Olá td bem?
Passados 9 meses da minha experiência aqui só tenho a dizer coisas boas sobre as pessoas. É um povo extremamente simpático e quando percebem que eu não sou búlgara logo querem fazer amizade e ouvir sobre o Brasil.
As pessoas aqui chegam pontualmente nos horários marcados, acredito que esse comportamento é típico europeu, eu adoro, pois demonstra assim respeito e amizade.
Nos jantares com amigos ou família é tipico você falar Nazdrave! Que significa saúde na língua búlgara e ao brindar com bebida que precisa ser alcóolica, não pode com suco ou água, você olha dentro do olho das pessoas na hora que fala nazdrave, acho esse comportamento muito sincero e na minha opinião é muito legal.
A Bulgária tem valores culturais muito fortes, as pessoas valorizam muito a família e essa marca você observa inclusive no folclore de raiz que se mantém preservado até hoje.
Tem vários festivais ao longo do ano e você pode ver essa riqueza expressa na música e nas vestimentas.
Um dos mais bonitos é o Festival das Rosas, que ocorre na cidade de Kazanlak para celebrar a produção de toneladas da rosa mais famosa do mundo, a Rosa Damascena que compõe perfumes como Chanel N.05, também encontrado em perfumes da Dior, Givenchy, Kenzo e muitas outras, o legal saber é que a Bulgária é responsável por 70% da exportação mundial, este festival atrai turistas do mundo inteiro, este ano não pude ir por que o marido estava viajando, mas no próximo ano estarei lá sem falta.

Hello how are you?
After 9 months of my experience here, I can only say good things about people. They are extremely friendly people and when they realize that I'm not from here they wanna to make friendship and like to hear about Brazil. People here punctually arrive at scheduled times, I believe this behavior is typical European, so I love it, because it shows respect and friendship as well.
At dinner with friends or family is typical saying Nazdrave! Which means health in Bulgaria and toast drink that needs to be alcoholic, can not with juice or water, you look into their eyes in time Nazdrave speaking, this is a very sincere behavior and in my opinion is pretty cool. Bulgaria has very strong cultural values, people highly value family and you realize that brand including folklore root that remains preserved until today. It has several festivals throughout the year and you can see that the wealth expressed in music and clothes.
One of the nicest is the Rose Festival, which takes place in the town of Kazanlak to celebrate the production of tons of the most famous in the world has increased, Damascena Rose, composing fragrances like Chanel N.05 also found in Dior perfumes, Givenchy, Kenzo and many others, the nice thing to know about it is that Bulgaria is responsible for 70% of world exports, this festival attracts tourists from around the world, this year I could not go because my husband was traveling, but next year I will be there without fail. Above you can check the festival list. How not to love this country?
До Скоро!
