Oh my God, the moment when you said "Yay we found chocolate milk" and I saw you holding a bottle of "boza". Priceless :D
Honestly, you have to be a Bulgarian to love this s^it, every country has its own weird food/drink :)
I was in Sofia for 6 years and never did i dare to even try boza :)) Though i miss many street foods such as duner, shish touk, falafel, banitsa, princes s kashkaval etc. which we don't really get in India.
Pf I am Bulgarian and i hate boza

Bulgarians created the yoghurt, so don't wonder why the "'famous" Greek youghurt in USA is not that good compare to ours. Always the original is the best. Hope you had fun here, thanks for the nice video! :)
Thanks for watching our video!
@@Peregrination You're welcome! Thanks for the nice video.
@@user-rc1vr6jv7c Hahah. You are funny! Yoghurt is Bulgarian, and it is very famous in Japan, we sell them the original - our youghurt. The yoghurt is created by the proto-bulgars, centuries before establishing Danube Bulgaria here. Our influence into Greek cuisine is the yoghurt. World knows about the greek yoghurt because of the greek emigrants in USA, the commercials e.c. While we were under the terrible communist regime and behind the Iron curtain there was no chance to make a commercials or import our yoghurt worldwide. We were not trading with so called west, as you probably know. After one of Todor Zhivkov's (our dictator at that time) trips to Japan in the 1960s at the Japanese Expo, we offered the Japanese our yoghurt. That was possible because of the speciall order from Todor Zhivkov, who said "Yes" to import our lactobacillus bulgaricus for the Japanese, which still love it! So because we needed a new technology at that time, the Japanese imported their stuff here, but this time with a special approve from the USSR. So in this example you can see how dificult is to trade with non-communist countries. Japan was an exception. So it's not important what the most countries know, it's important to read the books and history and then to learn the truth. For example - most of the world knows that the Cyrillic alphabeth is Russian, but that's not the truth. We have created the Cyrillic 2-3 centuries before the establishing of Russia. So if the Russians had a time machine they may say that the alphabeth is theirs. So what I mean is - read and learn, don't say "the world knows" because not always the world knows the truth. World know commercials...Education is important, and yes, eat your "replica" something, which is not real yoghurt. Have a good day.
Ivo Petrov your alphabet has even been created by Cyrillus and Methodius who were Greek . You can search it in Wikipedia or wherever you want and it will say that they are Greek . I think that because of communism you are brainwashed for somethings and I am so sad to tell this but unfortunately you are brainwashed and I can’t do anything else but only to say you that I am so sorry about you and your life
@@user-rc1vr6jv7c Yes, Wikipedia is the best place to look for the truth. Not the books. Don't read books they are radioactive! I'm really worried about your life. The brothers are Bulgarian, not greek. If they were Greek why don't we use the Greek alphabeth?! But you think everithing is Greek. Probably for you Napoleon is Greek, too. Not French. Even my name is probably Greek! I feel so sad for people that are not educated...it's under my level to continue this conversation. Be free to think everything you want. I don't care about your opinion. You haven't give me even one clear argument. Arguing with people like you is pointless. Also I don't think to spoil anymore the nice video that the nice people made with answering your untruth and pointless comments. Have a good day!
I'm happy that you believe it's really cheap, but actually for Bulgarians Sofia is one of the most expansive cities in Bulgaria. And believe me 2 soups with bread for 9 leva is a scam!
total scam :D in my local place a big bowl of soup is 2 leva haha

@Joseph Joestar I guess it's not that bad😂😅

yes, it does. In my office we are 250 people, out of whom 60 % are Germans, French, Spaninsh, Italians & Poles. And yes, they do take the same salaries as Bulgarians. Only r*tarded village people & Gypsies, who never lived in a foreing country or even left their muddy village, think that Bulgaria is a worse place for living than the Orwellian dystopian Western paradise.
The simplicity, the history, the architecture, the vibe of the city ... it’s irresistible
Lmao, when you live in Bulgaria everything is different, for you maybe it's cheap, but for us everything is so expensive

Seriously, it surprised us! If you're on a strict budget, Bulgaria is a great place to visit.
Seriously, life is so hard in this sorry country
That is a drink and it is called "BOZA" it is found also in the middle east, it is made with wheat and sugar, it is slightly fermented so there is probably like 1% alcohol or less. I am Bulgarian and I used to hate the taste of Boza, but now that I am older I actually love it. It goes nice with ice cream and with Breakfast Banitsa.
Wow!! Ok, so it is a drink! After tasting it I was concerned that maybe it was something to cook with?? But, thats great news! Haha it was very interesting, definitely something to get your taste buds used to! Thanks for sharing this information!!
Banitsa - feta cheese pastry.
Waittt whattt :D Ice cream and boza? That sounds really weird. :D
But Boza and Banitsa with cheese is the perfect combination.
Boza zavinagi

8:35 You don't say 50 lev in this case, you say 50 stotinki, which is half a lev (1 lev equals 100 stotinki, the same way 1 dollar is 100 cents)

Thank you for your kind words & for watching our video!
*IMPORTANT FOR BOZA*
The cheap one is usually made with crappy ingredients (to Noones surprise), however it is sweeter too. I suggest looking for harmonica, they make bio products. Banitza is a MUST, there are many shapes and fillings. For first try I suggest the flat one with white cheese.
I'am from Bulgaria, Sofia!!! 🤩🤩💋

Thank you. You said it right! I'm sick of foreigners' positive opinions. Since they don't live here, they have no right to state what life looks like in BG.
ikr
They are stating it from their prospective and it's not their fault that we have a f*cked up sh*tty a** economy.
2:20 You should know that there is even a cheaper way to travel with the public transportation in Sofia. You can buy a daily ticket that is good for the whole line of public transportation in the city, you can get on as many buses, metros and so on, without having to buy any other tickets. It costs only 4.00 BGN and it saves you a lot of money. More tourists should know about that as the daily tickets aren't really shown anywhere, unless you know they exist. Great video guys, glad you like it here in Sofia/Bulgaria.
Sofia is amazing and there is so much to do. I'm from Bulgaria but living in Australia atm and definitely have to say there is more to do in Bulgaria and the social life there is amazing and never stops. I hope u visited some cafes and restaurants and clubs out of the tourist areas they're so good and cheap and fun. Also the live music in restaurants is incredible ♥️
We Love Sofia! Thank you for your helpful information!
Thanks guys, great video - I thoroughly enjoyed it! Hope you enjoyed your stay (and the boza, which you should drink with banitza).
Bulgarian here!
I live in Montana, about 130km away from Sofia and I can tell you that for Bulgarians it is not cheap at all when you consider that the average salary in Sofia is about 800-900BGN = 454-510USD
I am from Bulgaria and I love my country. I'm am from the small west north part of Bulgaria-town Vidin.

In your next time in Bulgaria you would to go to Nessebar. A small town on the coast of the Black Sea. There is an old part who is in UNESCO. Old part is on a peninsula. The new and the old part are connect with isthmus. On the isthmus there is a windmill. There are many landmarks. There are 44 churches but only one is working other are museums. In the new part there are sandy beaches and dunes. Next to Nessebar is the famous summer resort Sunny Beach.
8:29 this drink is called "boza". It's made from fermented wheat and combines great with borek which we call "banitsa"
Viktor Stamenov 😂😂😂

8:33 this is boza. In Bulgaria we have 3 national drinks - rakiya (you should try it), airyan/айрян and boza). Many people don’t like it but I thinks it’s delicious!

Thank you that your so possitive and not haters that dont like new places. Im from Bulgaria and I love people like you. I was in USA this year and found that american people are very veryyy kind to me and my friends. And I was in many towns from Washington to Chikago. I loved it. Next year I will be in Florida to see more from your country. Thanks again and next time check the list of “100 national objects” and see as many as you can. You will love it for sure :)
Thank you for your kind words and we are glad Americans treated you well! Thanks for watching our video!
Great, I am glad you like my home town! I miss it a lot. There is so much history and cultural landmarks.
The minimum wage in Bulgaria is around 600lv for a mount. Is it still cheap? Imagine if you have rent,bills,and you have to go shopping with the rest of the money,if they are any left...Bulgaria is almost on the last places at the economic,is at the edge of misery,unfortunately.
9:00 His name is BOSA, and it's mainly water and sugar, and yeah it make you go to the bathroom if you drink to much (sorry for bad English)

@@PeregrinationAhahahah, yes I understand you completely, I also got used to it recently, and I've been drinking it for years, I don't know if it can help you, but I like to drink it slightly fresh
the BOZA is traditional Bulgarian drink but the most of the bulgarians dont like it :)))
Im from middle europe. I was in Sofia this year, i have enjoyed it a lot. Especially the very nice people i met. I don't want to mention the "cheap topic", i can imagine how people are fed up with this when living there. Its so unfair people from eastern/south eastern Europe has such a low salary ☹️
The biggest reason we have low salary is bacuse u westerners have big salary. Do u get it?
That strange drink is called Boza.

It's "budget friendly" for the tourists, but in the sad reality citizens are struggling, because the aravage sallary here is around $650 a month.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is it?
@@cocotaveras8975 It's a beverage made of wheat/other cereals which have been boiled, blended and sweetened. It may sound gross but it's actually very refreshing. 🙂

the drink is said like "BO Za" it's a wheat drink. It's super gross but my bulgarian wife loves it.
Gunther Gunderson it’s not gross. Actually it’s almost like beer. It’s basically fermented wheat that is slightly alcoholic and it has a lot of good enzymes for your stomach

Sometimes I love arian and boza
8:26 This is Boza like the Bulgarian mystery drink. A lot of Bulgarian peoples likes this, but people's from other countries sometimes likes, sometimes no. Very good video!
Thank you for watching!
I am from Sofia and i didnt know that it is the oldest city. I just understand from your video.
Thanks i didnt notice that is that cheaper than other countrees.

You really reminded me of best days in my life I've been there 6 years ago and it's same
OMG!!! I am from Bulgaria, thank you very much that you made a video for my city!
Okay I like how they think it is cheap just because the currency is different for them. I wish going to US can be like 5 lev = 10 dollars :D
Minimum monthly wage in Bulgaria is 315 USD, so guys its cheap for you, but not for us... :)
Thanks for visiting Bulgaria.It's small country,but here are beaches,mountains and culture landmarks that you can visit😂😁🤗
Hey guys I am so happy that you are having fun here in Sofia. It was a huge plesure to hear all this kind words abou my city. Be my gest and next time when you are here I can show you another interesting things 🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for the love!
9 leva for 2 soups and 2 pieces of bread....LOL that's not even cheap
9 lewa is like 6,50 dollar
Hmmm the brownish drink that you guys bought is called “boza” is malt ,fermented drink made from wheat or millet. It has a low alcohol content from about a 1%. This is typical breakfast drink. One of the few things i really miss here in the states . Enjoy it 🥺
yooo, you guys are awesome, such a possitive, lovely couple, deffinitely subscribing, keep it guys!!

Public transport one-way ticket actually costs about a dollar - 1.60lv which is slightly less than $1. But 1 day pass costs just 4 lv ($2.30) and gives you unlimitted access to all public transportat throughout the day- metro, buses, trams and trolleys.
Going from city center to Vitosha Mountain is cheap but relatively time consuming. You'll have to change one or two bus lines plus a lift line taking you up to the peak (2194m). You can get two different lifts in Dragalevtsi and Simoenov districts. Take bus N64 to Dragalevtsi or Bus 98/67 to Simeonovo. Once in Dragalevtsi or Simeonovo there will be signs for Lift's direction. You won't regret the views and time spent on the mountain! Plus, there are two or three bistro's at the last lift station.
someone probably already pointed this out but those buses with cables are called trams.
Next time don't even think about soup buy duner and rakia
8:22 This drink is called buza.
The more you know.
:)
Добре ,защо снимат в църквата?
yeah the prices are good but in bulgaria the minimum payment is 600lv so an average person will make atleast 1300lv you can't live with those kind of money and if you have kids oh boy
Dang. I’m from Bulgaria and EVERY single day I think that it’s one of the most shity places you could live in , and now after seeng this I look at it from the nicer angle.
It is shitty because of the wages
Cheap for you expensive for us great reference! :D ;)
Hahahah that moment when you first try Boza (Боза ) :) . Even for Bulgarians you either love it or hate it. And a good one is hard to find in grocery shop - it should be sweet and sour at the same time. If it's too sweet it's shit. Still, we like to give it to foreign people, because the reaction is always priceless :)

Plovdiv, the second biggest city in Bulgaria is 153 cm south east and it is inhabited for 8000 years now and has 4 hills! And amazing mountain views and even cheaper prices.
If you ever go back to Bulgaria, make sure you visit Plovdiv. It’s way more beautiful than Sofia and it’s one of the top 10 oldest cities in the world!
yea and ubelivable salaries

Please go to Varna next time guys, but summer time, anytime between June-August. You will fall inlove. No doubt about it ;) I know it's about 13h flight but it worth the price :) That drink you've tryied is called ''BOZA'' and very often people in Bulgaria drink that while they eat any of them savory snacks you bougth from the sub way.
P.S. The word yogurth can be used only if the product is made here in Bulgaria just like you can't name any fizzy wine ''Shampagne'' if it's not made in the Shampagne region of France.....Yogurth can only be produced on Bulgarian teritory because here is where the ''bacilicus bulgaricus'' can be found naturally in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals living in Bulgaria. The bacterium is also grown artificially in many countries. :)
that drink you picked up is called boza and you usually drink it with banitsa. i personally hate it but a lot of bulgarians love it
