quote Bulgaria is very poor and the teachers earn a very low wage even by bulgarian standards. Teaching is not a well-paid job or looked upon as a job that should be well-paid. There are wild dogs and cats in many cities and towns and there are also many old ugly concrete buildings from the soviet era. The transportation network is poor and it is dangerous to drive - be careful when crossing the road. The people however are friendly and warm.

quote I think there are some downsides to every country where expats live but Bulgaria has a huge amount of pluses too. The history and the culture have made it worth while, and the people taking classes are eager to learn and are great students.
