What about Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is a small country, only 1 10000 square kilometers, and people's income is also very low, but most people have pets: dogs, cats, Dutch pigs and so on. Pets have a high status in the family. They have special rooms, special tableware and special time to go out every day.

In the park or on the street, you often see such a picture: a petite beauty followed by a majestic hound; The rickety old man is leading a lovely pug. Pets have also brought many business opportunities to businesses. Animal shops can be seen everywhere in the street. Pets have everything from eating, wearing and using utensils to dazzling array. Bulgarians treat their pets like their own children. Humorous Bulgarians often point to their dogs and say to me, "This is my grandson." Or: "There are three people in our family: me, my wife and our dog." Another time, I went to class with a Bulgarian friend and saw a sick dog lying on the side of the road. At that time, it was already dusk. My friend said that if the dog was not sent to the hospital, it would freeze to death at night. In order to save the dog, this friend missed a class.

Pigeons and sparrows in the street are never hurt, and people often buy bread to feed them. Bulgarians don't like people who hurt animals. Once, when I was shopping with a friend, I saw a pigeon wandering into the window of the shop, so I kindly told the shop attendant. The waiter came out and we tried to help the pigeons go astray, but the pigeons misunderstood us and ran into each other in panic. An old man who passed by misunderstood our kindness and shouted angrily at us, "You can't treat small animals like this!" " "

When I was working in Bulgaria, the local people often asked me indignantly, "I heard that you people in China often kill dogs to eat. Is this true? " I have to defend myself again and again.

Bulgarians love nature, scenery and countryside. Although most people live in big cities, they have their own villas in the countryside, in the mountains or by the sea. However, these villas are not luxurious, and most of them are just ordinary houses. On weekends or holidays, they drive away from the noise of the city and fully enjoy nature. The forest coverage rate in Bulgaria is around 30%, and it is lush everywhere. Even in the downtown area of the capital Sofia, there is a large forest. People who have been busy all day can go in in the evening, enjoy the tranquility of nature, listen to birds singing in the wind, and watch the fallen leaves floating.

Bulgarians also like climbing mountains. Last April, we climbed Mount Victoria. In early spring, there was more than a foot of snow on the top of the mountain, and we young people were still shouting cold in leather clothes. At this moment, an old man came in front of us, wearing only shorts, and we were all shocked. The old man told us leisurely that he is 70 years old this year and comes to climb mountains every week. Looking at the old man's distant back, none of us shouted cold again.

In summer, young people like to climb mountains together. They brought tents and food. Several people went into the beautiful mountains together, climbed mountains during the day, camped at night, surrounded the fire, drank and chatted, which was very pleasant. This kind of climbing will last for a week or two, and then I am reluctant to go back to the big city.

Bulgarians generally don't work overtime on weekends in order to earn more money. They think that weekends are time for rest, and they should be with their families or friends. Everyone likes to get together with friends in cafes, and they also like to hang out in cafes when they have nothing to do. Some people are addicted to alcohol and often drink highly alcoholic liquor such as vodka and whisky. Sometimes they will stay in the bar all day, drinking and chatting.

Bulgarians generally don't save money. When they get paid, they will indulge in consumption and go to restaurants and dance halls. Only when the money is spent almost, will they stay at home honestly and wait for next month's salary.
