A Couple of Apartment Blocks

It never fails to interest me with these Yambol apartment blocks. Each apartment has a different style as I try and work out what type of person lives there looking at the clues in the modernisation of each home. These blocks are situated not far from the grand Town Park of which all these residents get a fantastic view of from their windows.

Yambol's Hospital - The Accident and Emergency Centre

No more than 200 metres from where I live in Yambol is the hospital, a massive complex. This is the accident and emergency centre where the ambulances run in and out frequently. Visits to the hospital luckily for me is only to see friends and family there, let's hope it stays that way.

Yambol's Caramel Bar

Away from the town centre in a suburb in the south are is the Caramel Bar and it's outside seating area. It is hard to believe it is November and the outside area is still being used. There may not be anyone there this mid-morning, but every evening is full of families who gather together to socialise after work. This area is near the Capri Hotel and Sara Supermarket.

Yambol's Fine Fire Station Doors

As I walked past the fire staiton this fine November morning with the sun blazing down, it was the fire station doors that caught my eye. They are wooden and in perfect condition. What a change from the western sterile metal electronic shutter types you normally find. They actually open and close faster that the modern automatic doors as well.

Gypsy Firewood Collection

This is a common site in Yambol, especially this time of year. This gypsy, and it isn't just gypsies who do it, walk around the town picking up dead wood to burn on their fires everyday. It is free fuel and really does ring the sound of Yambol being a green town unitl you find that the other sack he is holding amound other materials, plastic that will be used to start the fire! Well at least it is not being done on in industrial scale.
