Hi Justin! Sofia's "Square of Tolerance" includes a mosque, a synagogue, an Orthodox church and a Catholic cathedral. So you just missed the Catholic cathedral St. Joseph which is also within a few minutes walk and completes the so called "square". But I guess, you completed "Justin's Square of Tolerance" by replacing the Roman Cathedral with the banitsa shop, which is equally as important. Have a good one, check out Vitosha mountain if you have the time, you can catch a bus and then a cabin lift to get up there and then enjoy a traditional meal while looking down at the capital - surprisingly the only European capital located next to a mountain!

I like Bulgaria. It’s cheap, has good food. I like the areas of Sofia with narrow cobblestone streets and old architecture. I was going to go move there, but they make it hard to get residency as a non-European (I’m American) who’s not at retirement age. But it’s easy to visit, and it’s nice, especially from spring to early autumn.

Hello mate... Maybe consider learning something in Bulgaria!!! Might help your visa issues😊😎🤔

@mrkcur 3 ай бұрын

@@J.E.E A student visa is a good idea except I don’t think I can get one. Well, I know that I cannot get a work permit type visa because I registered a single-member LLC in Bulgaria. I assume the same applies for a student visa because the lawyer didn’t suggest this option. In some countries, it’s easier to get residency if you have a company but not in Bulgaria. The lawyer gave me options, but they are not realistic in my situation. For example, I can hire 10 locals except I can’t afford that many! Bulgaria has its rules, and I respect that. I’ll move somewhere else in Eastern Europe where the rules are different. I’ve been watching your channel to help give me ideas of where.

Grat videos, Justin, thank you 1. The Largo is also known as the authorities' triangle. In the middle is the Parliament, on the right behind you is the Presidency and on the left is the Ministers Council. 2. In that particular area, there is not only a mosque, a sinagogue, and a cathedral (which is orthodox) but also a catholics church. 3. There are so many types of БАНИЦА, you can make a full episode only about it. It is not a puff pastry, it is usually made of sheets, but not only. Also it can be made with cheese, fruits, meat, vegetables in different shapes and sizes. 4. Next time you're in Bulgaria, visit some deep coutryside villages and/or wild nature in the mountains or forests. Best regards,

@petkofenersky1644 3 ай бұрын

There are multiple nice church buildings in the city, but many of them are not in large squares and open spaces. 500 m to the right from the Synagogue you can find also the biggest catholic cathedral (100 m from St Nedelya in the video). It has its old small part but also a new one, a large tall building, constructed some 20 years ago. 100 m from the above mentioned there is also a smaller one, the Orthodox church of the Romanian Patriarchate. The town also has a small and nice Russian Orthodox church and several Protestant churches.

Hisaria town, near to Plovdiv is good place to visit and on the way to it there is a lot of more places you can enjoy. Best wishes to you 👍

Meaning there is a massive influx of digital nomads and other people that make the cost of living very hard for the locals and it is hard already as it is. That is why you wont see Bold and Bankrupt making videos in Check Republic because he is living there. Just keep it in mind my friend

14:50 That's a lot of BS. The lev is pegged to the Euro since 1997(well the Deutshe Mark at the time and then Euro since 00). So it's absolutely irrelevant what it says on the notes. If we had an actual currencey(Like CZK, PLN, RON or god forbid the HUF) it would fluctuate a lot more and not be 1,95 BGN for €1. At the moment we actually just have the cons of not being in the Euro zone by being charged exchange fees all the time. We are literally using euros, but calling them 2 levs.

Aaah I recognize this banitsa shop as a native, living abroad I can confirm some of the banitsa shops who are known by locals. Nothing special but yeah this is one of the oldest. Is it at street Iskar ? Close to Bernard's bar or something german now? Sorry but I haven't been in Sofia for 3 months now and last time I was in this area was on last summer. I also think the local lady is cool :) Thanks for your video, It 's making me smile :)

So many foreigners that visit our country for their first time are so amazed by the level on which we are able to speak English. Let me tell you something - we have the best internet in the whole world, we are currently over 6 million people and the three national telephone companies have combined over 20 million subscribers (on month fees). That alone is supposed to tell you everything

The spot you stand on at 8:45 is probably one of the few places in the world where you can see at the same time an Orthodox Church, and Catholic Church, a Mosque, and a Synagogue at the same time.

Nice video, nice editing. Bulgarian and the people here changed a lot in the recent years (for the better) since we "ditched" communism. Thanks for showing our beautiful country to the world. :)

I'm from Bulgaria and the thing is if you wanna talk to someone that knows english it would most likely be someone who is around 5-7th grade since this generation learns english from 2th grade is school and 70% of student know almost flawless english like me! :)
