Quilmes - the location, not the beer
Hi All, I'm considering a move to Argentina. If I do end up making it I'll be moving to Quilmes (just south of BA). Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the area and could give me an opinion on how it would be to live there. Thanks! Read More

EVERYTHING that we submitted to them had to be translated, notorized and for legal documents apostilled. It was an enormous pain in the butt. And I was giving them the originals! Read More
Dress Maker in Sofia by kaminoge
I'm looking to get a dress made in Sofia. I'm after recommendations for someone who can sew but who also speaks at least basic English so I can be clear about what I want. Any one got any tips?
Thanks. I wasn't looking for designer clothes. I ended up just getting the dress elsewhere. Read More

Buying wedding rings in Sofia by kaminoge
A bit obscure but the internet is always worth a try. I'm looking to buy 2 wedding rings in Sofia. Ideally I'd just like a regular jewelry shop... nothing super high end, where we could go to try on rings. We're after something pretty ...
kojidae thanks for the offer, if I find myself having to head out towards Pernik I'll contact you and get the details from you - I wouldn't go there just for this though. Presumably if there's someone in Pernik doing this then ... Read More

I've never had anything disappear. But getting it from customs (as a non-Bulgarian speaker) is a huge pain. It definitely puts me off ordering from outside of the EU. Read More

Do you have an issues with customs? I only ask because I've had horribe (and expensive) experiences with customs here taking things and then me having to take a lot of time and money to get them released. Read More

Well so would I if I was in the States... but it really would be a lot more convenient to buy it here if I could find a suitable place. Read More

Relocating to Sofia - Need practical infos about safety etc by Loca86
Hello everybody, my name Is Maria, I am Italian and I have just received a job offer from a gaming company located in Sofia. Before accepting ( the offer is pretty good) I do have some concerns and I hope you can help me with that. 1) First of ...
Hi, 1) Yes. Like any city you would use common sense but it's a pretty safe feeling city (I'm a single woman living alone). 2) Very easy. Especially in Sofia so many Bulgarians speak good English. A lot of labels etc are in English and I ... Read More
Relocating to Sofia. Some questions! by Flying_Dutchm
Hi all, Maybe you guys can help me with some questions I have. I'm relocating to Sofia in the coming months with my dog. Which area would you recommend me based on the following: Close to city centre. Safe, quiet and with shops around for ...
There's no river or natural lake in Sofia and, like pretty much every other country in the world, they're not going to be at all keen on your dog taking a swim in the fountains etc! As someone else mentioned Pancharevo Lake is not too far ... Read More
current rules to live in Bulgaria full time by annanirvanna
Hi looking for precise info on moving to Bulgaria (BG) & living there permanently. I am a 64 year old UK citizen receiving pensions. I left UK 8 years ago to live in Sinai Egypt where hubby studied & later worked in the diving industry. ...
I was beaten to it but basically I was just going to point out that since you're an EU citizen and Bulgaria (unlike Egypt or Thailand) is a member of the EU you will find it much easier to move here than you would to those places. You can pretty ... Read More

I cycle a lot here but honestly there's no way I'd do it with a baby along for the ride (if that's what you were planning to do). There's a big second hand bike market every weekend in the parking lot at Vasil Nevski stadium if you ... Read More
