11. I decided to eat brunch at a restaurant in a small town.

12. I took a picture while eating chicken dishes with Bulgarian yogurt. Pepper powder and garlic vinegar are used usually as a sauce in Bulgarian restaurant. They suit to my taste. I ordered garlic dish separately.

21. There are quite a lot of statues and busts on the streets in this country. They are important people in this country history.
In our country, it would be better to place the statues of independent movement fighters in the streets rather than gathering them in the park. Then, citizens meet them and get to know them in daily life.

22. It looks like a signboard of a private academy.

23.

24. I picked up ice cream when I went to the mart to buy water, and I thought ice cream would be delicious because the dairy industry developed in this country, but it is a good taste.

26. If these high-voltage lines pass, the forest will be damaged.

27. Walking, I think about the only one nuclear power plant in Bulgaria.

28. Bulgaria’s nuclear power plant is two reactors at the site of Kozloduy, downstream of the Danube River.

The life span has been extended recently.

29. As a result, there are many nuclear power plants along the Danube River basin.

30. Nuclear power plants in eastern Europe are largely cooled by the Danube River.

31. And it flows into the Black Sea.
While I was passing through Turkey, I and my friends had heard about the hazardous radiation problem in Black Sea from the victim of the scene.
