New Credit Advertisement Methods In Yambol Streets

I see these ingenious advertising methods around Yambol quite often enticing people to take a slip with a telephone number on to get quick credit. Credit is ripe in Yambol and Bulgarian as a whole and anyone who knows me knows what I think of pushing credit and banks! :(  There are quite a few Bulgarians who would actually go for this credit, this particular credit company is called Profi Credit.

A New Yambol Restaurant Opens

This used to be a Chinese styled restaurant sitaution in the middle of an area called Borovets. It closed down to be become the nerve centre for the Bulgarian political party GERB, which subsequently won the National elections earlier this year. It now has returened to being a restauarant again albeit 100% Bulagrian with no chinese menus now. The GERB party had moved to new offices 200 metres down the road. We tried it out a few weeks ago, good but expensive, not our choice next time round!

A Brick Wall Built On A Yambol Street - Why?

As I walked along the Yambol side streets I came across a brick wall that had been built that sticks out from a house wall. It sees to have no purpose there at all. Perhaps the Bulgarian owners started something that couldn’t be finished or is to be finished. The wall looks like it has been there for some time and it remains a mystery. I don’t find seeing thing like this strange anymore, but I might have done a few years ago here.

A Classic Moskovitch - With Racing Stripes?

I generally don't like cars, but they are a fact of life in this modern world. What I do find interesting are the old Ladas and Moskovitch cars imported from Russia. Many of these cars are 20, 30 or even 40 years or older and still running, just. they are the workhorses on Bulgarian roads and outclass all other modern vehicles in personality. This classic Moskovitch has racing stripes or is the tape there to hold the bonnet together? Whatever the reason, this car is still working and runs although there is a brick behind th back wheel so the handbrake doesn't work. The number plate is brand new so it got through the 'tough' ministry of transport test somehow.

Recycling Bricks In Yambol

Another typical sight in a changing Yambol City where new developments continue. In this development they are recycling all the bricks you can see stacked up. These will be used in the new buildings that will go up. This is not just part of cost cutting, but normal Bulgarian practice of reusing material time and time again. In 50 years time these bricks may well be used again if the building is re-developed
