On passing a house today I noticed that one had the mark of being judged to be a beautiful home. This award system was in place in the olden days of Bulgarian socialism where houses got a placard and certificate if their home was deemed to be a model home. In fact my own farmhouse in Skalitsa has such an award on its gate. Shame it doesn't still apply, but you will still see many placards still on walls and gates of older homes in Yambol and the surround.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.
