The Bulgarian people

The people that I have come across in Bulgaria have been wonderful,they are mostly poor and they work very hard to make end's meet , but if you need help with anything, and when your in a foriegn land you usually do need some kind of assistance,even if it's only direction's,they seem to go out of their way to help,even if they don't know english they will telephone someone who does, to help out ,this happen's to us on a regular basis (I am not good with maps) I have walked around Yambol with a group of youth's about 17 or 18 year old's that were showing me the way to a mobile phone shop and I felt perfectly safe with them they were polite and happy to show me the way,( I definetly would not have done this in the uk .) I have had gift's from my neighbour's these consisted of homemade yoghurt which was wonderful , a boquet of flower's and a tortoise(apparently to eat the weed's in my garden when we aren't there to dig them up.) On a whole these people are good honest hardworking people who welcome you into their country . I have added a few photo,s of bugaria so please take a look.
