The sun was out, but still a cold wind that blew and the scratchcard seller was out for business. This is a comon sight in Yambol's City centre where many passers by try their luck. The Bulgarians seem to like a little flutter on scratchcards judging by the amount of passers by who stop there. Notice the clear plastic wrapping round the legs to keep warm - Cheap and practical, again very much in the Bulgarian mould.
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.

Martin, the Thais are the same, a nation of gamblers! Mind you the seller wouldn't need the coat or plastic here!
