Possibly due to the political standing in the past, Bulgaria seems to be relatively conservative.

In general, English is not popular here, communication is an obstacle. The Bulgarian language is using Cyrillic Alphabet, which confused me a lot. English signboard is rare, most of the descriptions are in Bulgarian language. Knowledge of this Cyrillic is essential.

Compare to Europe standard, the living expense in Bulgaria is low. Bear in mind that the average salary of the ordinary workers is approx. Euro150.
