The new world of the Balkans....

Once you survive to cross the Bulgarian borded BE AWARE that:

§ Be aware when people say YES (shake) and NO (nod) – most of the people do it like that !!!!!!!!!!!!!
§ Be aware of thieves, pick-pocketers; never leave you stuff out of sight, especially in public places such as transport, parks, bars and discos; don’t leave open any doors or windows of your dormitory when you are out.
§ Be careful with taxis – check the tariff on the windshield or on the back doors – should be around 0,59 lv daily and 0,79 lv night.
§ There ARE bed sheets in the rooms.
§ Have some small change when you arrive or be prepared to withdraw from an ATM or change at a bank or bureau cause you’ll need it for the transportation. Better at a Bank.
§ You can prepare a presentation about your country/university/town/interests which you’ll present here.
§ One ticket costs 1 lev for one journey and one transport. You can buy it from a kiosk or from the driver/ sometimes they don’t have or if they do you have to give them exact amount -1 lv/ or in trams there is a machine. Always validate your ticket otherwise if control comes they’ll give you a fine. To validate your ticket you have to put it inside the rectangular orange/metal machine/or a yellow validator in trams/ and punch the ticket out and make holes in it!
§ 1 euro=1,95583 leva
§ Be careful when crossing the streets as a pedestrian even the traffic lights for you are green and you are standing on a zebra.
§ When you change money always know - buy - 1 euro= 1,95583 lv – no less! And it’s better to go to a bank or to a recommended change.
§ Emergency phone number – 112 – police, ambulance, fire brigade, everything.
§ Country code here is +359 and city code - 02
