Bulgaria vs Serbia

[rothaer]

Some nice photos of Serbia that I collected - medieval monasteries, fortresses, and natural sights

Your pictures have elevated my opinion of Serbia, thanks for them.

Bulgaria.

Because of the Black Sea coast, the pleasant topography and the partly very old cities and numerous historical sites. Besides this I think you can have a reasonable living in Bulgaria. People seem to me to be somewhat satisfied and relaxed.

Thank you.

As for natural sights, I posted mostly untouched nature - with forests, mountians, rivers.

But there are also a lot of very fertile, arable land in Serbia.

This is typical enviroment in my surrounding:





Sow any seed here, it will sprout abundantly and give rich yields.

My house is about 3 km from Danube. Both photos are familiar to me.

Bulgaria.

Not a foe, and a Black Sea coast is a plus (I hear it's nicer than Romanian). I find Bulgarian culture interesting. They are south Slavs like us, but kind of exotic and eastern European like.
Mentality wise they are different from other south Slavs, way quieter and tougher at the same time.
Also beautiful nature and mountains.

I'd like to visit Bulgaria.

Bulgaria for historical reasons.

[Russki]

Bulgaria is too close to Turkey

That's it.

The final argument.

That's it.

The final argument.

But funny enough, to you as Russian Bulgaria will be most homely like and familiar out of all south Slavic countries.

Bulgarian language unlike Serbian (and Russian) is lack of cases, and unlike Serbian belong to Balkan sprachbund https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkan_sprachbund
Still somehow, Bulgarian has more Russian like vibe than Serbian to me. Btw dialect of my ancestors in pure form has more matches with Russian than Serbian standard, regardless it is close to Serbian standard.
Most Russian like south Slavic language ever was probably Slavonic-Serbian, artificial language used by the Serbian elite in Vojvodina in part of 18th and 19th century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavonic-Serbian

Yeah coast is real nice but its Black Sea, colder and harder to swim (less salty) than Med Sea.
