Da, taka e.

Thank you! It's a beautiful city :)

HI! thanks for watching. Yes, definitely bring some layers. When the sun's out, it's not so chilly, but the evenings definitely require warm winter layers.

Hi there, out of curiosity, what is a glarus? I thought it was a city in Switzerland.

@@traveltosomeplaces "Glarus" (European herring gull) is a term dating back to distant socialism. This is a character from whom the myth of Bulgarian hospitality towards beautiful foreign women started. He is a male personality, a lover and connoisseur of female beauty, who has worked out stereotypes of behavior towards romance-seeking, boring ladies. They call him "glarus" because its usual hunting grounds are the beaches. Its winter variety is the ski teacher.😊

Interesting. I found both the women and men of Varna to be polite and helpful during my exploration of this beautiful city.

@@traveltosomeplaces I'm glad. Basically, this is more of a joke than a current reality for the "glarus". Don't be afraid of the "glarus", they are not rude. They are polite, kind. In fact, this is the Bulgarian banal variant of skirt-chaser. I wish you a pleasant vacation in Bulgaria. I like the way you present the information.

Thank you. No skirt-chasers just good people. In fact, I got stopped several times with people asking me for directions, so I blended right into the city and that's nice.

Hi! And yes, precisely, just a calm, cool, and relaxing city. I'm looking forward to experiencing it in the summer months and exploring some more.

Hi and thank you for following along in the adventures! Bulgaria is lovely! I knew about Sofia so that's where I went first and with more research I learned about Plovdiv and Varna and had an amazing time exploring both cities. The food in Bulgaria is delicious, although I did notice there were more international restaurants versus Bulgarian ones, so you have to do some research if you want to try local cuisine. Regardless, Bulgaria is a wonderful country to visit, it has so many beautiful surprises.

Thank you for sharing this!

That's nice of you. Thank you!

Hi there, yes, the whole concept of Dracula's castle is definitely fictional as the book is fiction, but I suppose over the years, if you are a fan of the book and want to sort of feel like you are able to connect the book to a real place then Transylvania where the book is set - and this castle in Transylvania has become that associated place.

Hi, thanks for the info! Look forward to checking out the video of your visit.

Good day to you. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this historical information pertaining to Vlad Țepeș and his role in Romania's history.

In case you are reading this and speak English - this is the translation:. The origin of the nickname "Dracula" and the nickname "Tepeș" His father, Vlad the Dragon, had been accepted into the Order of the Dragon. The order - which can be compared to that of the Knights of Malta or that of the Teutonic Knights - was a military-religious society, founded in 1408 by Sigismund of Luxembourg, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The symbol of the Order was a dragon, and the purpose was the defense of Christianity and the crusade against the Ottoman Turks. Due to his membership in the Order of the Dragon, Vlad Țepeș's father was nicknamed Draco, after the Latin name of the Order of the Dragon (Draco). The nickname Țepeș was attributed to Vlad III following the frequent executions by impalement that he ordered. Even the Turks called him Kazıklı Bey, (The Head Prince). This name was mentioned for the first time in a Wallachian chronicle from 1550 and has been preserved in Romanian history

Hi, thanks for your reply, as far as I understood, Dracula was Vlad's nickname as his dad's name was Vlad Dracul - and Dracula means son of Dracul - but I'll definitely double check that.

I thought they tasted different from another, but I couldn't put my finger on the difference. Thank you for explaining! I appreciate it!

Thank you!

@@traveltosomeplaces You're welcome, ❤👍🏼❤ do you have facebook.,?

yes! cute local place and some great poutine :)

Hi! If you're talking about the monastery restaurant, I went there after seeing a bunch of good reviews and I like the restaurant-in-a-house concept - and it was actually good! If you have any recommendations, let me know please (in Bulgaria, not just Sofia)

@@traveltosomeplaces Hi! Yes, that one :D I just saw a few other channels going to it and recognized it, looks great! If you plan on going to Varna I'd be able to suggest a few popular, but great nonetheless places, as well as some hidden gems ;) Hope you keep having an amazing time in BG!

@@slav999 yes I'm going to Varna! - let me know what you suggest

@@traveltosomeplaces let me see if theres a way to message here or email you 😄 would be better in detail and with links!

@@slav999 you can just give me the names and I will look them up myself- no worries.

Belgrade has certainly been through a lot, but now we get to see it as a lively city with a lovely mix of the past and the present

@@traveltosomeplaces that's right, I'm glad you noticed it and I hope you enjoy it. best regards!

You have a lovely country! I'm glad you liked the video.

Hi! The cafe I went to said it was a tomato and basil banitsa - I guess it is probably not the original banitsa. I will have to find a place that has the original.

definitely!

They make in Chepelare region near Plovdiv.

Thank you for the info! Will be sure to try a different dish with them when visiting Plovdiv.

Thanks for the advice!

Teşekkür ederim!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks!
