Off topic - whats on your mind? by SimCityAT
As with a lot of Forums, there are dedicated posts in which members can talk about anything. They generally are for just chit-chat and as the Bulgaria Forum has a high volume of participants it's about time it had its own. You still have to abide by ...

I'm a wuss when it comes to cold. Anything under 14C indoors makes me miserable, and 18 is preferred. Though that does feel warm when I come in after cutting firewood in winter! Read More

Does my rental contract have to be notarized by JuilaOui
In order to get the Residence Permit (Certificate) in Sofia, Bulgaria ? I am an EU citizen but my landlord lives overseas.Thanks for your feedback.Julia
My understanding from other posts on the forum about residency paperwork is that immigration lawyers may be able to assist with an address to use for registration. There will be a fee, of course, but it may be less hassle than trying to get the ... Read More

Back-up in case of a power cut is the main reason we have ours, including a cooking stove which it does appear for much of the year will be an expensive pot stand. We also use electric heaters.But yes, the petchkas can easily overheat the place, ... Read More

I hope it all works out well for them -- and you! I've had a very unsettled adventurous phases, interspersed with longer periods in one place. Now, all I want to do is be settled in one place and never travel again! Read More

I suspect every generation says the same thing!Though I do have concerns about AI dumbing people down, doing their thinking for them. Students will never learn to analyse what they read, critically think about it, and then synthesise their own ideas ... Read More

Hi Everyone, I see bulgaria Direct and Mowlem recommended, but what are peoples' thoughts about bulgaria property finder .co.uk and bulgarian property finder .com? The names are very similar so there something we should be aware of there?Also, which ...

I'm using those thermoelectric fans on both my petchkas, one standing on top of the stove and he other on the chimney pipe. My perception is that they help. It seemed that the temperature on the thermometer on the far side of the room went up faster ... Read More
