Like 2024-06-02|yesterday we went to Kazanluk again. We went to a museum “Sometimes we have to see that a deer is closer to us than all the computers we surround us with.” Dimi. getting food 2€ Gyros. Similar to Döner Let’s go to the Communist Monument. The round UFO-like structure is the Buzludzha Monument, situated atop the Buzludzha Peak in the Central Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria. This imposing structure was built by the Bulgarian communist regime in the 1970s as a memorial to commemorate the founding of the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party. It served as a meeting place for the Bulgarian Communist Party until the fall of communism in 1989. Today, the monument stands abandoned, yet it remains a striking and somewhat eerie reminder of Bulgaria’s communist past, attracting curious visitors and photographers from around the world. ...
On this day like the day before we would go kazanlak. Today there would be the rose parade.

Now the day finally came. We came to a museum called Damascena ethnographic complex. Because of yesterdays day fishing I was avoiding the sun as much as possible. We were here to see a traditional Rose dance. 🐕🌹 All the dancers are from highschool. Tanya used to be the substitute Rose queen🏵👑. She also used to dance and sing. The dance is usually accompanied by music, which may range from traditional folk music to contemporary songs celebrating the beauty of roses. The live band was good. The tourists were very annoying though. traditional clothing Together Picking roses in the fields The #USA pisses on the world. ...
Yesterday we stayed up late, that is why we had a very chill morning today. We’d be going #Fishing 🎣 with Theo Chen and Junning. Getting lost because the location was not precisely the correct one. The cousin of Tanya gave us the fishing rod and equipment needed for fishing. We even had chairs and an umbrella. He showed us how to do it. He left and we had two fishing rods on our own. After 10 minutes we decided to lure in the line and throw the bait again. It was my turn so exiting. I did not hold the line with one finger and the line was stuck to the mechanism. The line ripped. I yeeted the bait 30m far away into the lake. A bit stupid from me 😐. Nevertheless it was very relaxing going fishing. Chen unscrewed the sieve in the water and lost it in the water. I had to retrieve it. We almost didn’t move that day. We only went out of town to go to the nearby lake (artificial) that is just 3km away. In the evening some friends of Tanya and Dimi came by. ...
Today we drove across half of Bulgaria for two hours from Kazanlank to Nessebar in Burgas Province, the town locates on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. We visited the Nesebar Archaeological Museum. On the way to Nessebar we saw some water parks, resort and fish restaurants. Finally seeing the seaside 🏖️. Though we smelled the sea from wind first than seeing it. new day starts with weird flex with crocodile of the boys 😎🌞. croc 🐊 ...
Dimi played a song very loud to wake us up at 7am. Theo clogged the sink in the 2024-05-28|yesterday night. He and Chen took on the challenge to fix it. Eventually Junning came to the rescue and helped him with his engineering skills. The mechanical closing mechanism broke and thus the water was not flowing. After disassembling everything and readjusting the sealing ring the sink worked fine ⚒️👨🔧 ...
