Why we skipped Sofia for Plovdiv.

[@maria.todorova1991]

I live here almost 14 years. I love this town. Nice choice to skip Sofia for Plovdiv.

[@martinseele325]

I live in Plovdiv! It is indeed a delightful place.

[@johanvandijk2941]

Thanks Steph and Pete for you nice video about the great city that we live for over 7 years now. Well don!

GREAT JOB! Just added Plovdiv to my bucket list. (Note to self, don't take the train). Absolutely loved seeing Hays getting appropriate facetime. Can't wait for Istanbul.

Hey ya! I will be going to Plovdiv from Sofia. May I know why I shouldn't take train?

[@wannarockful]

@@aidenho6085 just don't. I'm a local, trust me. Get the bus

[@aidenho6085]

@@wannarockful sure. But I need a tangible answer why?

[@wannarockful]

@@aidenho6085 because they are slow, they stink, they have delays, they are dirty and so on

[@jordan9339]

@@aidenho6085 OK! You are safe with a train but they are VERY slow, and not that clean. It wouldn't be the most pleasant experience and maybe that's why they are so SLOW. Tickets are dirt cheap though.

There's a Bulgarian joke that the best thing in Sofia is the sign for Plovdiv. (it's not a joke)

[@96gogoto]

Good choice. Best city in Bulgaria!

Haven't commented since you guys were under 10K Subs, but still one of my fav. channels!! Cheers. 🍻🍻

[@StephandPete]

Aw, wow! You've been around awhile! We really appreciate you watching! How did you find us in the first place?

[@DavePulsifer]

I would assume SE Asia videos & You Tube pushing your content out there, I'm addicted to all things SE Asia, so much cheaper than Canada & the West in general. & the people seem so nice!! Someday, when I can take more than a couple weeks at a time!! Cheers. @@StephandPete

[@StephandPete]

Makes sense! We’re back in SE Asia now so we’ll have some videos you’ll enjoy in a few weeks.

[@DavePulsifer]

@StephandPete lol...that's a funny coincidence, have fun and be safe!! 🍻

[@rickwoolcock5422]

Always good to see Pete on the floor with his Lego. Never heard of Plovdiv. Had to look it up. I love the idea of the 'artsy vibe.' Beautiful place. Looks nice and laid-back. It's a pity that Bulgaria is one of those countries that we foreigners know so little about. Really enjoyed that 😛

[@StephandPete]

The whole Balkan region is entirely underrated! It's a great place to travel-- as long as you don'g mind busses. 😉

[@jordan9339]

Sofia resident here. There are a lot of tourists lately. Steph and Pete made good choice to skip Sofia for Plovdiv. And as they said, the whole Balkans are extremely underrated and and it's safer than Western Europe for tourists. Busses suck a little less than a trains, and if you don't mind renting a car you can visit many many interesting places at less than 1 hour drive from Plovdiv but it's not that easy with a public transport. Driving here is a little challenging though, but not that much as in southern Italy. And as I said, there are a lot of tourists lately, and intensive tourism makes the places different. And not in a good way. So it's might be better to visit those places sooner.

[@peterkorek-mv6rs]

The guy from 2:00 is a turkish entertainer/sportsman who loves Plovdiv and performs his show at this place.

[@StephandPete]

Really? Cool!

[@asaggu1173]

was waiting for this video to see your train travel saga

[@ChefEarthenware]

Lol. I noticed "unique-est" as well :)

[@ludiqtitan]

The lego boat idea is actually not a bad idea at all.

[@StephandPete]

Right!?

[@sagarandami]

Seriously, it's so fun watching your vlogs

[@StephandPete]

Aww, thanks y’all!

[@adamandlinds]

"Ohh, he's playing with an ashtray..." 3 seconds later... "EWWWWW!!!" lol! I see the amount of Lego you are traveling with is ever-increasing, lol!

[@StephandPete]

You sir (or ma’am but I think it’s Adam), are observant. There are so many of these ashtray moments that I often edit out but occasionally I’m like, I want to remember this. The Lego multiplies but it’s basically the only toy so we don’t complain. 😆

[@mitkodimitrov8396]

of yes oldest city in Europe,you dig and find some ruin,thracian,roman and so on,but first you must learn,for Plovdiv is what word Айляк(Ailjack maybe in english) mean hhihihi.Healt and happynes,from Plovdiv

PLOVDIV IS SIMPLY BETTER

[@georgiesmith567]

💪❤️👍

[@nikolayivanov7705]

If you want to see the real Bulgaria never go to Sofia. It's the armpit of the country. Just land at the airport, and get out ASAP. Even the people living there can't wait for the weekend to get the f.... out of there. Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Bourgas, Varna, Veliko Tarnovo. Make a trip in the mountains, or the Black sea coast. You'll have a much better time.

[@rawka_7929]

Sofia is quite beautiful in a lot of parts, speak for yourself man. Also, of course the people are out abroad when it's summer, because it gets a bit boring to stay in the same city 24/7, no matter the city.

[@nikolayivanov7705]

@@rawka_7929 Just the summer? Every weekend there are traffic jams on the exits. People go to live in the armpit for the higher wages, not because of the city. And for tourists? There are way more interesting things to see outside of the armpit.

[@rawka_7929]

@@nikolayivanov7705 As a native citizen of "the armpit", I can tell you that no, in fact our roads are not jammed 24/7 because people want to leave. At most, it's people going back home because a lot actually work in Sofia but live elsewhere.

[@AuramiteEX]

Wrong. Sofia ie a great city with lots to see.

[@krasinikolov3842]

Коте, в София има далеч по-стари и значими забележителности от Ст Загора или Боургасс. А това, че София е мръсна се дължи на факта че всички Ст Загорци и бургазлии, и провинция се е набутала в столицата да търси препитание. Което е обяснимо. Така че стига вече с глупостите.
