Another Yambol Bicycle 2008-07-28 10:02:58 One of the more modern bikes of Yambol this one with brakes and gears. But still the standard home made plastic top box and a home adjusted cross frame taken off and re-welded at an angle. This is for less effort mounting and dismounting. So practical!I just love Bulgarian bicycles each and every one is are so individual.://therakiasite.com://bulgarianslivatree.com
Graffiti Virus 2008-07-27 23:07:01 Today like most day, I noticed change in Yambol. In this instance a new graffiti appeared overnight. This is becoming a regular feature now in Yambol for the new generation of Bulgarian, the virus is spreading from western Europe, what a shame there is no antidote other than communism.://365bulgarianadvetures.com://therakiasite.com://bulgarianslivatree.com

Yambol Theatre 2008-07-27 00:50:01 The Grand Theatre/Cinema in Yambol town centre. Many a concert held there from National and International performers. One of the best kept building in the town.://365bulgarianadvetures.com://therakiasite.com://bulgarianslivatree.com
Bulgarian Parking 2008-07-25 03:12:56 Talking of pavements and pedestrians, the Bulgarian
just don't have a care in the world about where they park, if it convenient for them fine, for others, hard luck. Her is a typical example of a car parked right across the walkway in a residential street. It's there most of the time as close as he can get to his garden gate. This is perfectly acceptable here, no one complains.://365bulgarianadvet Read more:Parking
Pavement Garden 2008-07-24 03:06:27 This is a Yambol cobblestoned street which has a paved walkway on the side. The owner of the house where it runs by decided to dig up all the paving stones and set up a growing area for more vegetables. Most people walk in the road and don't use the pavement, so it is not doing any harm and lets be honest the vegetable patch is in better condition now that what it was before!://365bulgarianadvetur Read more:Garden
A Small Vilton Supermarket 2008-07-24 02:58:33 This is a Bulgarian Vilton supermarket only built tow years ago. It's only a smallish one and other massive supermarkets have been built locally taking away many local Yambol customers. If we have to go to a supermarket we use this because it is small and on the way back from work. The other thing about this was the limited number of car parking spaces, only around 10 to cater for the supermarket, Read more:Small

Fine Yambolian Garden Gates 2008-07-23 07:25:39 These fine Yambolian Garden
gates are seen daily. They are painted in the Bulgarian colours of red, green and white to give that distinctive blend of Bulgarian pride. Of course what is beyond those gates is a garden of produce you could die for.://365bulgarianadvetures.com://therakiasite.com://bulgarianslivatree.com

Yambol Market 2008-07-21 04:50:24 This the the lower end market by the bus station. It was caught very early in the morning today so not fully manned. There is all local produce sold there most from small holding in Yambol and the local villages. some of the out of season food os driven up from Turkey or Greece, only a couple of hours drive from the south.

Car of Character 2008-07-20 14:59:01 This car is seen regularly in Yambol as I walk to and from the town centre. If I am quite honest if there was a choice of car I would love to own one of these rather than you big 4X4. It is cheap to run and oozes character. Don't you love it?

Giant Flowers 2008-07-19 07:12:01 These just suddenly hit me as I walked by the big appartment blocks by the big dual carriageway. They must haved been two metres tall and planted by the aprtment block dwellers. They also find a space for flower and produce no matter where they live, this time in a public block of grass. I see them sometimes with used two litre beer bottles watering them.Nothing gets ruined here by vandals, its so Read more:Flowers
Yambol's Cobblestoned Roads 2008-07-19 00:23:01 Typical cobblestone made roads of Yambol with a big arching cambers. The ill-fitted drain and huge potholes are all part of the unique character of these roads. Furthermore, the number of accidents with pedestrian is negligible due to cars having to go at a snails pace.

North Road Junction 2008-07-17 18:00:01 The Junction
looking westward. I have spent much time watching cars jump red light here! Turn left and you head towrds Benkovski a well known gypsy ghetto, (its not that bad, been there a few times). turn right and you head toward the town centre, straight ahead is the hospital and the road behind to Sliven a bigger and more posh town north of Yambol.I live 400 metres from this junction

"The Riders" Van 2008-07-17 11:56:28 You've seen "The Riders
" cafe headquarters in a previous picture. now we have "The Riders" van parked across the road on the pavement as most cars and vans are in Yambol.It is a bread and butter phenomenon that bikers are always blessed with art skills, look at the art work on that van!Again, these bikers are very nice chaps just out to express themselves in their hobby, they quite often have a co
Yambol Fire Engine 2008-07-17 01:40:01 Yambol fire engines are old but extremly well looked after. Before now I had been shown around the fire station, the firemen are very friendly and all local heroes.This picture was taken today as I passed the station once again just after it had been cleaned. (It is cleaned everyday!)Want to know more about the Fire Station read this link: new-bulgarian-fire-engines

Kabile Hotel 2008-07-14 06:44:51 Today I was passing the Kabile Hotel
, only built last year. It is a prominent feature in this part of Yambol town centre. It has been said that it is mafia owned, that's all I will say on the matter from fear!I went to the Hotel restaurant once last year, can't afford to very often, the food was very good but the service was at a snail's pace which spoilt it somewhat. pity. But then the Bulgarian
Yambol BikeTop Box 2008-07-13 05:36:32 I love bicycles, they come in all shapes and sizes, I caught this one just at random with a typical top box carrier. I bike here is as popular as it has every been and it is a shame these old bikes are being replaced slowly with heavy, cheap and characterless mountain bikes, which incidentally aren't real mountain bikes!Want more on Yambol bicycles?

New Bulgaria Wall 2008-07-12 04:57:08 A new bulgarian wall was being repaired in Yambol town, done of course very much in the Bulgaria
way. The construction is a work of art in itself. All this on a public street that remians untouched as there isn't any crime in these town areas. tis will be standing for a week for the concrete to set and will remain as it is.I love this place, there are hundreds of little things that are so interest
A Yambol Lotto Shop 2008-07-11 23:22:00 One of the many Sport Lotto shops based around Bulgaria's Yambol town. this one is run by Galia's friend Dora. It is like Kew Gardens inside with all the plants Dora maintains. It is her home from home!
Another Bank 2008-07-11 10:47:18 Another new bank in Yambol, they are breeding fast and making Yambol become a sterile town without character. This bank was a lovely street cafe a few weeks ago!A fuller story on this can be found here.Monster Banks in Yambol
The Riders Cafe 2008-07-11 10:46:32 In Yambol there is The Riders

Market Mural 2008-07-09 07:16:25 Next to the market at the high end of Yambol is an interesting mural symbolising Yambol's past.Yambol of course means 'Big Eat' and some of the figures characterise farmers who do so well here.

Yambol Buses 2008-07-06 03:18:08 One of many buses that fly through the potholed streets of Yambol. Notice the curtain that are hanging fro the wndows to give shade from the sun in the summer and keep warm in the winter. These buses are always full and that good.

Approach to Yambol Bazaar 2008-07-04 03:17:31 This is the lower Yambol market next to the bus station.

The cobblestone road is a typical style of road in Yambol, this one being in much better condition than most.

Litter Bins in Yambol 2008-08-11 00:34:01 I found a couple of litter bins in Yambol today. they are situated just outside the town centre in the park grounds of the church but use by Bulgarian walking past the road adjacent. They aren't new but well used, looked after and respected. they look new because they had just been recently painted. They may be only litter bins but oh how refreshing it is to see such a site in perfect condition!36 Read more:Litter
The Dublin Bar - Yambol 2008-08-10 00:27:01 This is the popular Dublin
Bar in Yambol, frequented by many English here, in fact the central meeting point of British expatriates once a month. The reason? The food is mainly deep fried, the staff all speak English and the theme is Irish which is close enough to be a home from for most Brits. A 'Little Britain' right in the heart of Yambol. I personally avoid the place like the plague, for the s
Yambol Delivery Van 2008-08-09 00:22:01 A delivery van in Yambol centre, notice the bulgarian parking here, one car on the pavement the van side on to the kerb, normal in Yambol. These vans are full of character and should have names like Ivan or Hristo as they have personality. Unlike the white transit van brigade - YAWN!365bulgarianadventuresbulgarianslivatree.comtherakiasite.comdoshforu.com

Yambol Newspaper Stand 2008-08-08 00:17:14 A newspaper stand stands abandoned in the centre of Yambol. No doubt it was the four hour break at lunchtime when this picture was taken today; or there wasn't any news in Yambol today!365bulgarianadventuresbulgarianslivatree.comtherakiasite.comdoshforu.com
