Hi guys...great story! ... 2 Years ao the service at Boro's ski shack was so horirble and the guys behind the counter so rude. Then on the last day of the weeks they put out a tip box! So my buddy wrote Tip: "be friendly" on a piece of paper and put it in the box. Seriously though the Bulgarians come from an age of Communist rule where service did not exist. They should be made to realise that a big smile and hard work earns them more money than being slow and rude. Otherwise a great place.re: Boro Ski Shack Story :-)
thet were lovely,knew us from last year give me same boots and skis as last year.re: Boro Ski Shack Story :-)
I think they had so many years of not having much to smile about and being very wary, that they are having to learn how to and that they can relax.

now hang on a mo....communism ended 18 years ago in BG and only existed for 45 years befire that. Half the people alive in BG received no part of their education in the communist system and for those up to age 30 the only real memories they have are things like needing to have hard currency to buy kinder-eggs
The learning experience most of them have is the roller-coaster ride of cowboy free enterprise from the 90's with the rise of the mafia, banking collapse, loss of the middle classes ...

Add to all of this a sneaking admiration of the Russians (based upon a mistelling of 19th century history by 1970s party historians) and you will understand why it is always best to take a 'buyer beware' attitude to anything you encounter in BG (just as the locals do) and that includes geeza's trying to rent you ski equipment
