Why should a resident have to apply for a visa?????? If that is the case BG must be the only country in the world which does that. It would not surprise me right enough. It is now 31 years since I started working there and I am still amazed at what they do. Anyway i am old enough to remember traveli...

It is a long time since I posted, but coming across this made me sad. Unfortunately it is all true and the youngsters are leaving in their droves. Bulgaria has the fastest falling population in the world. It is run by thieves and gangsters, but the underlying problem has always been the absolute ign...

it may be a guy called wilf's house.

Brill. I will maybe see you there. I am in Kavarna June till September
