Travelogue 🇧🇬Bulgaria: Bulgaria in a nutshell
▶️ Some countries make you feel more, others less. Bulgaria for me rather less but I also can't say I went to the bottom of it. Some random impressions:
First, crossing from Turkey into Bulgaria comes as a shock because Bulgaria is in the EU and supposed to be richer than Turkey but it doesn't feel like that. Shabby roads, houses, littering, ...
Bulgaria's Black Sea coast feels like a blend (= mixture) of modern mass tourism and communist summer camp.
A cross-country train ride made me feel like I was in 1990s Germany again, and the Bulgarian currency Lev still retains (=keeps) parity (=equal value or strength) with the Deutschmark which no longer exists. That said, Bulgaria will join the eurozone from 1 January.
I also saw a baptism (=ceremony to become a Christian) in a church and old ladies kissing icons (= pictures of holy figures). Bulgarians also seem to be pious (= religious) when remembering the dead.
