners" in that area... from mentioned corner, through the back street of the one next to the Dental Medicine University, right to the Central Railway station that used to offer 3~5 different girls per small hours of the night on good days... However now the area got a lot more ~civilized and both the girls (sometimes they were not actually female admittedly) and their clients are way more ashamed. At least I am. Also now with this being wrote... You should have gone to the top... Why didn`t you just go to the top... come on...

[@SOSASATSUNRISE]

Makes sense 😅

[@kensei232]

Overshare much, Maina? TMI

[@Butcherbg]

@@kensei232 I think it`s an important part of the history of the town. I mean... for me at least. Without those... IDK... I have never had >the s*x< that I exactly wanted... a.k.a. with both willing and desired by me girl on a safe comfortable location, full nudity and no time limitation. Intimacy (of the adult type and all other types) galore. Few times I have been close in variations. I mean the s*x itself occurred, but there have always been downsides. Either super awkward situation and fairly drunk, or willing girl with no time restraints that had the best feature of exactly those... and in a car (- comfort for a guy my size) or a situation so awkward I am not describing how awkward it was... those are in fact all my 3 free times in my entire life... The next best (actually it`s mixed in the rankings) was in whore house in our dear Capitol. At least was in a room, with a decent girl... but condom and time restrain... she still put the effort on and offed me the per the hour ~twice acceptable. Now my life is still mediocre with the tendency to definitely get worse over time (it`s the only thing realistically happens to a human being while aging, no joking about it) but the point is if not the way I wanted at least I can have the memory of numerical count and ~"diversity"... in fact might have gotten a bit... too diverse a few times... but oh well. Of course there are overall down sides... STDs for example. And it`s still illegal bad activity that comes from and stimulates other bad activities and situations. It`s a sad thing in a sad country.

[@generaltaung1094]

" Musaka " is a Greek but also have Bulgarian version lol Everything you know as Greek was taken from the Bulgarians. There are even people who think that yogurt comes from Greece. This is how they deceive westerners and the world to attract them as tourists. The name Greece appeared at the beginning of the 19th century on the world map, how did the country with "ancient Greeks" and "the most ancient history" in the world become!? There is no Greek who can read and translate the "ancient Greek" inscriptions meaningfully, but we Bulgarians can and for us what is written makes sense, for the greeks is a . . . mystery. The biggest lie "Ancient Greece" and "Latin culture" is disintegrating every second at the speed of light. You guys are really cool but when you travel eat, drink and enjoy life but at all costs avoid the history of the country you are in. This is dark territory for you, not to mention that Bulgarians are one of the oldest ethnicity on earth. Regarding the old clock tower, here we have some cookies called "squirrel" if you haven't, try them, but don't expect squirrels to start climbing out of the box when you open the box. Good luck and I hope you had fun here (* *,)
