Lawyers. A lot of them. Good or bad, they speak to the point or just throw words to the wind with a smart look. Having heard about the problem, they put “rose-colored glasses” on the client, describing an excellent picture of a prompt solution to the issue. Lawyers in Bulgaria are psychotherapists who are ready to tell you that everyone around you is wrong, and the law is on your side. Just give them money and they will arrange everything. As a rule, the lawyer presents you with only one of the options for the development of events, the most promising and necessarily profitable for him, because they will take money from you in advance. Money in the morning - chairs in the afternoon, money in the afternoon - chairs in the evening... and this is in the best case, since there is also the option “it didn’t work out”.

Blowing beer in small quantities is beneficial. Denying this is as stupid as climbing Everest in stiletto heels. There is a legend that Irish women in labor were given a pint of Guinness. You don't have to marry an Irishman to enjoy a good, strong, espresso-flavored stout from O'Hara's or a ruby red ale with a distinctly malty, nutty Kilkenny ale. The widest possible selection of the ancient drink can be found in the center of Sofia, in the Halbite biraria; there are three of them in the city. The author of the article left the sober-diet express on the beer road and ended up in a biraria located on Three Ears Street, house No. 13, a 5-minute walk from the busy Vitosha Boulevard. Prick up your ears because the article deserves your attention and the biraria deserves a visit.

Bansko is considered the most budget ski resort in Europe. At worst, the city is called cheap. Cheapness and freebies attract tourists not from all over the world, as they say, but those who don’t have enough for “big” Europe, but really want to. It’s a pity, because Bansko is truly a unique place.

The desire to imitate each other, being “out of fashion”, lack of taste is a sign of a Bulgarian soul that has grown old and faded in routine. To be and remain well-groomed, a modern Bulgarian woman does not need to fantasize, everything is invented, she just needs to keep up with the times, listen to experts and perform a minimum set of hygiene rituals. Raising the preservation of beauty to the rank of the main goal in life is pointless and boring; in any case, carrying a young face and body through a long life is impossible, especially in Bulgaria!

Today we will talk about a picturesque town, comfortably located in the Razlozh basin, at an altitude of 936 meters above sea level, at the foot of the Pirin mountain range. A little-known fact, but many centuries ago, on the site of Bansko, in the valley of three mountains (Rila, Rhodope and Pirin), a huge lake sparkled under the bright rays of the sun. But time passed and the water element retreated, finding a way out through the Mesta River into the Byalo (Bulgarian) Aegean Sea, thereby giving way to a man who came here after a wild beast.

The journey from the southern border of Bulgaria to the Greek city of Thessaloniki takes only two hours. The name of the Bulgarian checkpoint is Kulata, the Greek one is Promahonas. The document collection point has its own peculiarity: stamps from both countries are affixed at the same time. To travel across the border you will need a Schengen visa (or a passport allowing visa-free entry). It is necessary to present Bulgarian residence permit/permanent residence cards (for those who have them). You will also need to show documents for the car. No additional documents are required for cars with blue license plates. Before your trip, it’s worth checking whether Greece is covered by your car insurance. On the way there is one section of the toll road costing 2 €, payment can be made in cash or by card.

Many tourists, as well as citizens living in Bulgaria on a permanent basis, are quite surprised by the fact that such an antiseptic as Miramistin is not available in pharmacies. With rare exceptions, the drug can be found on sale on the sea coast, or in pharmacies in large cities, but most often pharmacists shrug their shoulders, since they have not even heard of this antiseptic.

About 300 years ago, thousands of cuttings of oilseed roses were brought from Turkey to Bulgaria, carefully as the most expensive cargo. One fine morning a miracle happened. Thousands of rose buds bloomed with the grandeur of velvet petals, greeting the morning light, and the simple village of Kazanlak turned into a fragrant kingdom of amazing fields, into the very Valley of Roses that medieval musicians dreamed about and lovers dreamed about, which poets saw in romantic dreams.
