just a comment regarding the weather. Sofia is at high elevations ~ 600 meters. It's a mountainous city. Plovdiv, the second largest city and a cultural capital, and Burgas, the 4th largest city, both feature a humid subtropical climate. Literally, all of Southern Bulgaria's lowlands feature either a Mediterranean (Primorsko/Sandanski) or Humid Subtropical climate. You can find wild olives, pomegranate, palm trees and kiwis growing outside w/o any winter protection. 2200-2800 annual sunshine hours. That's not cold. So the author has a rather limited understanding of Bulgaria; his views are only based on living in Sofia. This is like saying - America is cold because New York has bad weather.
I enjoyed your video and narration. Welcome to Bulgaria and Plovdiv! Enjoy your stay.
