The situation in Romania is not very different from Bulgaria (corruption is present in all state institutions), I don't know if you've been watching TV, the last period has been quite tense in Romania since the annulment of the presidential elections and many other demonstrations in the capital (Bucharest), good thing I don't live there.
I can skip all that and try to see the beautiful part of the country, but also those countries that I want to explore, so Bulgaria is on my list and I will definitely go there, especially as we are now in Schengen.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yes, I watch the news and the presidential elections saga was something very interesting to me as I don't think something like that can happen here. I think corruption is less in Romania as your standard of living is approving better than here. So in Bulgaria, apart from the biggest cities, Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas... salaries are just shit. There is even a term "working poor", last stats are about 30% of those who work at a minimal salary, that is about 500 EUR at the moment, can't pay for basic things as utilities and good food. Another anomaly - food in Bulgaria is much more expensive than Germany, France, Spain, etc.
I guess it's ok as long as people are ok. Probably because we are too patient in general :)
So many beautiful place here, that's so true and the most of them are not by Black Sea ;) If you decide to plan something, I could share my experience, tag me, I'd love to add my pov :)
Let's enjoy the weekend now, cheers! :)
There's a lot to discuss about politics, standard of living and many other things, but these things sometimes bore me and sometimes annoy me.
You know, when you're alone against the system you have no chance to change anything, I don't like it either when I see so many state employees simply illiterate, I met these employees who didn't know how to use the computer, but what can I do ....
But let's look on the bright side and enjoy life, because sometimes it is too short.
When I will add blogs from Bulgaria I will definitely tag you, maybe you can give me some tips.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Exactly, very well said! :)
Probably in Romania too, in Bulgaria the common mind behind being on a state salary is "I don't get much but I work much, if at all." Perfect for lazy people without ambitions :D
Thank you and have a wonderful day as well, I'm already enjoying a sunny Sunday here :) A match for its name today, hehe
