I visited Bulgaria a few years back. Pleasant , friendly and cost effective! I would recommend Bulgaria!

Your video informs & inspires people all over the world. May peace & prosperity, health & harmony, come to Bulgaria, Bulgarian & people around the world.

I totally agree with barron8006, they always show the few business owners who made it at the cost of the rest of the population. Im from Poland and we went through the same thing. On television they portray Poland as a booming economy and the best growing country in central eastern Europe, but the reality is far different.

+adrian niemiec So what is your suggestion? The improvements in Bulgaria (and many other nations) need to come from a pride, and acknowledgements of the process and need for incremental steps one step at a time. Also people, from Eastern Europe in general should know, from the experiences of those that have emigrated and returned, as well as from what I know-that higher wages on there own don't equate to a better more fulfilled life. A life earning £300 pounds is nothing in the UK, as the costs are significantly higher day to day living, the opportunity to earn £100 a week in Bulgaria will give the same standard of living. People need to be wise to this simple rule before fleeing a country like Bulgaria for a false dawn somewhere else that is only better in perception and not reality. Would people rather live working as a factory 'dogs body', or trying to improve their homeland and cultural heritage for future generations. I can see there has been difficulties in the transition period experienced by Bulgarians, but this transition won't be for eternity. The more Bulgarians stay to enhance their nation, the shorter that transition period and a bright outlook will be very near. I am British, and am emigrating to Bulgaria, I don't like the police or 'nanny state' the UK is today, unfortunately the media leads to a very ill informed society that behaves like sheep for the larger corporations and the elite to manipulate. Bulgaria has lots going for it, don't think life is valued by economic indicators

By "they" he means the successors of the communists that ruled over Eastern Europe for 45 years (more or less, depending on the country). Most of the big companies that were state property got, basically legally stolen. By that I mean that the commies gave these big companies to people of their inner circles, even though they technically shouldn't have the authority to do such a thing, but in the 90's, here, there was no such thing as law and basically every one that had a seat in the Parliament could do whatever he wanted. Think of it as North Korea, only with more "dear leaders". They legalised illegally (even if it's sounds like a paradox) all that they have stolen and I'm talking about money and companies worth billions at that time. They had full authority over the legal system, so it wasn't really a hard thing to do. They still retain most of what they had taken. Well for sources simply search in google for any renowned media that had articles on the topics which I have written in the first paragraph. Everything they say is true except for minor details that don't matter. I mean I myself witnessed what happened here and since it's not yet history and the levels of corruption are still pretty high, I cannot offer you any scientific proof of that lol. Your "add links or it didn't happen" argument isn't valid for this situation. What I recall is a quote from a western newspaper that actually depicted these events quite well: "The mafia has it's own state".

Well documented and presented. Regardless of my own disagreements at some points, I should say it was interesting and educating though. However, some figures and facts were non-realistic (e.g. the GDP growth), as well as statements such as the positive tendency of the returning living abroad Bulgarians back at home. Nevertheless, the documentary is quite objective and doesn't aim any kind of propaganda.
