Life in Bulgaria.
Bulgaria, Karnobat, Bulgarian Old Lady.
I am from the United Kingdom, and through the medium of this
website I will try and answer many of the questions about buying
a property in Bulgaria, that I only found the
answers
to after
I
actually visited Bulgaria for myself. I found unbiased information
difficult
to find on the internet, and high resolution pictures of Bulgaria
very scarce.
Most of the websites I visited before I first came to Bulgaria,
were trying to sell me something, and it was then difficult to
know
if
the
information
they were presenting to me was totally true.
For those of you who are thinking of buying a property in Bulgaria,
whether to use as a holiday home, or as a permanent base, I will
hopefully answer many of your questions on these pages. I will
try to provide you with enough information to help you to decide
whether buying a house in a village is right for you, or maybe
you would
prefer
a
house
or
apartment
in a town, or even the city.
The main thing that I have found out about the Bulgarian people
is how friendly they are, and if I were to choose an accolade
for them, it would be to say that their hospitality knows no bounds.
It takes me back to my childhood in a poor mining village in Wales
back in the 1950's, when no-one had very much, but there was a
great
feeling of neighbourliness, and everyone helped each other - sadly
we have lost the ability to be like that - in Bulgaria they still
have it.
I am now smitten by Bulgaria, mostly by the wonderfully hospitable
and kind Bulgarian folk that I have met, but also by the country
itself. Bulgaria has many faces - even the people themselves range
in colour from pure white to very dark. The places one may visit
in a relatively small country, vary from the snowy skiing resorts
to wonderful sunny beaches. Without a doubt there is great poverty
in the villages,
but also great wealth in the towns and cities.
A Bulgarian friend told
me the following story: When God made the world, he
made all
the countries except Bulgaria, and when
asked where it was he said he had forgotten to make it. The only
other land that God had was the land that he had made for himself,
and it was an especially beautiful place. To make amends God
gave his own land and this land is now known as Bulgaria. This
then
explains why Bulgaria
is such a beautiful country.
If you have photographs of Bulgaria - old or recent - and you
would like to share them with the world, in order that they may
share in the beauties of this wonderful countrty, please email
me high resolution scans here
please. Please ensure that whoever owns the images has approved
their use, otherwise we will be in contravention of copyright law.
