Hello Mr.Bald, this video hits real close to home as I'm from Bulgaria, but I'm currently studying in the Netherlands. I wanted to say that I admire your fascination with slavic countries. Bulgaria and its people have been through hundreds of years of hardship, mainly under ottoman rule and soviet communism, but still we have upheld our values and traditions. The villages that you visited in this video are just a couple of the thousands that are currently in disrepair due to the population either aging and passing away or the youth moving to bigger cities like Sofia. I am really grateful that you are showing part of the lives of the people that live there, my grandfather is in a similar situation and it brings me joy knowing others from all around the world are getting to see this. The country is truly beautiful, if you take away the fact that it is being ravaged by corruption and political greed. Nevertheless, thanks for showing Bulgaria to the millions who watch your channel! All the best from Montana, Bulgaria. Благодаря!

Bulgaria is great, wonderful rural scenery, friendly people, tasty food and is the mother to the Slavic languages. Gorgeous and explore the interior folks!

Great video my man!! Some fascinating places out there 💯💯

Have been waiting for you to visit for years. There is so much more to see and experience. Fingers crossed you come over here again.

Mr. Bald, You sir are one of, if not, my favorite content creator. Love seeing you back in the proper neck of the woods.

bulgaria is a beautifull country with very old protected woods by unesco , springwater everywhere , beautifull monastirs , Nesebar ... I went there in my youth . Very interesting ! Greetings from belgium ! Thank you again for taking us on your trip !

Ooh i was waiting for Bulgarian episode, you're gonna like it we are lovely !!

Quality content. This is brilliant

Rousse (not Rus) is not your average "provincial" town. Thanks to its location at the end of the 19the and the beginning of the 20th century it was the place where a lot of things took place for the first time in Bulgaria - first train connection was between Rousse and Varna, the first textile factory was built there, the first cinema projection took place, first printing office in Bulgaria was opened, the first steel ship in Bulgaria was built, the first private bank was established... the list goes on. Those interested can check its wiki. It was a bustling commerce and cultural centre with a lot of foreign traders living there as well. Communism is not the only thing that happened to former socialist countries, I know that's what fascinates Bold the most, but I find it a bit ridiculous how he acts all shocked and surprised when he sees that it is just a small part of their history and there's a lot more to be discovered.

Hey Bald. I know it's not as flashy but Eastern Germany has some really cool communist heritage. You could check out pretty much abandoned planning cities like Eisenhüttenstadt or so. There are some Soviet mosaiks here and there, even in big towns like Dresden. I can only highly suggest the region. Have a good one, awesome video as always ❤️
