🤣 - happens to the best of us. I’m assuming you’re Bulgarian? Now that’s I place I want to explore. Fascinating history. I was reading about the Buzludzha Monument only the other day - mad design! A close friend is married to a Bulgarian too and I get snippets to current life there as she regularly travels back to visit family. Great scenery, national parks and bears too!

no, i'm australian, father was dutch/indonesian (technically my oma was half swiss too)

oh, i know of this weird thing but i never saw it, it's in a part of the countrty i only maybe passed through on a train one or two times, i think that is the route north from sofia out to varna, which i have done twice but never stopped anywhere except dobrich because my landlady of my place in varna lived there and i needed her to sign some document to get my registratsia lol

i miss bulgaria though... but it's turned into european hellscape in the last 10 years... when i first got there in late 2012 i was able to open a bank account easily, and the bank was just down the road and open 10am to 10pm 7 days a week!

last contact i had with said bank was in 2021 and they ate my wirex card because their ATMs give money before card, and wirex wouldn't send them a message certifying i was the card owner, it cost me 500 euros worth of ethereum at the time

other than that, trying to open a bank account, with bulgarian residence certificate, at 4 different bulgarian banks, was impossible, except for iCard, who are based in Varna where i was, but they gave me a card no problem, i needed it FOR AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

so, yeah, bulgaria was better, it's still better than serbia at this point, serbia decommissioned most of their rail system, bulgarians would burn down parliament if they canceled their trains
