Imagine a holiday composed of tasty food, bright lights, gambling for all ages and gifts galore! No, I am not talking about Las Vegas Day, but Chanukah, commencing on December 15 for eight crazy nights. Known traditionally as the Festival of Lights, Jews around the world will join their families and friends to commemorate the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem by Judah Maccabee in 165 BC by feasting on latkes
Poised, passionate and ambitious, Ivan Gerginov has the challenging task of managing the newly formed not-for-profit organisation, Bulgarian Energy Efficiency Fund (BgEEF), as its first-ever executive director. A native Sofian, Gerginov returned to Bulgaria in October 2005 to take part in this new endeavour. With a background in corporate finance, and having worked in Bulgaria, the United Kingdom and
A classic Saturday Night Live skit I watched back in the States featured Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell as the Butubi brothers, two guys always trying to get into the hip nightclub known as The Roxbury.

BULGARIA is home to a multitude of football maniacs. I label them "maniacs" simply because these people epitomize the "true fan." Their allegiance affects their everyday life, from social interactions to their very wardrobe.
A melodramatic love story set in a railway station, where Vera, a waitress, and Platon, a pianist, first meet, is the premise for the Russian classic "Railway Station for Two," directed by Eldar Ryazanov. It was also the inspiration for two Bulgarian actresses to establish the most delightful Russian restaurant, just a half block away from Dundukov and Rakovski Street.
