| Sorry, been busy most of the day, but here's a quick 30-second job:
" Think of a land steeped in history, tradition and folklore ... think of a land with clean air, fabulous mountains, stunning beaches and vibrant cities ... think of a land with warm, friendly people ... think of a land abundant in natural organic foods, wines and honey. Think it doesn't exist? Think again, think Bulgaria."

| No Neil you are wrong! If you want to start a thread about how you see things in Bulgaria them please do so, this thread as about promoting Bulgaria and its all in aid of the Orphanage in Silistra so its meant to be fun too. I'm sure all of us could say all sorts of negative things about Bulgaria but that not what this thread is for. As I have already said start a thread of your own if you wish and don't worry about the sheep they help you sleep |

No need for apologies you are entitled to your opinion of Bulgaria and this forum allows us to express our views :Clap:As Ashley has said why don't you start a new topic about your experience in Bulgaria I'm sure you will get some good replies as we have all at sometime experienced the negative side. |

| Just a couple of ideas I've thought of: When was the last time you seen an advertisement on the tv for Bulgaria? I don't know if its regional but my daughter in the north of England can never find anything in the travel agents for Bulgaria and I dare say the same applies for other media, there's 2 thoughts for you. |

Good point, so let's have your thoughts and suggestions on how you think the Bulgarian Authorities should rectify the situation |

No worries Neil, as Admin said, feel free to open another subject, which can be slightly negative. For instance 'Top Five things you would change about Bulgaria' ... I'm sure you'll get quite a response! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Chris PS. In my experience 'grumbling old farts' have far more interesting things to speak about than young uns! |
