Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Returned from Bansko at the weekend - had the time of our lives. We've been going to Bulgaria for 4 years, first Pamps, then Bansko, then Boro and we've finally settled and returned to Bansko.

Without a doubt, our experiences have improved on each visit. But I do have one area of concern!!!!

A new Brit disease seems to have taken hold of the place - not binge drinking or hooliganism, but a whole new breed of anti-social behaviour that it putting our great country to shame. The rise of the uber nerd! Bars are beginning to fill with people crouched over laptops on facebook or MSN, telling people what a great time they are having whilst nursing a solitary pint for an hour and not talking to anybody else.

It is a sad enditement of our society that people are forgetting that the idea of a skiing holiday is to be active and involved, not lose yourselves in cyber-space.

The worst bit is the looks that are starting to happen from the locals. They don't think it's clever, they just think it's a bit weird. Mark my words, free wi-fi will end soon because these social recluses don't spend enough money at the bar.

The internet is great - I'm on it now, but there is a time and a place. If you are thinking of taking your laptop on holiday for any othet reason than keeping the kids amused, please think again!
