Bulgaria After 13 years whats it like now?

HI guys ,, Girl's.

After going to Borovets and pamprorvo some 13 years Ago How much have the ski resorts Changed.
Can you still exchange money with the hotel waiters and bribe them for a larger dinner plate, is there still a black market? last time i bought some swiss ski's from a taxi drivers boot also have the lift systems been upgraded over the years, finally what sort of lift Q ing can i expect, Mainly at pamporovo as will be a beginner agian learning to snowboard

Cheers.

Things have changed greatly.
1. It is not recommended that you change your money other than at hotel receptions or banks unless you get to know your waiter well.
2. Lifts are being upgraded all the time.
3. Taxi drivers are still as mad as ever.
4. Night life in Pamps is still brilliant, but a bit dearer than when you were last there.
5. Qing for the lifts can be quite slow at peak holiday times!

Anything else, just ask!

I was there myself a fair number of years ago ... Albena in 1988 or 1989. It's a different world now, no 'currency' shops where only tourists could enter, nobody trying to buy your jeans, no lifeguards giving you triple the amount of lev for your sterling, and now there's no enormous measures of vodka for 10p!
