Glad that you see what I saw.
True, and I should also add the element of respect.
People respecting and helping each other, that in my opinion, forms a strong and healthy society.

Also a sign of a prosperous one, because when people respect each other and help each other, businesses are good for people too, and not only for bringing profits to the shareholders.

It's a win-win and when more people travel around the world, they see it and try to implement it where they live.

So sooner or later, Bulgaria will be there too, or at least, on that road, hopefully!

Thank you! :)

People respecting and helping each other...

Well, that's the main issue here in my opinion. There is no respect and no mutual aid upon which to stand the foundation upon which society should be built. Yes, the people who come back, if they come back, are those torchbearers on whose shoulders rests all the hope of the people. But you know, there are also people here like me who have returned from abroad and have been literally crushed again by the terrible reality. I could not bring any torch, rather, I brought one, but it was quickly extinguished. So, not all torches endure and even hope is not that strong. I don't know why now I remember some words of some young Slovenians who had come to visit Bulgaria, I was with them in a disco in the capital when the bartender tried to cheat them on the bill and I will never forget the words of one boy - "is this your way of doing business?" They summed it all up.And I have to tell you that the anger I felt then has not changed until today, things have not changed much. And I don't believe they will change in the next few decades either.

I've seen some progress, but generally, it is almost the same, people change slowly, forty years needed? ;)

Years ago I was told by a foreigner that we are 50 years behind. But I think the years vary on the different issues maybe. In some respects, there may not even be a reach, no matter how many years pass.

I suppose you're right.
Also the progress is different in the different areas and regions of the country but that's normal and valid everywhere, I guess :)
