    So happy to see people learning my language! Keep doing it, it is the best way to get to know better your neighbours and create new friendships. Note - Econt does actually do door-to-door deliveries, you can request a visit for pick up, but your town might be visited by a courier just 3 days a week. Also, keep in mind Bulgarians are always willing to help their neighbours, when you need a hand for something heavy do not hesitate to check with some of them

    Здравейте, семейство! Добре дошли в България! Желая Ви щастлив живот и незабравими моменти тук! P.S. I noticed on the white board written the word “today” ( днес) . Please be more careful when writing capital “Д”, because it looks like “A”. The horizontal line of “Д” should be completely down on the “imaginary” line and a little bit longer on both ends, with the two little “legs” on both sides below it.😊😊😊

    Another fun-filled video. Thank you for taking us through daily life along with some of the touristy sights (and awesome food! Your potatoes and gravy have me craving some now!) The girls are growing so fast and so are the cute pups. Love that you both are so compassionate with the animals there. Both you and your hubby are terrific parents, and very capable. Great partnership. There are so many wonderful, solid properties throughout Bulgaria, and you're showing how they can be transformed with a little TLC into a real home. Lovely.

    Another great video! Tbh you all look happier in every new video! Hope everything works out for your family 🖤 About the registration if you past “customs” ugh I had nightmare with that, the registration is easy. I paid 300 or 350 leva to a company that do this (it happen in Varna) as you won’t need to keep queuing for hours and hours as KAT often have 15 min breaks (it’s disgusting really) so the 300/350 leva was worthy as meanwhile I did some shopping in the city xd Also just to mention keep checking the discounts in the supermarkets and do a “club cart” as it save a lot. There was discount on juice , milk, American cheese and many more last week, also if you have Lidl near by try it - I think it bit cheaper than Kaufland (and I had problem with a fhdjsnsjsn toothbrush with Kaufland and not much help by the customer service) Greetings from the seaside 🖤🇧🇬🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🖤

    Make sure you know where the chassis number is when you take the jeep to the Kat office . When you import the van you will need the chassis number and that the number of seats matches the v5 . You will have import duty to pay based on a Bulgariaian valuation then you will have to go to the Kat office for new documents and registration. It cost me 2000lv to import my 2005 ford ranger . Good luck .

    One of the big things I have missed since moving to Bulgaria is Indian "English Indian" food! The excitment in your face from the idea of it makes me laugh! If you have a metro near you then you can sometimes get some sauces.

    Yes, well, it is expensive if you pay someone to do it all. We are doing everything ourselves (as we did with our UK home). We spent less than £10,000 renovating an English house. We know how to do low-cost renovations to a high standard so that we don't lose money.
