Police Traffic Tower Still Stands in Yambol

Having been manned during the Communist era, these traffic towers still stand in Yambol. With a falling population in Yambol and no traffic jams, I don't think they will ever be used again

Face To Face With A Yambol JCB

It isn't often you come across being face to face with a JCB with the motor running. As I crossed the road to get a coffee lunchtime it nearly ran me over! The driver got out and complained about me crossing the road. I reacted by taking a picture of the JCB and he stopped threatening me as he though it was for the police! So there's the story behind this picture.

The Yambol Bus Station Pubic Toilets

Tucked away out of sight, the Yambol Bus Station public toilets don't do a roaring trade from the men of Yambol. I will tell you why. Most men, including myself, take a short walk toward to the Tundzha River and relieve ourselves by the back of a building (the police head office building as it happens!) I know as the smell is so distinctive there. The price of using the public toilet is 30 stotinki and having accidentally walked into and used the ladies toilets some four years ago, I wasn't impressed with the hygiene of the place, but that may just be the ladies of Yambol!

Husky Dog Power Over Yambol's Tundzha River

Husky dogs are very popular in Yambol and are often seen out and about. this particular husky dog is in its element working away pulling a cyclist across the Tundzha River. It may seem pretty dangerous to thsoe who are accustomed to European roads with police surveillance everywhere, but is q common sight here without questioning.
