Здравейте!

Напоследък дамите около мен започнаха да забременяват и ми стана любопитно как всъщност се стига до този момент в едни отношения.

Имам чувството, че жените по принцип сме готови за тази стъпка на доста по-ранен етап и може би от нас идва разговора за бебе, но знам ли.

Наясно съм, че има случаи, в които не се планира и става “случайно”, но да. Обръщам се към хората, които вече имат дечица

Despite being an EU country, very few people in Bulgaria support same-sex marriage in surveys. Why is this?

Аз (22Ж) нямам представа какво да правя с живота си.
Завърших бакалавър в доста сериозна част от ИТ сферата (2 години по-рано от обикновено), след няколко месеца приключвам и магистратура.
Работя доста високо платена работа (за средното в БГ), изцяло remote.
Изглеждам добре и мога да кажа, че имам доста акъл в главата си.
Проблема е там, че не намирам радост в абсолютно нищо. Имам 2-3 приятелки, с които се виждаме през няколко месеца, но като цяло е това. Не излизам, защото няма с кого. Не си говоря с никого, защото нямам интерес да си говоря с хората, които познавам, а същевременно и не се запознавам с никого.
От друга страна интересите ми са разностранни и мога да говоря на много различни теми (за предпочитане не за повърхностни неща).
Но за сметка на това постоянно се чувствам зле и не виждам реален смисъл в нищо. Нямам представа какво да правя с бъдещето си. Да продължа да работя това, което много ме напряга, защото е супер отговорно? Да сменя след толкова време учене и вече придобит опит? Да продължа ли да уча още (докторантура)? Да се преместя в София и да започна да излизам, за да се запознавам с хора?
Поставям си някакви цели, които си мисля, че ще ми донесат някакво удовлетворение, но всъщност не е така.
Знам, че всеки е отговорен за своето щастие, но от известно време не намирам щастие в нищо. Просто не знам какво да правя, а не издържам да се чувствам така повече.
Всякакъв съвет е добре дошъл :)

Before i get alot of angry bulgarians in the comments, i dont plan on drinking or clubbing a whole lot, otherwise i would of chosen somewhere with less culture and more booze.

But as a 17yo (turning 18 a month later) surrounded by 18yos its inevitable we do go to a few so im wondering how strict bulgaria is on underaged drinking and catching fakes.

Also would a UK driving license be valued to them anyway or would they only take passports.

Again, we arent planning on being rowdy pricks from england, we came for the culture :)

If anyone knows about greece (thessaloniki) aswell it would be much appreciated

Hello, I woke up today with terrible cyst pain, and if it continues, I need to see a doctor tomorrow. However, the doctor especially needs to speak English. Which hospital should I choose? I looked at Vita Hospital, but the appointment booking page is entirely in Bulgarian. Can you recommend a hospital or private gynecologist where I can go directly and get examined? Thank you in advance

Guys do you know where is “enimedika” hospital

I’m interested in whether it’s worth working in a casino in Sofia and what the salaries are like there. I speak Bulgarian at an intermediate level, I’m female and 18 years old. In about 2 years I’ll also get citizenship.

The minimum wage in Serbia is around 47,000–50,000 Serbian dinars (around €400–430), and I feel like working in Bulgaria could be much more worth it financially

When

I want to visit Bulgaria for vacation. I want to know is it safe for gay men? Could you recommend resorts for a week or so?

Hello,

I will have two items arriving to Bulgaria from Australia and Japan soon. Both are under €150, one is like €50 and the other is €59. (I don’t know if EORI number is related with values btw, both are action figures and bought online)

First of all this is my first direct experience, I do read EORI number around. Will I need this for those packages?

I am getting the items sent to one of my relatives there so he lives far away from airport, will he have to go to airport for EORI number? Can it be done through post office or something as well?

Long story short, can I get them through BGPost without EORI?

Thanks.

I just went to buy some stuff from a shop that was well furnished 5 years ago and is now mostly empty (no cigarettes, half of the fridges empty, 2 bottles of vodka...). I know proximity shops are doomed as supermarket take over, the same way petrol station have moved outside of the city, but I feel it is a staple of Eastern Europe and I am wondering if that shop is the exception or, more likely, a sign of the changes.

How is your corner shop doing?

First time visiting Bulgaria…will be in Sofia for a day, we have 1 extra day to spend en route to Varna, which do you recommend: Plovdiv or valika tarnova?

Does anyone know where I can find out about local bus routes and times in the wider Teteven/Gabrovo/Lovech region? Google searches have told me that local routes are offered by all sorts of small bus companies and that you need to look at their websites, but of course there doesn't seem to be any info on what those companies are called either.

The context is that I'm considering moving to a rural property somewhere around there but don't have a driving licence and am not intending on getting one. [And before you tell me that living without a car is impossible, I currently do exactly that in a rural area of Yorkshire with horrendous public transport infrastructure. It's not always super convenient but it is possible.] The properties I'm looking at are close enough to the nearest food shops for me to walk or cycle there but of course I'll also need to be able to get to a GP, vet, train station, etc. every now and again. That's mainly what I'd need busses for and it's fine it they only run twice a day. Ideally I'd like to figure that out before I arrange viewings so that I can already exclude anything that wouldn't work. Although, comments by others re public transport in general in Bulgaria suggest that it may be easier to figure out when I'm there. Would you agree?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a mil! Or should that be благодаря? [Yes, I had to get Google to translate that for me but I promise I'll learn the language and the Cyrillic alphabet when I get there!! :)]

I noticed there's a wide variety of supermarkets in Vidin (Bulgaria) and Calafat (Romania), and I saw that both cities have Lidl, which is the brand I'm most familiar with. Where is it cheaper, in Romania or Bulgaria?

I’m going to nessebar later this week and my son is fascinated with wildlife. Can someone suggest some places we could go in or around too see some animals? Preferably wild ones

Me and 17 other 18-23 year olds will spend 4 days in Varna and Sunny beach during July. We are looking for fun things to do in and arround Varna and Sunny beach (activities, experiences, ......). Any recommendations or things that we must do/see while were there?

Does anyone remember Ventsislav Gochev from Spartak Pleven Bulgarian B Football in the 1980s?

For more context:
I took an AncestryDNA. I was adopted in the US as a toddler and don’t know my biological parents or anything. My results show that name to be my biological father. But there is not any more information about it. I’ve searched all platforms I know to search. This was all I have found so far.
The match very well could have zero correlation to this specific guy, so if anyone knows anything about the name in general, I would greatly appreciate any information that could help. Thanks.
