I see this sight quite often as a Lada is the shop selling various fruit and vegetables including preserved gherkins and conserve on the bonnet a set of weighing scales to the left with rakia for sale just behind that. The owner wasn't trading for the last couple of weeks as it was too cold, but better weather over the last two days has brought him out again. This is set up in the middle of a set of apartment blocks. A free market is ever I saw one.
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.
