what is there to do in bulgaria

[AEsuperG]

i might be going to bulgaria on business and was wondering what fun can be had. not sure of what city yet. i dont mind drifting some 86's, but i want to see the country. thanks

You can browse some cities here. There are filters for items shown on maps. The main problem - all is in Bulgarian. Try and if I can help with some translation - just drop me a letter or write here :-)

There is food guide in English (I'm not sure - maybe only for Sofia - the capital):

And some news and a lot of different information - in English:

PS: Are you member of team Hinga ?????

[AEsuperG]

hey jamiemirror, thanks for the info...if i have any questions i will let you know.

yea, i am a hinga. one of the original members.

Nice to meet you, if you choose the capital (Sofia) - I can help you a little with some translation/guide.

plovdiv is where i will visit. i do want to know what kind of connection you use on your tv for a xbox. if the tv does not have rca jacks that is.

[jamiemirror]

Game maniac :-)
You will find mostly "euro SCART" connectors - AFAIK there are SCART-to-RCAs adapters for sale (standart items) in most electronic stores. Also maybe the TV will have RCA jacks - not so rare option (the older ones - before SCART models).

Be prepared for 35+ C hot wheather, but sometimes will rain. Unfortunately - I cannot remember any AE86 owner in that city :-(

man i forgot how hot weather is. i am going to die there. it is only like 15-20 degC here. so i take it that the majority of the populace does not speak english. will there be a big language barrier?

[jamiemirror]

About language barrier - this is not so big problem here :-)
If you choose good hotel/bar/pizza/restaurant - expect the English-speaking staff too. Most young people will speak English acceptable.
About the climate - just enjoy the summer here :-) Get an ice cream, drink fresh beer (there are breweries in Plovdiv). I recommend you all the grilled food (mostly unobtainable outside Bulgaria/Serbia/Turkey area), fresh fruits and vegetable salads - Plovdiv is agricultural region also. It will be waste of time just sitting in hotel room - I think :-)

[AEsuperG]

i am sure i will see a lot of the city. i will be there for about 3 weeks. so some nights i need to stay in and count beans. lol. thanks for all the info so far.

[AEsuperG]

jamiemirror- well i am having a blast here in plovdiv. lot of grilled food. a lot of variety of all foods, really. and cheap. everything is cheap. seen a lot of the city, but i will go to old town and the big statue in a couple of days. thanks for the info.
