It was pretty obvious someone was at this Yambol home with this pair of sandals abandoned on the stairway entrance. If they were my size, I might have put them on and walked away.
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.

Baggage Lockers in Yambol's Billa Supermarket
A very neat array of baggage storage locker located in Yambol's Billa supermarket. Each week I visit there is another key missing from the lockers which means that locker is non-operational. Not quite sure why people want to steal a key that has no use other than to these lockers. However, the key is made of metal and we all know who goes around looking for metal to sell on.

Oh The Pain, The Pain in Yambol
I don't think there has ever been a time where some folk in an apartment block are modernising their apartment or repairing something. So, the old material always ends up leaning against the block wall waiting for it to be salvaged by passers-by. On this occasion it is glass windows, Oh the pain, the pain was what came to mind seeing these here. This, of course, is from Dr. Smith for the American series Lost in Space.
