Your photos reminded me of that skit with a very famous Bulgarian actor who says something like: Eh, what nature we have, something incredible! However, in winter I don't leave the house because I'm very cold. In the summer I go to the sea in Greece, I go on gastro tours in Serbia, because the food there is tastier and better quality, I buy everything else, as well as medicine from Turkey, because everything is much better quality and cheaper there, even the medical services. But, eh, what nature we have, something amazing!

To be honest, in my recent conversations with acquaintances and strangers, I am reminded of past facts, events and traditions in our life that terrify me - the constantly galloping prices and the constant attempts of all kinds of state institutions, as well as agencies under the care of the state or by somehow related to it, to rob us, at every step, in every stage of life.

And when you say "You will guess correctly", I'm not sure that the people of a humane country could imagine how a certain group of people at the top took advantage of the poverty and hopelessness of the people to rob them, pouring out their money in his own pocket, forcing payment for everything, even the most absurd, inventing the most absurd fees for everything. Then come the foreign investors who quickly or slowly absorb the same mentality and become worse than their teachers...

I disagree with one thing in your text. Bulgarians are not warm and hospitable people. If they were like that, I wouldn't be afraid, for example, to ask something in a group otherwise created for mutual help on various topics, or at the very least, I would get some kind of answer to my question. Have you noticed how many people in the country wear red threads on their wrists? It is because we are very good and help each other, maybe. Personally, I am afraid of what a compatriot might do to me. Here or abroad.
