The WW2 Memorial Statue in Yambol

Most people don't notice this memorial that stands just south of the River Tundzha in Yambol. It is a grim reminder of the sacrifices of war which we should learn from.

A Memorial in Front of Yambol's Ottoman Mosque (Ebu Bekir)

There is usually a pot of flowers in the centre of the circle often seen being laid  and watered by pensioners who tend to the area from goodwill. It is a small memorial and quite refreshing to see it being respected by the thousands of visitors who walk past it in Yambol City Park.

this Yambol shop may look rough, but is is open and ready for business everyday to local residents. The roof still keeps the water out so why bother repairing it? - A waste of money!

At least everyone can see and be reminded of previous residents and customers that shopped there.
