Looking around Yambol City and not only in the outskirts, you will see many homes that are seemingly in desperate need of repair. You may well ask why don't the owners do something about it? Well the answer is quite simple, you need money to fund repairs and most who own places like this are old and on a pension that barely feeds them. Such a shame that these once proud homes are no longer maintained, in my view there is something to be said about the old socialist ways that would not let this happen.
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.
