You don’t waste your time sitting and waiting for the government to fix your issues. You’re hard working, intelligent and find solutions. Bulgarians need to watch your videos and realise that we don’t live in a communist country anymore. And they should stop abounding their homes cus “there’s no jobs, no anything”. Can’t wait to watch you on Channel 4 ❤

Hello beautiful family and welcome to Bulgaria. I recommend you not to buy from Kaufland and the other big chain stores or at least not everything. Everything there is terrible and full of chemicals, it is not healthy especially for your beautiful children. There are many manufacturers the villages of homemade clean vegetables, fruits, meat and dairy products in Bulgaria. Very clean and without chemicals in them. They are better than the so-called "bio" foods. Good luck and good health.
@the_phoenixproject

As a Bulgarian I can say our government/administrative offices are awful, the level of service is poor, and clerks are quite rude. In general, customer service is lacking, even if you're a paying customer. It's nice now that most things can be done online so you don't have to deal with them. But it's just something you gotta get used to, and realize it's not personal, they are just grumpy and mean like that.

Hello! I just found your channel läßt night and cant stop watching. You just grew on me! İ am from Veliko Tarnovo, but moved to Wales. I do know how hard it is to live in the bulgarian country side - everything groß from everywhere, sometimes it is very cold or very hot but i do know it is worthy. I just wanted to say - as a mother who also rase her child alone in foreigh country it is very very difficult. So, you probably know but i think it is worth mentioning the childcare in Bulgaria is free, like completely free and i have friends in VELIKO Tarnivo and I know there are good burseries. I understand you want them to grow out doors but a day or two will give mama some time, because Mama is also a person, plus they will make friends. Let me know if you want me to find more info for you. All the best guys! ❤️😊

Bulgarian houses aren't built the same as UK houses. Most have a natural stone foundation that moves with the earth. If the stone foundation looks solid and there's not too much movement then they are usually all good. Anthony's Dad is a builder by trade, so he checked the houses.

How did your bulgarian get so good? Do you go to classes? Also quick remark use the RU-vid editor to cut out the part with your Residency cards, your personal identification number is on the back so its okay, but the ID number is on the top right, without all the info its almost impossible to exploit but still I would advise to cut that part of the video. Sorry for your experience at the immigration office, your brave to go on your own😄I could never. The food prices are just the rich doing price speculation similar to how it was at the start of the war in Ukraine. 1L vegetable oil was 6lev(3euro) now its around 1euro. The whole reason why there is delay in Bulgaria joining te euro zone is its own politicians avoiding it. While the prices being the same as in the UK is okay bc Bulgaria does not use foreign cheap labor like the UK does.

Welp... I am gonna write a comment that might be a little bit odd. I don`t want you to take it in any way negative... Your combined living force as a unit is starting to give me eye sores. Now I did think of elaborating a bit further... but I were only gonna embarrass myself more. Kind of think of me *itching and moaning. Anyways I have a bit more to write... which came into my mind in the later portions of the video with the 2nd house and is a bit of a continuation of my initial impression that I have just shared. This property seems a bit of a "life force" drain. (I don`t want you to take this "term" I am using too seriously, is just a figure of speech, I assume you are getting what I mean). A bit of a large bite if you will. I think it took a lot of it`s previous owners and look at the condition they left it in still... Now of course Spring do make nearly everything look better... all that green and stuff, almost charming even, but the frames of the state inside... You probably will overcome it thou and will end up part of those eye blisters generating material :P. (I think blisters is a bit too much, so I avoided initially with using ~sores... but I also kind of wanted to type that word as well.) Once again, no actual bad feelings, just fooling around in the comments and with the words.
