Children in Bulgaria, features of education

How much should you tip in Bulgaria?
In much of the world, there has long been a tradition of rewarding service workers personally, above and beyond established rates. The tradition of tipping originates in England, when guests who were invited to tea, stayed late and stayed overnight, left the hosts' servants a reward for service. In the modern world, tipping traditions vary. In Japan, for example, if you leave money on the table, the waiters will rush to catch up with you to return what you forgot.

The secret of the popularity of second-hand shops in Bulgaria
In Bulgarian cities, the abundance of second-hand clothing stores is striking. Sometimes there may be several of them in one block, and all of them are in demand.

The position of people who fundamentally buy only new things evokes understanding: disgust towards things that carry someone else’s energy is understandable. But as they say: “never say never!”
