Какво мислите за България и защо?

Тук една наша сънародничка хвърля гръм и мълнии върху тези чужденци, които говорят за страната ни без да знаят нищо за нея! Нека видим за какво става въпрос.

Въпросът - Please give your opinion of what you think of Bulgaria and why?
Описание ( I just dont get it? Are most of the people so negative about Bulgaria?Were you born there?
I just finished reading some comments on Bulgaria and i am actually pist off(this not only pissed me off but made me cry).How come people make such objective opinion when in fact they really dont have a clue what they are talking about.Bulgaria is poor the one said.They steal the other one said.They dont speak English third one said.Only few people that really have some knowledge had to say normal things.I am Bulgarian neither i steal neither i am poor and in fact got degree and my husband family is English.So nothing against but explain why so horrible unfair things are said?Please give your opinion of what you think of Bulgaria and why .How well you think you know.I will be also very happy if there is any other bg people to tell everybody how they feel?Thanks... )

Отговор : I am Greek and I have very positive attitude towards Bulgarian people. Bulgaria brings to my mind a beautiful church (I think it is called Alexander Nevsky) in Sophia and roses (southern Bulgaria I think). Also a famous convent/monastery(?) (Rilla?) It is true that Bulgaria is considered a less wealthy state than western European states but nobody blames the Bulgarian people but communism (some counties are considered to have cultures of laziness). And even if some Greek people consider Bulgaria less wealthy they often characterize it as cultivated like other eastern European countries. I remember when I visited Italy many people told me to be careful because many people there steel. Stupid stereotypes don't meen anything. Even positive stereotypes are sometimes stupid.
Here are some stereotypes that will make you understand that stereotypes about Bulgarian people aren't something special.
So, for Greek people:

Italians steel
French are dirty and they don't shower much
English males are gay
Arabs and perhaps Mexicans are lazy
Dutch people are drug addicts
Scandinavian females are sex maniacs
For the rest of the world Greeks are pedophiles and so on with the stupidity

Positive stereotypes are also silly
All Italians are opera experts
All Eastern Europeans play chess and love ballet
All French are romantic
I hope that you get my point

Отговор : I know two Bulgarian girls my age, and my friend and I went to their house. The whole family was very nice.

Отговор : In fact we eat people :) raw
And yes, i steal, I can steal you girlfriend... (Whoever said we do)
C'mon guys
population only 8 mln. and we have 7.9 mln highly educated
btw. English is my fourth language, the young Bulgarians do speak, and who says the knowledge of English measure the person?

Отговор : I like Bulgaria very much, and I have no idea why someone would speak negatively about them?

Bulgarian food is not that good. I don't know why so many Bulgarians have this idea... kebapche and kiofte are greasy slabs of meat, shopska is 2 kinds of veggies with cheese (boring), banitsas are big and greasy. Bulgarian food is usually room temperature too. There aren't many options, grocery stores are usually small, fruits always have seeds and are usually unripe or rotten...
The people are normal, I don't see why they would be so much different from people from anywhere else. The country is on the poor side, not third world, but most places don't take credit cards, plumbing isn't that great... when I first got to Bulgaria it took me awhile to get used to the smell of piss. There are dogs and cats running around everywhere, which might add to the bad smell. The drivers are completely obnoxious. They start and stop as fast as they can and don't look where they are turning. I don't like how shop attendants follow customers around, but I suppose this is their idea of customer service? It makes me feel like they think I'm going to steal.. People are generally friendly when you talk to them, and most know English. They generally don't give English speakers a chance to learn Bulgarian though. A couple Bulgarians got angry with me for trying to speak Bulgarian...
Btw, I lived in Bulgaria for 3 months.

To SpunkG:
I am a Bulgarian and I agree to many of your comments. Although, you have to agree that nobody dislikes the food they were used to :) To me Bulgarian cuisine is delicious. Except for your food comments - I completely agree. Cats and dogs are running around unchecked, drivers are a-holes, customer service in most places is sub-par. The last item is being improved the hard way, though - I am working for HP and I treat customers better than the outsources in Asia. We are slowly progressing to a capitalist environment - give us time :)
