Hahaha! Dying here of laughing. The Bulgarian village man with the red shirt thought that he could handle a bit of English while in the mean time he doesn't understand sh.t, so he was thinking that you want to buy land and he told you that the land next to his place is for sale but hes wasn't. He didn't know at all that you were asking him to take a look inside his house. He was sending you to the mayor for more info ;) Total misunderstanding there :)
TITLE: Don't visit this Bulgarian Village BULGARIAN VILLAGERS: Why is this stranger, with a camera and speaking another language trying to get into our homes?
All these people thought Kurt wanted to buy a house. First guy was saying his house is not for sale. He didn't understand Kurt wanted to have a look inside
@@lamarr51 не е вярно просто горките хора никога не са учели английски по тяхното време се е учело руски и те няма откъде да научат сега защото са на село и пък младите хора и децата говорят много добре английски естествено не всички
Dude ikr.. thats the first thing I was thinking.. like I live in Maine (usa) a bum fuck tiny town, and you go to an old fishing village and ask to look inside someone's house.. good luck.. and walking around people's vehicles like that.. guaranteed trouble.
@@skiibo5289 It's really different though. It's not the U.S. and the guy very very obviously looks like a tourist in some lost Bulgarian farm. It's not like your random Josh in the US asking you to come into your house for no reason. They're not in the city and the guy visiting doesn't look poor or suspicious.
The funny thing is that the taxi driver who is talking about gypsies as “they” is also a gypsy. In Bulgaria there varieties of gypsies that can be grouped according to the language they speak or religion they practice. There are gypsies who are visibly from gypsy background but will vehemently deny that. Those are the types who are the quickest to bring up the subject of gypsies so that they can refer to them as “they”. That’s what this taxi driver who grossly overcharged and cheated Kurt is doing.😀
Omg I'm really mad about this video. I have seen most of your videos about Bulgaria and I loved them a lot... but this one really made me angry. First you go to a village where nobody speak in English because the people are veery old so most of them speak only Bulgarian and Russian because of the comunism... The first guy with the red shirt is a gypsy and the poor man does not understand a single word ,he was trying to help you really bad... he even send you to the mayor. The rest of the people were very kind and tried to help you too. The old guy with the knife is an typical Bulgarian grandpa that is usually very intelligent and can fix everything in the house and you can always see him with an axe because he is cutting trees in the yard or with a knife because he is fixing something... so somebody called him and he got out really fast wanting to help and forgot about the knife, he gave you his hand,he was reaaaaaaaaly kind even that he doesn't understand a single word . He was thinking that you were looking to buy a house and he even let you in and told you that if you want to see youbare welcome,I'm sure that he would even make you eat and drink rakia with him or he wold be ofended... That's how bulgarian hospitality is. But tha fact you go to a place without knowing a fuck about the village wtf did you expect????? Why don't you go with aome bulgarian friend from the city that speaks English and ask him to translate??? It's not so difficult. They are just great people judged because they don't speak the language that you want. Imagine me going to Germany speaking in Bulgarian only saying that the germans are racists because they don't understand me ,they don't help me,they don't give me a good work because i could understand only bulgarian costommers(I think its normal because if you can't speak the language you can't understand what do you have to do) I don't have anything else to say.
Well said. I dont speak the lanaguage, although would TRY to. I would love to go a village like this for an experience without shoving a camera in their faces.
I think I agree with your comment. I think the idea that someone can go to some village in a foreign country, doesn't speak their language,and also just expecting people to invite you in their houses is quite disrespectful..... This guy would never do that in German, it's a Western mentality to romanticise poverty. I think it's very intrusive...and no one ever goes to Germany and expects people to just let them take pictures of their home.
Relax, buddy, he is just trying to get more views, following the trend in TH-cam - provocative title and thumbnail. I think he is actually quite positive about Bulgaria in general.
@@MrZippy93 A bus is cheap yes but a taxi is not. The driver told him that the taxi drive to the stop plus the bus price would cost him. 15 leva. but he also told him will drive him himself there for 45. He had all the information and was free to choose how is this a scam? Its not like the price was hidden from him or he was lied to.
@@MrZippy93 3-4 leva for a taxi ride seems too cheap nowadays. even in small cities that have a a single city-wide charge for any point within it costs 3leva. Sofia for example can cost you 5-7 leva and more for the distance he traveled. I'm guessing Varna is not a lot cheaper.
The turning point was at the very beginning when you told the guy with the red shirt that you’re there to have a look at the VILLAGE. Since he didn’t speak any English he just assumed that you’re looking to buy land to build your VILLA on so naturally he said “no, my land is not for sale I live here”😂 and as a typical village somehow just a moment later the word had spread and everyone else was convinced you’re there to buy land haha
The people from the village basically thought you want to buy their property 😅 Old Bulgarians are really welcoming and friendly warm people just language barrier made your visit awkward, you should try it with a guide or something that can get you in touch with the locals
Dear Kurt I just watched your video I would like to share couple things with you. First Bulgarians specially in small villages like that are the very welcoming people, friendly and warm hearted. If you ask them I can guarantee that they can help you with food, drinks and even to find you place to stay overnight. Its not true they refused to let them in their houses, simply because they did not understand you. Work on your Bulgarian my friend. Also there are dozens mobile apps, that can help you with translation or maybe find someone local to help you. Second for many years foreigners are visiting small villages like this one to buy a land or house and to live there (beautiful nature and cheap cost of life) If you pay attention all people from the video were talking to you and wanted to help you, but they were confused that you are looking to buy a house there not to look inside for your video blog. They were confused and since you were not able properly to ask them they assumed you want to get a house there. As you can see most of them are elderly people living very poor life. Do you think that if I visit small village in Germany and start asking random people to look inside their houses speaking Bulgarian they will let me ? And what would be their reaction ? Do you think anyone would do some extra effort and try to help me even without understanding me ? I had a chance to travel quite few countries on Europe and I know how I was treated as a foreigner and Bulgarian, even though these countries are labelled as democracy and civilized. For the taxi and most of the services in public sector in Bulgaria I have no comment... unfortunately we are far far away from proper customer service. I am Bulgarian and still I am disappointed with bad experiences. Try to be prepared little bit more next time, you can always print at home some sheets with the questions you want to ask in Bulgarian or use the google translation. At the end Bulgaria is a lovely place, very beautiful and amazing as long as you have someone to help you understand our lifestyle and mentality. Stay safe and wish you all the best.
Ok to get this clear. I read a lot of comments where people assume that kurt is from germany. He said one time earlier that he is south african and he is judst saying that he is german to get things easier in counries where the people might not know south africa, which is offensive to bulgarians cause bulgaria is a full mrmber of the european union and the young people there are well educated. Kurt can say a few things in german and i guess his grandfather was german but his father and his mother where both born and raised in south africa. I wrote this long comment because i am german and some people are offending kurt and germany. But kurt isn't able to represent germans in my opinion because we are always polite, friendly and respectful to other people and cultures we don't know.
I'm from Pazardzhik and 15 km from Pazardzhik, there is a beautiful Mine. The village's called Tsar Asen. I really suggest you to go there and see how beautiful it is. But the problem is that it's really far from Varna... I also suggest you to go to Plovdiv, it's the second biggest city in Bulgaria and it's really wonderful. I'm pretty sure at 99%, that the most of people there will understand English and help you out with whatever you need!
Im brom Bulgaria and they dont hide nothing but they just don't want to let a stranger in their house. Would i let somebody that cant even say 3 words on Germany with a camera in your house?
They did not understand you, problem was only this. You asked them to look inside in a house but they guessed you've looked for a house or a place to buy 😂😂 I got everything they told you, because I understand their language. Да са живи и здрави всичките Българи
I`m dying man :D :D The whole village thought that you want to buy their houses :D And the last guy thought you are selling your camera to him. I couldn't stop laughing :D. If you had spoken just a little bit more Bulgarian, you would have had the best time there and definitely the best lunch with lot of rakia.
A simple case of a language barrier causing a lot of misunderstanding. The villagers are convinced that you're looking for a house to buy and point elsewhere while you feel they're not willing to let you inside. How about getting an offline translator app on your smartphone? This could definitely eliminate most of the confusing situations, it's worked great for me so far! Anyhow, thank you for sharing your content and spicening the lives of us stuck at home - stay safe!
Lmfao really how long does it take to learn about foreign hospitality when that’s what you do for a living, it’s very true it’s common sense. This guy needs a reality check
This seemed as a pretty deserted village. You can kind of feel the vibe that the people just don't want to be bothered which can happen sometimes. Also old people hardly ever speak English because in comunism noone studied it (my grandma used to be able speak French, German, Russian and one more language I think )
Também amei a Bulgaria. Pessoas muito acolhedoras, cultura maravilhosa, culinária incrível, e muito bonito. Dinheiro/poder de compra e consumismo não é tudo…
Funny video but you should not say "Da" or "Dobre" if you don't absolutely understand what they are telling you, although it is a surefire way to get into hilarious situations and attract more views and subscribers :).
I have fell inlove with Bulgaria and its people and I need to go for a holiday there very very soon with my husband and two teenagers, its a beautiful, stunning and hospitable country
He was just like a greedy bastard straight off the bat, he did not have a friendly or welcoming vibe from the beginning when he first got into the taxi. He’s not nice or friendly, he was just trying to act like that so he can make a quick buck off a foreigner😐 like the POS he is. And Kurt isn’t from the US , he’s literally South African. And idk what kind of ideology that is to think that just bc someone is from somewhere else, that it makes it okay to scam them and charge them 5x-10x times the amount they should’ve been paying. That shit is not okay regardless if hes “trying to feed his family” like everyone needs money to feed themselves, it doesn’t make it okay to scam someone bc you know that they don’t know the actual price it’s suppose to be. Just greed & ignorance
A taxi from the Cathedral in Varna to the bus station in Varna is 3-4 leva max. And a bus ticket from Varna to Dobrich is 5 leva. I guess you paid 45 for a different kind of experience but next time try to haggle a bit for the price. That would also be fun.
@@venpasa8457 , the distance from the taxi stop next to the cathedral to the bus station is just 1,8 kilometers long. Just checked on Google Earth with the measurement tool. This means no more than 3 Leva in the worst case including waiting on the traffic stops. Also, Debrene is located at the middle BETWEEN Varna and Dobrich, however, the taxi driver decided to keep that in secret, and instead insisted that he will will charge an extra 5 Leva on top of the negotiated 40 Leva to go to Debrene. What a liar.
@@venpasa8457 , преди 3 месеца ти си отговорил(а) на чужд коментар отпреди 11 месеца, т.е. 8 месеца по-късно, така че е забавно как сега задаваш подобен въпрос.
@@AutomotiveCNC I don't see your point mate. I'm obviously fine doing that. I was asking you a question. Also if you take into account the ride to Debrene is around 33 kilometers. and out of city rates plus several stops along the way. he got of cheap for that price.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I CAN'T EVEN WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO TO THE END! I'M FROM BULGARIA. WE ARE SUCH A WARM AND FRENDLY PEOPLE, AND YOU DID'T SHOW IT THAT WAY! I THE SMALL VILLAGE PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND ALTHOUGH THEY DON 'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE TELLING THEM THEY WERE LEFT WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU WANT TO BUY A HOUSE AND EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO HELP YOU AND DIRECTED YOU TO A PLACE AND EVEN TNE MAN FROM THE BUS STOP TOOK HIS TIME TO TAKE YOU TO A HOUSE THAT MAY BE FOR SALE AGAIN IN ORDER TO HELP YOU! PEOPLE IN BULGARIA WOULD WELCOME YOU AT HOME AND WOULD SHARE EVEN THE LITTLE FOOD THEY MIGHT HAVE WITH STRANGERS! WE LIFE IN 21ST CENTURY,YOU COULD TAKE OUT YOUR PHONE AND USE A TRANSLATION APP FOR REAL CONVERSATION INSTEAD OF PRESENTING TNE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO IN THIS WAY TO PEOPLE WHO WATCH YOUR VIDEO AND DON'T UNDERSTAND BULGARIAN!
@@lucasbarbosa3335 stfu he/she/they is/are angry because this man offended our country and made fun of it while the nice Bulgarian people were trying to help him he laughed at them and he is now making money because of that
I like Kurts vidoes, but this video surprised me in that he didn’t think hmm maybe they don’t understand me. The place looks cool, as well as the people, I didn’t take any negativity from it. Everywhere has its nice people and not so nice people, people who don’t realise this are the ignorant ones. 👍🏻
Hello from Bulgaria! I really aprreaciate your interest in our country, you are very kind i love watching your videos. Conversations are hilarious, our old generation does not speak English at all or at very begginer level. Altrought you got scammed by the taxi driver, bus ticket to Dobrich is only 5 bulgarian leva, he charged you 40 leva. Next time visiting our country you have to be very careful tho, taxi drivers are always ready for foreigners so they can get some more money. Altrough we are nice people! :D In the village they could not understand what you wanted, they thought you want to buy a house and were trying to lead you to the mayor. Next time use google translator :D .
LMAO THE OLD GUY ON THE BENCH You came up to him and tried explaining that you have a camera and wanted "photo camera yes?". And the dude went "What am i gonna do with the damn camera!?". Love how the whole village tried to sell you some house when you just wanted to take a peek inside one. True bulgarians. I love my people.
Hahahaaha maaan, we don't remember when we laughed so loud recently 😂😂😂 Nobody ever understood that you want to enter their homes... when the first one thought you want to buy land and build up your own house, then everyone else thought the same and they were trying to figure this out for you 😅😅It's so funny to watch Bulgarian people from small villages trying to speak to foreigners! Thanks for that video, much appreciated!! :D
Just thought it would be good to inform you that varna is a city and it has population of 346 766 people. Also these people lived While the Communist Party ruled and therefore they only know Bulgarian and Russian, not all people in the world need to know English to make it easier for you.
this is pure gold. I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. The miscommunication and assumption almost led things to Chudomirian(Bulgarian satiric writer ) dimensions. What a cigoinish situation :
This video popped up in my recommended. I watched as much as I could but the amount of ignorance is astounding. You’re entitled to your opinion on our Bulgarian villages and people but it’s highly irresponsible and disheartening for you to choose to title most of your Bulgarian videos with such negative word choices created a negative narrative “Don’t visit this Bulgarian village” smh. At least educate yourself next time and learn the language a bit more so you’re able to communicate with villagers. No one is obligated to let you in anywhere.. after all, you’re a stranger with a camera. You walk around hard working people and just expect shit, where does that work anywhere? LOL!! We have one of this most hospitable people in the world but you need to do your due diligence sir. Have some respect and be realistic.. it’ll work out better in your favor if you choose to visit Bulgaria again. Bless ❤️

I live in Bulgaria for 2 years and I'm from Portugal. I met my girlfriend from Veliko Tarnovo also around 2 years ago and I can guarantee Bulgarians are one of the friendliest and most welcoming people once you get to know them.
Hello friend, I am very happy that you are visiting my country, but without an interpreter you have no chance. In the villages 99% of the people do not speak a foreign language and it is a bit silly to walk like that 😂 everyone thinks you want to buy a property somewhere ...
Yes, Bulgarian people wouldn't let a random tourist in their house what a surprise.I am a Bulgarian living in a German village and no german has let me randomly go in their house so far.
Thank you for your videos, they are quite entertaining! One advice: When you visit small rular areas like villages, always bring someone who knows the language with you so you can communicate with the people! Not all people are friendly to try to help even under bad communication circumstances!
Fun fact: Donkeys are the best guards for sheep. They indiscriminately kill coyotes. Sometimes for fun. So if one seems aggressive, yeah, probably best to leave it alone.
hahahah dude u should never listen to those people they're mostly scammers, taxi drivers are usually low lifes XD, use the public transport unless u shake on the price
Hi,I,m Italian but living in Bulgaria,the problem was that the people's think you want buy house in their village,they didn't understand you want just visit their house and see how they live. The first man recommends you to go to municipality for more information about house for sale ahaha.
I genuinely don't understand why westerners come to live here like we literally study to get the fuck out of here and immigrate to the west... I just don't get it
@@bakadoge5565 Probably remote work? Or high end jobs? For instance I work in IT for a good salary (in Romania, but I suppose Bulgaria is similar), and there are Italian and French guys that moved to Romania and work at the same company, because salaries in IT are similar to western Europe but prices are way lower for rent and stuff like that.
Kurt, What will be happen if I come to German village just to walking.On the 5-th minute will come the Police to ask: "What are you doing here, who are you, why you are in Germany...... My question is: Why people do not visit this village?The people from village are bad?Some body scam you?Or what? Bulgarian nation and German is too different. For example if you want to go visit your grandparents in Germany- Before you go you must make appointment. When I was small kid whit my sister when staying all summer WITHOUT APPOINTMENT to my grandparents
My man,they just understand that you are looking to buy a house.Not to get in and took a picture. Just language barrier. When you asking whether to get inside,they are thinking you are asking whether this house is for sale. That’s why they said to you no. Because house is not for sale.
Bro I am crying as Im laughing🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 You wanted to simply check out the village, but all the people u met in the village thought u wanted to buy a house...😂😂😂
Oh, Jeez..... :DDDDD it is tragicomedy to watch. I am lithuanian, but studied on Erasmus in Bulgaria before two years. When I remember my first month in Bulgaria, when I didn’t knew the basics of bulgarian language- the best thing that I get along very good with bulgarians who guided me to smaller towns of Bulgaria where people don’t speak english. It is very nice to go with natives and be sure that you understand something, and see a lot of interesting things, village people hospitality, otherwise, it would be very very tragicomical and uncomfortable, like in your situation😅. Bulgarians are VERY friendly people and this video not the best to represent that. Although- you are very brave, that you came to random bulgarian village with no fear of miscommunication because of language barriers :DD :)
No one undertands you. You told the myou want to see the village and they thaught you want to see the villas. And the man with the red shirt was like ,,This one is for sale".
I can't believe I saw this video today. Make me laughing like a crazy man. The taxi driver was phenomenall :)))) Im proud Bulgarian who love to see this expose... Love it. Keep the good work KURT
I really enjoyed this vid! Even though there were some frustrations with the language barrier it’s nice to see this side of Bulgaria. I like wandering through rural areas like this. I’m originally from bulgaria, reminds me of my grandmas village. Hope you enjoyed bulgaria! They thought you wanted to buy a house lol 😂
Hey, Bulgarian here! And I'm a Varna native at that too. This is so funny, I haven't laughed so hard in a looong, long time. But this is how people live in the outskirts - it is so poor in most villages, they live a chill life and grow food or do farming (of sorts). They're friendly but private too and privacy is something to be respected throughout the country especially amongst the elderly, because of the amount of crime and there are also a lot of robberies either from the gypsies or from other villagers, that's why they behave the way they did (if it ain't as obvious as it looks). Of course this is not manifested in the media and if you don't contact a local that can speak basic English you'll have your hands full haha :D
Where are the Bulgarians? You went in a Gypsy taxi to a Gypsy village. Great, but why state Bulgarians live like this? :( I'd love to see the same video made with you trying to enter German villagers houses.
There were bulgarian people in the video too. Even if there were gypsies they all live in one village so I don't see a problem. And some bulgarians do in fact live like this, let's not sugarcoat it. Poverty is everywhere in the country as soon as you get out of the cities and we can all thank our government for that situation
@@yochibambii Poverty? Is anyone hungry here? Why is the government to blame, everyone is free now to start working and become filthy rich. Maybe if they stopped sitting around yearning for the government to guide them like pre-1990 they wouldn't be "poor"
@@albaniantruffles This is probably the dumbest thing I've heard. Maybe you won't understand and that's okay, I'm not gonna blame you. I'm not saying that everywhere is EXTREME poverty. I'm saying is it doesn't matter if you work hard or no because things are long and hard to explain. You can't be "filthy rich" when your country is considered one of the poorest once probably in the whole continent. And there's a reason for that. There's also a reason for so many people to immigrate and work outside in other countries not because they like it and wanna be "filthy rich" but because they can't find a better opportunity or just want to help their families with money. The minimal (I think it's called "wage" in english but I'm not sure) is far from satisfying and far from enough to feed a whole family, pay taxes and be able to live properly. Unless you work in a high position with something like computers or something else like this you won't. We're literally considered Europe's "third-world" country not for no reason. It's not said by me. You can literally check out articles online. The reason are not the people because so many are working hard and it still may not be enough to help your family. That's why immigration is a thing right? Yes people can get money to live in a way but they some of them have to worry what they're gonna give to their kids at school like lunch money every day, pay for their excursions, books, pens, others school suplies, etc. Some of them are raised by a single parrent for example. I was mostly raised only by my mother and the state we've been in the past is not because she didn't work but because the money just simply weren't enough. I don't wanna go into detail with everything since it's the internet so I'll just leave it like this. But this argument that the people are sitting around and not doing anything is false. The government is to blame for the extreme corruption and embarassment it puts people through for the past years that's why there will be elections soon. And I don't think talking about it more will be a good idea because this comment itself is already too long but yeah. That's just how things are. Unless you live here and hear people's stories and the way most people aside from the rich live then you just don't understand. Have a good day :)
@@yochibambii I dont see many people getting off their asses and working hard at all, it is sad :( If if it's so bad then they can go work abroad, they dont, they prefer sitting in self inflicted "poverty" . They choose to live like this and blame someone else, the government, the gypsies, the EU... always someone else's fault. As you say, they can work abroad if there's really no opportunities in Bulgaria. Nothing is stopping these people from improving their living standards, but... they dont. Oh wait... they go to protests sometimes right?
@@albaniantruffles Who's blaming gypsies tho? What do they have in fault? I don't know what you see man, but I see that the majority of people go to work every day. At least that's what I see. So you're telling me people CHOOSE to be POOR ... No one is blaming the EU for this, this is the government's fault, don't know what EU have to do with this? And of course people go abroad because they don't have a choice. Some of them say they want to go back and work here but they can't get the same payment and opportunities. That's just the reality. What's a self inflicted poverty if your minimal wage can barely cover your taxes let alone anything else. Minimal wage in Romania - 446€, minimal wage in Portugal - 700€, minimal wage in Slovakia - 500€, minimal wage in Greece - 750€, and in Bulgaria - 286€. I mean I don't know if people really choose how much they wanna get paid then yes I will agree that it's self inflicted poverty. But that's not the case here. The government doesn't work for the interest of the country and the people of it but for the outside interests and most of the time the people receive nothing in return. The only thing the government does is get millions from eurofunds and steal them for YEARS without doing something for the country and lately even people outside can see the corruption that's causing the rottening of the country and it's embarassing but true. So gypsies, EU or whatever else have nothing in common with this. People have been protesting for 200+ days hoping the government to fall. The reason people last summer were chanting some well known names from the EU comission was because they have connections and ties to our prime minister who's known to be corrupt in any way possible and is known in probably the whole press in Europe as the "cowboy of Europe". Let's not forget the government's love for insulting their OWN people all the time. The whole Covid crisis here was a total MESS and little to no people received actual help from it, they only try to use the media that they buy to spread propaganda about how "generous" they are and how they are "helping" even tho there were cases of people saying again and again that they DIDN'T receive anything. The situation with the vaccines is also chaotic. So yes the government is at fault, that's why people want them down and will get rid of them eventually because they want to see young people with ideas and qualifications rule this country and work for it. Again, we'll see what happens with the elections soon.
crazy Kurt 😄how do you like walking around Bulgarian villages, kudos to you, it's easier for me to watch you walk around the village from bed, and people have no idea what you want🤣🤣 I keep saying you're crazy😆💪
"can I come in to film your poverty and show it to everybody, so I can make some money? NO?" Mate, you're so disrespectful! I won't be watching any more of your videos.
Like a spoiled, rich, little German boy used to getting anything he wants. Those people thought you were nuts, like most of the rest of us who saw the way you were acting. Good grief.
Don`t get me wrong but it was all your fault. You can`t just take a taxi to somewhere and expect people who not knowing you, while being an unknown foreigner to them and most of those people couldn`t catch a single word of language you spoke, to let you in just like that. It`s a village after all. Small so it presumable that many of them aren`t much educated, so of course don`t know English. I`ve been in german village and I know how they look and feels like, but here is different. You could made a little research in advance. Most of them thought you have intension to buy their houses actually so they told you "NO". You had to choose a bigger village and more civilized one instead of this with less than 50 people population. I`m from Dobrich and this is the first time I`ve ever heard of this small village so it makes clear how odd and wrong your choice was at first place. At least couldn`t you used your Google Translator. I have to say it would be a way more easier to you if you ask a bulgarian friend or someone take you to some village. He would find neighbours or something that may be OK with the idea of some stranger get into their homes and make video of their homes and private belongings to spread it into TH-cam. Of course it makes a good impression if you first ask for permission before you get them and their properties on your video too, just saying from moral views, not to mention the law says that not only in Bulgaria, in many countries. Bulgarians hospitality is not an invitation for misappropriation you must know. You may had been just that guy wanted to show off on TH-cam with "Look at me I`m discovering new cultures" but your definitely not resourceful or smart in your approach, that`s for sure. And have you even noticed how poor all those people in the village live! In most small villages are like that and most of them may feel ashamed or humiliated when you exposing out fact that many other strangers in internet, that will maybe connect simply as their financial situation to whole bulgarian population and culture. Bulgarians are proud and your intensions may were different but I find your insolent behavior quite offensive. I doubt if this happened to you in your home unexpected without any earlier notifications you would just take some unknown man in your house even if you understood him though. So you may change your topic to "I APOLOGIZE to this village and agressive dog and donkey". And one more thing about English language, those people may not speak or understand it but they really tried to help you to buy a house because that`s what they understood comparing to not small part of educated germans speaking and understanding perfectly English but completely refuse of speaking in it on their territory even when it`s necessary unless it`s emergency.
Kurt, there is a phrase in Bulgarian for people like you in that village - "izpadnal germanets". Roughly translated as a forsaken German soldier (from the wars). It was a fun experience, but there was a major misalignment between you and these village folk. They thought you were a land trader, a water inspector and what not. Btw this Angel taxi driver really took you for a ride (pun intended) - he was going to charge 40lv to Dobrich, but took you half the way there for 45lv to that village. Not surprising, but at least he showed you rakia distillery so at least you hade some interesting experience.
Man, the language barrier is the ONLY problem! Every person in a bulgarian village will let you to take a look inside the house and he will also feed you with some bulgarian dishes. Everybody though you were there to buy a house. Actually bulgarian people in bulgarian villages are very kind😄
Hi Kurt. I just saw your video and am proud of your effort. Next time you come to Bulgaria, you can give me a ping if you want to have a proper translator. I can also suggest alot of places that are spectacular. But in general. great job and loved the content. ;) And also, most of them tought you wanted to buy a hosue and thus refered to the mayor of the village "kmeta". The language barrier was too much. But if that was passed, you coud have gotten what you wanted from them gladly. Even a place to rest, traditional meals and a night stay.
When B&B would bring Vodka to that poor old, bearly alive, radiation breathing, gem of a man, whose eyeballs wanted to fall out from delirium tremens my heart would break and smile at the same time.
I find the mission of "getting into a home" here very weird and culturally insensitive. This is where people live, it's not an amusement park... Imagine a tourist coming to a small German village, snooping around and trying to get into people's house, someone probably would have called the Polizei...
They are not very open ,germans, as balkan people, he probably went to many houses in bulgaria he got used to it 😂 here when u met someone u get invited immediately to their house
That taxi driver lied. Buses to Dobrich run more frequently than every two hours. Plus, a bus ticket to Dobrich costs a maximum of 15 leva. I'm glad I watched this video. I'm going to avoid taxis at all costs. Besides, I would never get into a car with such an aggressive driver who asks, 'Why are you going to the bus station?' I'll tell you one golden rule: You should never tell taxi drivers the reason why you are going somewhere!
This is so funny when you know both languages! :D Without knowing you shot a comedy. :D They all are trying to be helpful and find you a house to buy. :D
The country side of Bulgaria is very beautiful. In my last visit I used Google translation and it worked well. I am able to order some fish and salad in a small restaurant, the meal was tasty and not expensive.
Why would someone let a stranger in his house? I’m Canadian. If someone knocked on my door and asked to come in my home, I certainly would not let them in.
Hahaha! Dying here of laughing. The Bulgarian village man with the red shirt thought that he could handle a bit of English while in the mean time he doesn't understand sh.t, so he was thinking that you want to buy land and he told you that the land next to his place is for sale but hes wasn't. He didn't know at all that you were asking him to take a look inside his house. He was sending you to the mayor for more info ;) Total misunderstanding there :)

Can you imagine if a Bulgarian man who didn't speak your language came to your house and wanted to look around inside?
Apparently not perhaps hes been vlogging so much he forgot these arent actors window dressing and set pieces for his channel they are real people.
Dude ikr.. thats the first thing I was thinking.. like I live in Maine (usa) a bum fuck tiny town, and you go to an old fishing village and ask to look inside someone's house.. good luck.. and walking around people's vehicles like that.. guaranteed trouble.
🤣🤣🤣 OMG so true 👍 good one
@@skiibo5289 It's really different though.
It's not the U.S. and the guy very very obviously looks like a tourist in some lost Bulgarian farm. It's not like your random Josh in the US asking you to come into your house for no reason. They're not in the city and the guy visiting doesn't look poor or suspicious.
This was exactly what I was thinking this man is soooo ignorant.
I have been to Bulgaria twice, man I fell in love with that country, way better than I expected.
The funny thing is that the taxi driver who is talking about gypsies as “they” is also a gypsy. In Bulgaria there varieties of gypsies that can be grouped according to the language they speak or religion they practice. There are gypsies who are visibly from gypsy background but will vehemently deny that. Those are the types who are the quickest to bring up the subject of gypsies so that they can refer to them as “they”. That’s what this taxi driver who grossly overcharged and cheated Kurt is doing.😀
Omg I'm really mad about this video. I have seen most of your videos about Bulgaria and I loved them a lot... but this one really made me angry. First you go to a village where nobody speak in English because the people are veery old so most of them speak only Bulgarian and Russian because of the comunism...
The first guy with the red shirt is a gypsy and the poor man does not understand a single word ,he was trying to help you really bad... he even send you to the mayor.
The rest of the people were very kind and tried to help you too.
The old guy with the knife is an typical Bulgarian grandpa that is usually very intelligent and can fix everything in the house and you can always see him with an axe because he is cutting trees in the yard or with a knife because he is fixing something... so somebody called him and he got out really fast wanting to help and forgot about the knife, he gave you his hand,he was reaaaaaaaaly kind even that he doesn't understand a single word . He was thinking that you were looking to buy a house and he even let you in and told you that if you want to see youbare welcome,I'm sure that he would even make you eat and drink rakia with him or he wold be ofended... That's how bulgarian hospitality is. But tha fact you go to a place without knowing a fuck about the village wtf did you expect????? Why don't you go with aome bulgarian friend from the city that speaks English and ask him to translate??? It's not so difficult. They are just great people judged because they don't speak the language that you want.
Imagine me going to Germany speaking in Bulgarian only saying that the germans are racists because they don't understand me ,they don't help me,they don't give me a good work because i could understand only bulgarian costommers(I think its normal because if you can't speak the language you can't understand what do you have to do)
I don't have anything else to say.
Well said. I dont speak the lanaguage, although would TRY to. I would love to go a village like this for an experience without shoving a camera in their faces.
He does this in legit every country and its super frustrating
THIS.
I think I agree with your comment. I think the idea that someone can go to some village in a foreign country, doesn't speak their language,and also just expecting people to invite you in their houses is quite disrespectful..... This guy would never do that in German, it's a Western mentality to romanticise poverty. I think it's very intrusive...and no one ever goes to Germany and expects people to just let them take pictures of their home.
Relax, buddy, he is just trying to get more views, following the trend in TH-cam - provocative title and thumbnail. I think he is actually quite positive about Bulgaria in general.
aaah bulgarian taxi drivers.... scam at its finest
Not really 45 leva/22euro for a 52km taxi ride is almost nothing.
@@venpasa8457 A bus from Varna to Dobrich is 5 leva, he got scammed hard
@@MrZippy93 A bus is cheap yes but a taxi is not. The driver told him that the taxi drive to the stop plus the bus price would cost him. 15 leva. but he also told him will drive him himself there for 45. He had all the information and was free to choose how is this a scam? Its not like the price was hidden from him or he was lied to.
@@venpasa8457 a taxi should cost 3-4 Lev to the bus station, + 5 Lev is 9 Lev...that's how
@@MrZippy93 3-4 leva for a taxi ride seems too cheap nowadays. even in small cities that have a a single city-wide charge for any point within it costs 3leva. Sofia for example can cost you 5-7 leva and more for the distance he traveled. I'm guessing Varna is not a lot cheaper.
You have a bad habit of saying "Yes" when you don't understand what they are saying to you. Can't blame them when you're the one agreeing to things.
Man,i am bulgarian and had so much fun with that video.the speaking barrier got you in a loophole 👌👌😀😀😀.made my day,thanks.
Цялото село тръгда да му търси имот хахаха
The turning point was at the very beginning when you told the guy with the red shirt that you’re there to have a look at the VILLAGE. Since he didn’t speak any English he just assumed that you’re looking to buy land to build your VILLA on so naturally he said “no, my land is not for sale I live here”😂 and as a typical village somehow just a moment later the word had spread and everyone else was convinced you’re there to buy land haha

The people from the village basically thought you want to buy their property 😅
Old Bulgarians are really welcoming and friendly warm people just language barrier made your visit awkward, you should try it with a guide or something that can get you in touch with the locals
Dear Kurt I just watched your video I would like to share couple things with you. First Bulgarians specially in small villages like that are the very welcoming people, friendly and warm hearted. If you ask them I can guarantee that they can help you with food, drinks and even to find you place to stay overnight. Its not true they refused to let them in their houses, simply because they did not understand you. Work on your Bulgarian my friend. Also there are dozens mobile apps, that can help you with translation or maybe find someone local to help you.
Second for many years foreigners are visiting small villages like this one to buy a land or house and to live there (beautiful nature and cheap cost of life) If you pay attention all people from the video were talking to you and wanted to help you, but they were confused that you are looking to buy a house there not to look inside for your video blog. They were confused and since you were not able properly to ask them they assumed you want to get a house there. As you can see most of them are elderly people living very poor life. Do you think that if I visit small village in Germany and start asking random people to look inside their houses speaking Bulgarian they will let me ? And what would be their reaction ? Do you think anyone would do some extra effort and try to help me even without understanding me ?
I had a chance to travel quite few countries on Europe and I know how I was treated as a foreigner and Bulgarian, even though these countries are labelled as democracy and civilized.
For the taxi and most of the services in public sector in Bulgaria I have no comment... unfortunately we are far far away from proper customer service. I am Bulgarian and still I am disappointed with bad experiences.
Try to be prepared little bit more next time, you can always print at home some sheets with the questions you want to ask in Bulgarian or use the google translation.
At the end Bulgaria is a lovely place, very beautiful and amazing as long as you have someone to help you understand our lifestyle and mentality. Stay safe and wish you all the best.
Ok to get this clear. I read a lot of comments where people assume that kurt is from germany. He said one time earlier that he is south african and he is judst saying that he is german to get things easier in counries where the people might not know south africa, which is offensive to bulgarians cause bulgaria is a full mrmber of the european union and the young people there are well educated. Kurt can say a few things in german and i guess his grandfather was german but his father and his mother where both born and raised in south africa. I wrote this long comment because i am german and some people are offending kurt and germany. But kurt isn't able to represent germans in my opinion because we are always polite, friendly and respectful to other people and cultures we don't know.
Bullshit
@rgboss1337 you are nice and polite unless you have to speak english to a foreigner. Then you go back to the 1930s
I'm from Pazardzhik and 15 km from Pazardzhik, there is a beautiful Mine. The village's called Tsar Asen. I really suggest you to go there and see how beautiful it is. But the problem is that it's really far from Varna... I also suggest you to go to Plovdiv, it's the second biggest city in Bulgaria and it's really wonderful. I'm pretty sure at 99%, that the most of people there will understand English and help you out with whatever you need!
Im brom Bulgaria and they dont hide nothing but they just don't want to let a stranger in their house. Would i let somebody that cant even say 3 words on Germany with a camera in your house?

A simple case of a language barrier causing a lot of misunderstanding. The villagers are convinced that you're looking for a house to buy and point elsewhere while you feel they're not willing to let you inside. How about getting an offline translator app on your smartphone? This could definitely eliminate most of the confusing situations, it's worked great for me so far!
Anyhow, thank you for sharing your content and spicening the lives of us stuck at home - stay safe!

He was just like a greedy bastard straight off the bat, he did not have a friendly or welcoming vibe from the beginning when he first got into the taxi. He’s not nice or friendly, he was just trying to act like that so he can make a quick buck off a foreigner😐 like the POS he is. And Kurt isn’t from the US , he’s literally South African. And idk what kind of ideology that is to think that just bc someone is from somewhere else, that it makes it okay to scam them and charge them 5x-10x times the amount they should’ve been paying. That shit is not okay regardless if hes “trying to feed his family” like everyone needs money to feed themselves, it doesn’t make it okay to scam someone bc you know that they don’t know the actual price it’s suppose to be. Just greed & ignorance

Kurt was so much more humble back then, but also less confident. It's interesting to see from today's perspective
I have only just started watching his videos from the oldest ones - what is he like now ?
A taxi from the Cathedral in Varna to the bus station in Varna is 3-4 leva max. And a bus ticket from Varna to Dobrich is 5 leva. I guess you paid 45 for a different kind of experience but next time try to haggle a bit for the price. That would also be fun.
While a bus ride is fairly cheap a taxi ride for that distance would cost him around what he paid.
@@venpasa8457 , the distance from the taxi stop next to the cathedral to the bus station is just 1,8 kilometers long. Just checked on Google Earth with the measurement tool. This means no more than 3 Leva in the worst case including waiting on the traffic stops.
Also, Debrene is located at the middle BETWEEN Varna and Dobrich, however, the taxi driver decided to keep that in secret, and instead insisted that he will will charge an extra 5 Leva on top of the negotiated 40 Leva to go to Debrene. What a liar.

Altrought you got scammed by the taxi driver, bus ticket to Dobrich is only 5 bulgarian leva, he charged you 40 leva. Next time visiting our country you have to be very careful tho, taxi drivers are always ready for foreigners so they can get some more money.

You came up to him and tried explaining that you have a camera and wanted "photo camera yes?". And the dude went "What am i gonna do with the damn camera!?". Love how the whole village tried to sell you some house when you just wanted to take a peek inside one. True bulgarians. I love my people.
Hahahaaha maaan, we don't remember when we laughed so loud recently 😂😂😂 Nobody ever understood that you want to enter their homes... when the first one thought you want to buy land and build up your own house, then everyone else thought the same and they were trying to figure this out for you 😅😅It's so funny to watch Bulgarian people from small villages trying to speak to foreigners! Thanks for that video, much appreciated!! :D
Just thought it would be good to inform you that varna is a city and it has population of 346 766 people. Also these people lived While the Communist Party ruled and therefore they only know Bulgarian and Russian, not all people in the world need to know English to make it easier for you.

this is pure gold. I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. The miscommunication and assumption almost led things to Chudomirian(Bulgarian satiric writer ) dimensions. What a cigoinish situation :
The man was under the impression you wanted to buy a house there and he was telling you how to find one
This video popped up in my recommended. I watched as much as I could but the amount of ignorance is astounding. You’re entitled to your opinion on our Bulgarian villages and people but it’s highly irresponsible and disheartening for you to choose to title most of your Bulgarian videos with such negative word choices created a negative narrative “Don’t visit this Bulgarian village” smh. At least educate yourself next time and learn the language a bit more so you’re able to communicate with villagers. No one is obligated to let you in anywhere.. after all, you’re a stranger with a camera. You walk around hard working people and just expect shit, where does that work anywhere? LOL!! We have one of this most hospitable people in the world but you need to do your due diligence sir. Have some respect and be realistic.. it’ll work out better in your favor if you choose to visit Bulgaria again. Bless ❤️

Thank you for your videos, they are quite entertaining!
One advice: When you visit small rular areas like villages, always bring someone who knows the language with you so you can communicate with the people!
Not all people are friendly to try to help even under bad communication circumstances!
Fun fact: Donkeys are the best guards for sheep. They indiscriminately kill coyotes. Sometimes for fun.

Kurt,
What will be happen if I come to German village just to walking.On the 5-th minute will come the Police to ask: "What are you doing here, who are you, why you are in Germany......
My question is: Why people do not visit this village?The people from village are bad?Some body scam you?Or what?
Bulgarian nation and German is too different.
For example if you want to go visit your grandparents in Germany- Before you go you must make appointment.
When I was small kid whit my sister when staying all summer WITHOUT APPOINTMENT to my grandparents
My man,they just understand that you are looking to buy a house.Not to get in and took a picture.
Just language barrier.
When you asking whether to get inside,they are thinking you are asking whether this house is for sale.
That’s why they said to you no.
Because house is not for sale.
I really love your videos Kurt because you deep into any country you visit not the regular cities, that's adventure
Bro I am crying as Im laughing🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 You wanted to simply check out the village, but all the people u met in the village thought u wanted to buy a house...😂😂😂
Oh, Jeez..... :DDDDD it is tragicomedy to watch.
I am lithuanian, but studied on Erasmus in Bulgaria before two years. When I remember my first month in Bulgaria, when I didn’t knew the basics of bulgarian language- the best thing that I get along very good with bulgarians who guided me to smaller towns of Bulgaria where people don’t speak english. It is very nice to go with natives and be sure that you understand something, and see a lot of interesting things, village people hospitality, otherwise, it would be very very tragicomical and uncomfortable, like in your situation😅.
Bulgarians are VERY friendly people and
this video not the best to represent that.

I’m originally from bulgaria, reminds me of my grandmas village. Hope you enjoyed bulgaria! They thought you wanted to buy a house lol 😂
lol man all of the people you met thought u want to buy a house in the village. They started searching for a person to sell u a house.
Hey, Bulgarian here! And I'm a Varna native at that too.
This is so funny, I haven't laughed so hard in a looong, long time.
But this is how people live in the outskirts - it is so poor in most villages, they live a chill life and grow food or do farming (of sorts).
They're friendly but private too and privacy is something to be respected throughout the country especially amongst the elderly, because of the amount of crime and there are also a lot of robberies either from the gypsies or from other villagers, that's why they behave the way they did (if it ain't as obvious as it looks).
Of course this is not manifested in the media and if you don't contact a local that can speak basic English you'll have your hands full haha :D
Awesome! Thanks for the cool comment!
I started on your recent uploads. You can see the growth when you watch the older videos. Some of the best content

Where are the Bulgarians? You went in a Gypsy taxi to a Gypsy village. Great, but why state Bulgarians live like this? :(
I'd love to see the same video made with you trying to enter German villagers houses.
There were bulgarian people in the video too. Even if there were gypsies they all live in one village so I don't see a problem. And some bulgarians do in fact live like this, let's not sugarcoat it. Poverty is everywhere in the country as soon as you get out of the cities and we can all thank our government for that situation
@@yochibambii Poverty? Is anyone hungry here? Why is the government to blame, everyone is free now to start working and become filthy rich. Maybe if they stopped sitting around yearning for the government to guide them like pre-1990 they wouldn't be "poor"
@@albaniantruffles This is probably the dumbest thing I've heard. Maybe you won't understand and that's okay, I'm not gonna blame you. I'm not saying that everywhere is EXTREME poverty. I'm saying is it doesn't matter if you work hard or no because things are long and hard to explain. You can't be "filthy rich" when your country is considered one of the poorest once probably in the whole continent. And there's a reason for that. There's also a reason for so many people to immigrate and work outside in other countries not because they like it and wanna be "filthy rich" but because they can't find a better opportunity or just want to help their families with money. The minimal (I think it's called "wage" in english but I'm not sure) is far from satisfying and far from enough to feed a whole family, pay taxes and be able to live properly. Unless you work in a high position with something like computers or something else like this you won't. We're literally considered Europe's "third-world" country not for no reason. It's not said by me. You can literally check out articles online. The reason are not the people because so many are working hard and it still may not be enough to help your family. That's why immigration is a thing right? Yes people can get money to live in a way but they some of them have to worry what they're gonna give to their kids at school like lunch money every day, pay for their excursions, books, pens, others school suplies, etc. Some of them are raised by a single parrent for example. I was mostly raised only by my mother and the state we've been in the past is not because she didn't work but because the money just simply weren't enough. I don't wanna go into detail with everything since it's the internet so I'll just leave it like this. But this argument that the people are sitting around and not doing anything is false. The government is to blame for the extreme corruption and embarassment it puts people through for the past years that's why there will be elections soon. And I don't think talking about it more will be a good idea because this comment itself is already too long but yeah. That's just how things are. Unless you live here and hear people's stories and the way most people aside from the rich live then you just don't understand. Have a good day :)
@@yochibambii I dont see many people getting off their asses and working hard at all, it is sad :( If if it's so bad then they can go work abroad, they dont, they prefer sitting in self inflicted "poverty" . They choose to live like this and blame someone else, the government, the gypsies, the EU... always someone else's fault. As you say, they can work abroad if there's really no opportunities in Bulgaria. Nothing is stopping these people from improving their living standards, but... they dont. Oh wait... they go to protests sometimes right?
@@albaniantruffles Who's blaming gypsies tho? What do they have in fault? I don't know what you see man, but I see that the majority of people go to work every day. At least that's what I see. So you're telling me people CHOOSE to be POOR ... No one is blaming the EU for this, this is the government's fault, don't know what EU have to do with this? And of course people go abroad because they don't have a choice. Some of them say they want to go back and work here but they can't get the same payment and opportunities. That's just the reality. What's a self inflicted poverty if your minimal wage can barely cover your taxes let alone anything else. Minimal wage in Romania - 446€, minimal wage in Portugal - 700€, minimal wage in Slovakia - 500€, minimal wage in Greece - 750€, and in Bulgaria - 286€. I mean I don't know if people really choose how much they wanna get paid then yes I will agree that it's self inflicted poverty. But that's not the case here. The government doesn't work for the interest of the country and the people of it but for the outside interests and most of the time the people receive nothing in return. The only thing the government does is get millions from eurofunds and steal them for YEARS without doing something for the country and lately even people outside can see the corruption that's causing the rottening of the country and it's embarassing but true. So gypsies, EU or whatever else have nothing in common with this. People have been protesting for 200+ days hoping the government to fall. The reason people last summer were chanting some well known names from the EU comission was because they have connections and ties to our prime minister who's known to be corrupt in any way possible and is known in probably the whole press in Europe as the "cowboy of Europe". Let's not forget the government's love for insulting their OWN people all the time. The whole Covid crisis here was a total MESS and little to no people received actual help from it, they only try to use the media that they buy to spread propaganda about how "generous" they are and how they are "helping" even tho there were cases of people saying again and again that they DIDN'T receive anything. The situation with the vaccines is also chaotic. So yes the government is at fault, that's why people want them down and will get rid of them eventually because they want to see young people with ideas and qualifications rule this country and work for it. Again, we'll see what happens with the elections soon.

crazy Kurt 😄how do you like walking around Bulgarian villages, kudos to you, it's easier for me to watch you walk around the village from bed, and people have no idea what you want🤣🤣 I keep saying you're crazy😆💪
I love these travel vlogs…you always find a local to show U around 👍🏾

"can I come in to film your poverty and show it to everybody, so I can make some money? NO?" Mate, you're so disrespectful! I won't be watching any more of your videos.
Chill bro
Ho fa ce ai
relax he did nothing
They would've even let him in if they understood
Like a spoiled, rich, little German boy used to getting anything he wants. Those people thought you were nuts, like most of the rest of us who saw the way you were acting. Good grief.
Don`t get me wrong but it was all your fault. You can`t just take a taxi to somewhere and expect people who not knowing you, while being an unknown foreigner to them and most of those people couldn`t catch a single word of language you spoke, to let you in just like that. It`s a village after all. Small so it presumable that many of them aren`t much educated, so of course don`t know English. I`ve been in german village and I know how they look and feels like, but here is different. You could made a little research in advance. Most of them thought you have intension to buy their houses actually so they told you "NO". You had to choose a bigger village and more civilized one instead of this with less than 50 people population. I`m from Dobrich and this is the first time I`ve ever heard of this small village so it makes clear how odd and wrong your choice was at first place. At least couldn`t you used your Google Translator. I have to say it would be a way more easier to you if you ask a bulgarian friend or someone take you to some village. He would find neighbours or something that may be OK with the idea of some stranger get into their homes and make video of their homes and private belongings to spread it into TH-cam. Of course it makes a good impression if you first ask for permission before you get them and their properties on your video too, just saying from moral views, not to mention the law says that not only in Bulgaria, in many countries. Bulgarians hospitality is not an invitation for misappropriation you must know. You may had been just that guy wanted to show off on TH-cam with "Look at me I`m discovering new cultures" but your definitely not
resourceful or smart in your approach, that`s for sure. And have you even noticed how poor all those people in the village live! In most small villages are like that and most of them may feel ashamed or humiliated when you exposing out fact that many other strangers in internet, that will maybe connect simply as their financial situation to whole bulgarian population and culture. Bulgarians are proud and your intensions may were different but I find your
insolent behavior quite offensive. I doubt if this happened to you in your home unexpected without any earlier notifications you would just take some unknown man in your house even if you understood him though. So you may change your topic to "I APOLOGIZE to this village and agressive dog and donkey". And one more thing about English language, those people may not speak or understand it but they really tried to help you to buy a house because that`s what they understood comparing to not small part of educated germans speaking and understanding perfectly English but completely refuse of speaking in it on their territory even when it`s necessary unless it`s emergency.
You are literally excusing the scammer lol
So happy found you bro greetings from Florida my friend
Possibly they remembered the last german that arrived uninvited…
Amazing vid! I can't say if it is as enjoyable for non-bulgarian speaking folks but I personally died laughing 😀 Keep up the great work!
Thank you Atanas 🙏
What a journey 😍
Hahah that taxi driver definitely knows no language barriers
This taxi driver is f*cking scammer. If you Come to Bulgaria never trust these scumbags. He got way, WAY much over the price of the bus.
@@ivanpetrov4917 No shit. Its obvious that the guy cant bargain for shit.
@@ivanpetrov4917 He might have gotten way over the Bus price. But he payed about what it was worth for a taxi ride for that distance.
XD lol dude the moment he told u he is leaving to there u should immediately leave this person's car XD
The Lada with the spoiler was the highlight for me Kurt🤣
Kurt, there is a phrase in Bulgarian for people like you in that village - "izpadnal germanets". Roughly translated as a forsaken German soldier (from the wars). It was a fun experience, but there was a major misalignment between you and these village folk. They thought you were a land trader, a water inspector and what not. Btw this Angel taxi driver really took you for a ride (pun intended) - he was going to charge 40lv to Dobrich, but took you half the way there for 45lv to that village. Not surprising, but at least he showed you rakia distillery so at least you hade some interesting experience.
Man, the language barrier is the ONLY problem! Every person in a bulgarian village will let you to take a look inside the house and he will also feed you with some bulgarian dishes. Everybody though you were there to buy a house. Actually bulgarian people in bulgarian villages are very kind😄
You need to have Mr Bald and Bankrupt with you to communicate with them!!
Mr. Bald would hire a car not to be scammed.

Its not like they would not let you in lol, they simply do not understand you. They thought you were trying to buy.
Hi Kurt. I just saw your video and am proud of your effort. Next time you come to Bulgaria, you can give me a ping if you want to have a proper translator. I can also suggest alot of places that are spectacular. But in general. great job and loved the content. ;) And also, most of them tought you wanted to buy a hosue and thus refered to the mayor of the village "kmeta". The language barrier was too much. But if that was passed, you coud have gotten what you wanted from them gladly. Even a place to rest, traditional meals and a night stay.
Bald and Bankrupt usually always gets invited in people's homes 🏡 And I remember that he'd revisit the old man bringing gifts of interest. 🥂🍾👍🏽
When B&B would bring Vodka to that poor old, bearly alive, radiation breathing, gem of a man, whose eyeballs wanted to fall out from delirium tremens my heart would break and smile at the same time.
The old LADA with the rear spoiler is the ultimate!
At a top speed of 60km/h you need that down force, or that will take off!😂😂😂
I find the mission of "getting into a home" here very weird and culturally insensitive. This is where people live, it's not an amusement park... Imagine a tourist coming to a small German village, snooping around and trying to get into people's house, someone probably would have called the Polizei...
They are not very open ,germans, as balkan people, he probably went to many houses in bulgaria he got used to it 😂 here when u met someone u get invited immediately to their house
He didn't ask them to get inside, they thought he want to buy a land and told him which plots are
for sale.
That taxi driver lied. Buses to Dobrich run more frequently than every two hours. Plus, a bus ticket to Dobrich costs a maximum of 15 leva. I'm glad I watched this video. I'm going to avoid taxis at all costs. Besides, I would never get into a car with such an aggressive driver who asks, 'Why are you going to the bus station?'
I'll tell you one golden rule: You should never tell taxi drivers the reason why you are going somewhere!
This is so funny when you know both languages! :D Without knowing you shot a comedy. :D They all are trying to be helpful and find you a house to buy. :D
"Without knowing you shot a comedy." That's good. : )
Love your video bro unedited brilliant love from pakistan
Thank you! 🙏
The country side of Bulgaria is very beautiful. In my last visit I used Google translation and it worked well. I am able to order some fish and salad in a small restaurant, the meal was tasty and not expensive.
On słabo zna angielski.
Bulgarian taxi drivers are such a talkative people
Why would someone let a stranger in his house? I’m Canadian. If someone knocked on my door and asked to come in my home, I certainly would not let them in.
You should change the title to "a weirdo trying to buy land" 🤣
All you needed to say was "обичам село" (obicham selo)
