I lived now a third of my life in Bulgaria (i'm 42) and that is not gonna change anymore. There are quite a few negative things here, but the positive sides outweigh rhem by far. I Thnik its even safe to say, bulgaria wouldn't be the same without its imperfections. Hoiwever, I really hope they manage to get the corruption out of their goverment soon, because its not OK that people suffer from that.
Very Correct and I hope one day they do sort it out, Though glad you agree with the fact that the ups outweigh the downs. I’m Also doing a live online premier of my new video today 16:00 Bulgarian Time (EET) that I’d like to invite you to, It’s about my First experience in Sofia and a sleeper train from Varna th-cam.com/video/xmUd2-FnKE4/w-d-xo.html
As a Bulgarian, I find this video very heart-warming. All reactions were different. The Swedish guy was more direct, the Russian girl definitely did a bit more of research. Hope more Bulgarians see this video and learn to appreciate what we have as a country instead of the daily negative, passive complaints.
I like the way Sirena Rodriguez explains, the active participation of her hands and eyes in the monologue. If all Mexicans are like her, then I definitely like Mexico.
great, I'm very happy that you enjoyed this Video. I’m Also doing a live online premier of my new video today 16:00 Bulgarian Time (EET) that I’d like to invite you to, It’s about my First experience in Sofia and a sleeper train from Varna th-cam.com/video/xmUd2-FnKE4/w-d-xo.html
Salut François, si tu vois le message je suis dans un village près de Pavlikeni (+- 90km) à l'occasion, si ça te dit, on pourrait ce voir (je viens parfois à Gabrovo). Do skoro, moje bi ;)
The idea of the video was to show what people love about the country for this was no negative comments, it’s definitely not a perfect country but nowhere perfect exists
Not sure if we watched the same video? The Swedish guy definitely alluded to the lack of (local) government control and to some of the infrastructure being quite rundown, same thing for the Canadian/Bulgarian guy. Many of those people were from countries that are not necessarily in a better position currently
@@oliviamarsden7973 I probably did miss it. From my perspective those critical comments got lost in the cascade of gushing positiveness. My experience is that Bulgarian is a beautiful country that is under-appreciated. But it is also wall-to-wall corruption in every cavity of life, including business, friendships, even close relationships and the list goes on. People prefer to rip you off than to establish a positive, productive, and profitable relationships... And if you indulge me, let me reply for you. "the negatives are all my fault…" :)
@@yanbu000 I guess you are right. But I am 54 years old Bulgarian, never gave a bribe in my life. I know there is a corruption, perhaps in every day life too, but I have never experienced what you describe. Yes, there is a certain mentality in people "lets milk the foreigner dry" but it is not vastly spread. I have worked in several companies with excellent and productive relations with EU companies. And the remark about corruption in friendship....coundn't disagree more.
Everyone has a different approach, why is here. The French guy explains it in a way I like, as a Bulgarian. Mexican- the people and the dogs are nore rude in winter.., ha ha. True.
There are lots of great foreigner groups on there, my included, they have lots of Bulgarian village groups that people sell a lot of seedlings, plants and things and give great advice
hihi simularitiest between Afganistan and Bulgaria-this is the one-Bulgaria has bin in wars and yokes,for 1400years,with all empires,from East,to the West,since khazars and avars,mongols,latin,east roman,ottoman,brits,russians,may forgot some,hihi we are here,but where all empires go .They say Afganistan is breacker of empires,but Bulgaria not fall much behind,as you see,sorry i hate empires.Healt and happynes :)

Garet if you now have a Bulgarian citizenship, I will personally recommend you to our politicians for a Minister of Tourism, all of them have failed tremendously on how to brand the country as a tourist destination. They have all focused on the idea of cheap place for the Summer beaches primarily Sunny beach and Bansko for the winter. However, they ignored the fact that Greece and Turkey cannot compete with Bulgaria on Green Ecological Tourism. Such as ecopath tourism, ecological cave exploration and many more that cannot come on my mind but apperently our country can offer foreigners stuff that are interesting for them that cannot be found in other countries. I watched recently their debates about tourism but from what I understand they didn't even invite the foreigners that are already living here that understand better than us what are best pros and cons are and what to focus on primary. If you could make a video from your point of view as a foreigner about this and how Bulgaria should be rebranded towards the international scene to attract more tourists that would be lovely to watch.
Dude as far as I am concerned, those mofos at the Parliament are just lackeys, also robbing the country and filling their pockets like they are going to live forever!
@@ПиерБиньоласИкономика That's a VERY good point, my man. Massive tourism is cancer. I have witnessed it when I used to live in Barcelona. You become the victim of your own success. Prices go up, tourists misbehave, lack of peace and quiet, dodgy people. Cultural and identity get lost and so many other factors.
Bulgarian is not that phonetic as it looks like (at least to to Serbo-Croatian and ''Macedonian'' level but way more phonetic than Russian). Even natives don't admit that but it's true and there are many examples, but at least our spelling is not like French or English at least thank God.
19:37 Maria, we know exactly what you mean. Most of us feel the same way about Russians. Especially when we meet in other parts of the world where neither they or us are at home - there is an instant connection which is hard to put in words but is undeniably there.
The most accurate definition of a foreigner who settled and started his life in Bulgaria is a KALIN from Sweden. Get into his words, but to begin to understand us Bulgarians, the native people of this holy land, learn our language and a little history. And I don't respect people who don't know anything about our country and just put their finger on the globe and ended up in Bulgaria by accident. These are just russian roulette players! And Bulgaria, following the example of Holywood somewhere in the desert of western America, should be called the Holy Land of the Balkans! ===== най-точното определение на чужденец, уседнал и започващ живота си в България е на Kалин от Швеция. Вникнете в думите му, но за да започнете да разбирате нас, българите, местния народ на тази свещена земя, научете езика ни и малко история. А не уважавам хора, които не знаят нищо за страната ни и просто са сложили пръста си на глобуса и са попаднали случайнов България. това са просто играчи на руска рулетка! А България, по примера на Свещената гора някъде в пустинята на западна Америка, трябва да се нарича Свещената земя на Балканите!
Corruption is ubiquitous all around the world. Some countries like in the us corruption is legalized....campaign contributions are legal...which is bribery
If youlive in the mountains you cannot expect to have plumming and electiricity made for one house,if you pay for the wire they will bring you power....in the citys we have central heating,gas,water,plumming,electricity,internet ,television and everything neccesary,but in the mountain you are in the wild of course you will be on your own

If you haven’t watched it,give it a shot😉
Kalin the Swede called it the wild east 😊

I move to Bulgaria end of the year ❤
I wish you all the best of luck, with a smooth transition.

Thank u very much .

Great video! Thank you 💜
You are so welcome!
Yep Kalin is definitely the MVP of the clip, Nazdrave Swedish bro 🤓🥂
Very nice video ! It looks like a fairy tale😉It would be interesting if the same people could tell us also what they don't like in Bulgaria.
Is not going to happen is all fake
Thanks for the comment, not sure it would be received as well….I have a video about problems and issues when moving here
The negatives are well known
I like the way Sirena Rodriguez explains, the active participation of her hands and eyes in the monologue. If all Mexicans are like her, then I definitely like Mexico.
Latin people are very expressive with their hands that’s true
Thank you

This is not a ' reason ' that you like it. This is many different reasons. That these ppl all like it.
cool but i'm so lazy i unironically can't turn the volume up to see what kinda language they're speaking...well anyway good video...
Glad you enjoyed it
We also have mafia but it is political mafia
Sad but true
Politicians are mafia by definition
Is there a good website to meet Bulgarians or foreigners in Bulgaria ?
Do you have Facebook
@@ATasteofBulgaria yes..... Why?
There are lots of great foreigner groups on there, my included, they have lots of Bulgarian village groups that people sell a lot of seedlings, plants and things and give great advice
In 500 years, people will wonder about the Bozludzha monument. They'll think it was left behind by aliens.

Бате когато чужденците говорят по-добре за България отколкото българите.
Когато си видял и друго можеш да направиш разлика и да оцениш хубавото. Нормално е.
That’s the world we live in 😉

Tourism would precisely destroy everything that these people love about Bulgaria - peace, freedom, clean air, space...

Bulgarian is a phonetic type, which is cool, for every sound you have designated Letter ^^ noIce ^^
At least that, otherwise would be impossible to learn

The connection is strong…as should be. Though the young don’t see it
Руснаците са нагли на гъз, не знам с какви си се срещал/а ти, но по-надути от тях са само французите.
I view Russians as same people. Mentality, sense of humor is same
Proud to be part of the bulgarians
if our leaders were more humane than bulgaria would be a much better place to live

Colin seens quite wise and made some very astute observations. Corruption is everywhere it is usually just dressed differently.
Corruption is ubiquitous all around the world. Some countries like in the us corruption is legalized....campaign contributions are legal...which is bribery

Its not true bulgarians dont have guns,i have a neighbour and he posses a gun...he is a police officer😂😂😂😂
Disliked. Reason: Sofia is not Bulgaria.
This is not a reason , there are many reasons that ppl like bulgaria

It's safer in bulgaria than in most western countries. I've never been mugged in bulgaria. Been mugged in us multiple times.
Fake and artificial … i think . Nothing wrong with Bulgaria but the video is so fake
How did you come to that conclusion, what exactly is fake?
