Our Local Yambol Dentist

I just love this sign showing the way to our local dentist. The telephone number has a an implant of 6, I just hope the teeth are implanted more professionally - I'm sure they are. Dentists in Bulagria form my experience are as good as any UK dentists and of course a damn site cheaper. It worth making a trip to Bulgaria to get dental treatment and you will still be quids in!

A Smoking Wheelie Bin In Yambol

Well a digital camera has finally arrived bought on a Bulgaria 'Ebay' type online auction and was delivered within 24 hours at a bargain price of 104 BGN leva. The first picture I took was just 100 metres from our Yambol home as I immediately saw a wheelie bin that had been set on fire. This is quite a common here and no need for any fire brigade to extinguish it as it keeps the scavenging cats, dogs rats and mice away.

A Camera At Last!

What a turn up this weekend. I did a favour for a reader of my blog, namely to go to the Yambol cemetery and look up a relative who had passed away in recent year and give feedback. It was something that I would have done as a favour as that’s the sort of people we are here and we did. We got information of the burial site, dates, addresses and pictures (ironically from a borrowed camera) and gave this back.

Soon after the person who asked for out help send a donation of $50 for out troubles. This was a total surprise and of course adds to the $20 that has already been donated toward a digital camera. With $70 in the pot I now can afford a digital camera and am on the point of buying one. It will be at the cheapest end of the market but as long as it does the job that’s all that matters.

So now time ticks away for more pictures to be taken, not just on Yambol Daily Pictures blog, but for all my blogs that have recently lacked original pictures as their source

I would like to thank the donors that have made this possible http://dfoolonthehill.com (who has said farewell for some reason – see the link) for the $20 and Sergei Bazhgin (location unknown) for the $50!

I hate shopping, but now have to for the best budget camera deals around.

A Busy Day At The Yambol Cemetery

I borrowed a friend's camera on Saturday for our yearly trip to the Yambol cemetery. It was Galia's father 13th year to the day of passing away. We tided up the grave, laid flowers lit a few candles and watered it with a cross pattern before reflecting on his life and moving on. Not a solemn day but a celebration of his life. The flower stall and candle shop were doing very good business today on this mild December day.

Yambol Coach Accident - Charges Made

This tragic accident is still very much a vivid memory for many in Yambol.

The official charges against the two defendants in the May bus accident in the "Bakadzhik" area near the city of Yambol are ready and will enter the court by December 10. The information was announced Wednesday by the Yambol Regional Prosecutor. The trial in the case, involving the death of 18 people caused by a bus careering down a mountainside called Bakadzhik Peak and plowing through a crowd of pedestrians heading to a religious festival, will, most likely, begin in January. According to earlier reports, the trial was scheduled to begin in October.

The two defendants are the owner of the carrier company, Slavi Slavov and the driver, Gospodin Gospodinov. Slavov is charged with causing death due to recklessness while Gospodinov -with violating traffic laws. The technical probe found that the bus breaks did not work properly and failed. The driver had a 0,66 blood alcohol level and had been driving too fast for the steep terrain. About 50 people are expected to take the witness stand.
