I travel by taxies every day. In Sofia. How come that you come here for the first time and you are immediately offered drugs, and no one has ever offered me anything. Another remark: "Russian style of writing" - no such thing. The Cyrilic alphabet was developed in Bulgaria, suited to our language by yhe students if Cyril and Methodius. From Bulgaria it was taken to Russia when they turned to Christianity 100 years after Bulgaria.

Thanks for the presentation. In September, I will take a 2-week tour of Bulgaria, for the second time. It;'s a mountainous country with many nice places, so the traject will not overlap the first one, with the exception of Sofia. This time we will not get into Sofia, but do some sightseeing on Mt. Vitosha.

The absence of Schengen on land is not due to a lack of confidence in the EU. On the contrary, the EU has confidence in BG's borders, but one country (Austria) is still opposed.

Thank you for your presentation. I was in Varna two weeks ago. The food is indeed varied and good and considerably cheaper than ours. Bulgaria is a beautiful country. By the way, I had a delicious meal in a restaurant in the port of Varna. The food was great and so was the service. I didn't go there well prepared and I should have had a better look at your presentation first. I ended up here because my girlfriend is from Bulgaria. What's sad is the way people looked at me. I didn't feel welcome there. When I went to get a drink at the Golden Sands Beach bar, I was asked where I came from. I said I'm from the Netherlands. The answer I got: "What the fuck are you doing here? Go to France, Greece or Italy!" I thought: "That is also clear and a good advertisement for your own country!"

Just a few points to add here as the information in the video was not quite correct. - The Shengen area (due to Austria's government Bulgaria was accepted only by air and sea) this is most likely to change starting 2025 as the veto has been lifted - In the cities and tourist villages you will not have a problem with speaking only English - The population of Sofia is officially 1.3m, unofficially about 1.6m - You can fly in Burgas as well, also Sunny Beach is closer to Burgas rather than Varna - The Bulgarian Lev is tied to the Euro with a fixed exchange rate of 1.95 leva to 1 euro, making it quite easy to calculate how much things cost. To add a few items: - For taxies in Sofia download an app and use to get to where you want, you can also pay trough the app as well - Outside of Sofia and the bigger cities always have cash on you as they might not have a way for you to pay with card - Within Sofia use the public transport, the metro and busses are integrated with Google Maps and you can pay with card directly on the bus as well - Do not miss out on Plovdiv it has so much to offer

@vladimirgeorgiev71934 ай бұрын
@@StamfordBridge the saints Cyril and Methodius invented the Glagolic alphabet in Great Moravia, and after that their disciples were chased off from that country, and ended up in Bulgaria.. They were the ones who invented the Cyrillic alphabet in Bulgaria, in the late 9th century, and it was invented particularly to fit the needs of spoken Bulgarian, at the time, in order to fend off Greek (Byzantine) influence. The alphabet was named after St. Cyril in his honor but the real inventors were students of Cyril and Methodius, and like I wrote, this happened in Bulgaria. Therefore we consider it Bulgarian alphabet that was later spread to other Slavic peoples like Serbs, Russians, etc.
