Bulgaria: Zheravna + Sliven

Zheravna

Zheravna, the small village of Kotel only attracted Bulgarian tourists. I saw the blue blue sky in the daytime and thousands of twinkling stars in the night time. The village on the mountain slope was quiet and peaceful. Horses, goats and sheep kept your company.

I saw this little boy splitting woods, but he seem impolite

They were playing bubble

Peaceful street


I attended a Sunday Service at a Kotel’s gypsy church. This was my first time to meet gypsy. However, none of them can speak English but I can feel the love of Jesus Christ among them.
Gypsy has a bad reputation in Europe. They are complained for dirtiness (it can be proven by the residents area which was full of rubbish especially the river), drinking (it seem to be true that many sisters have drinking and irresponsible husbands) and unemployed / lazy. Nevertheless, brothers and sisters that I met in church were friendly. The limited communication via gesture were warm especially the mama (the leader of the church), she was so kind, warm and full with love. She invited us for tea and cookies, we can’t understand each other though; she froze at the street to say goodbye to us; she gave us a pile of woods since the weather was getting cold…hug us with her warm smiles….

Sliven
Leather products in Bulgaria were cheaper than Malaysia. I have bought a pair of leather shoes only RM 38. There were multi choices you can find in Silvia walking street. Never rush to buy but compare the price shop to shop
