Lovely children! Educated and careful, considerate and amiable, studious, knowledgeable and curious. As a parent myself, I was lost in admiration of these wonderful kids and their tutors, who have achieved excellent results where lots of present-day parents fail.

Orient Express in Varna

The legendary train, described in the novel “Murder on the Orient Express”, by Agatha Christie, passed through Varna, announced a reporter from radio Focus. Orient Express arrived at Varna Railway Station with 100 passengers, yesterday afternoon and was expected by many welcoming people, mainly tourists from France and Germany, who had come to see their fellow-citizens. The guests stayed in the city for almost four hours. However, this summer, no tourists were allowed to board the train for a viewing tour. The reason for that was the fact that as the passengers pay an extremely high price for this VIP trip, it wouldn’t be pleasant for them to be disturbed. This year the train set off from Vienna and through Budapest, Bucarest, Varna and Kapakule will end the tour in Istanbul.

Madonna Rocks Sofia for 2 h in Biggest Concert on Bulgarian Soil

  August 30th, 2009

US pop star Madonna rocked the Bulgarian capital Sofia Saturday night from 10 pm until 12 am in her first ever concert in Bulgaria.

Some 60 000 fans filled the Vasil Levski Stadium in downtown Sofia in what is the largest musical event of its kind to ever take place on Bulgarian soil.

The concert started shortly after 8 pm and the crowd was warmed up with various disco beats and mixes for about an hour.

Instead at 9 pm as advertised earlier, Madonna appeared on stage at about 9:55 pm. In the one hour before that the eager fans entertained themselves with more than 150 audience (so-called Mexican) waves.

Madonna’s amazing show that the 60 000 Bulgarians and foreigners saw in Sofia featured a look-alike of Michael Jackson, performing the famous moon walk. The King of Pop who died at the end of June 2009, would have celebrated Saturday, August 29, 2009, his 51st birthday.

In addition to her top hits, Madonna’s concert also included messages for religious tolerance and civic activism - something to which the Sofia audience responded with great cheers and enthusiasm.

One of the more provocative moments of the concert was when Madonna French kissed another woman - one of the dance performers on the stage.

Despite the concert’s truly exciting atmosphere the audience failed to summon Madonna for any curtain calls after the huge screens on the 85-meter long, 40-meter high stage said “Game Over”.

A total of 450 security personnel - the largest such number ever employed in Bulgaria for a single event - were in charge of keeping Madonna’s concert in Sofia in order; police were largely not visible until the very end of the show when they helped regulated the exits and the routes to the closest public transport and subway stations. No accidents have been reported during the concert.

Biggest Shopping Mall in Bulgaria Opens Doors in Varna

  July 16th, 2008

mall-varna-front.jpg

Varna’s Mayor Kiril Yordanov and Krasimir Uzunov, Executive Director of Mall Varna cut the ribbon and officially opened the biggest shopping centre in Bulgaria in mid June.

The official ceremony began at 11 am in the presence of Varna’s Deputy Regional Governor, the Chair of Varna’s Municipal Council and many Varna residents. His Highness, Right Reverend of Varna and Veliki Preslav Kiril consecrated the newest and most modern commercial and shopping complex in Bulgaria.

Varna’s Mayor stated that the quick construction of the Mall on two of Varna’s major thoroughfares and the upcoming opening of the expanded “Hristo Smirnenski” Boulevard was a prime example of good collaboration between private business and the municipal administration of the city.

The parking area with 800 parking spaces was able to accommodate the many Varna residents who came to see their city’s newest attraction.

Mall Varna has a total built-up area of 70 000 square meters, including 33 000 square meters of commercial space. Its 150 stores have already been contracted for the maximum period of ten years. Brands such as New Yorker, Camper and Burger King will be represented for the first time in Bulgaria.

The mall in Bulgaria’s Sea Capital will also have a children’s center named Capella Play, an ice skating facility called Avangard Ice, Excalibur Bowling, pool, as well as the first “Arena” movie theater in the city with 1300 thousand seats over eight movie theaters and a 3D cinema.

The facade of the five-storey building of Mall Varna will be illuminated by a unique light show changing color every thirty minutes.

Mall Varna was constructed by the Bulgarian Interservice Uzunovi Jsc. In the fall of 2007 it was bought by the Scottish company, Miller Developments, a subsidiary of Miller Group.

The price of EUR 120 M was a record for the purchase of a commercial centre in Bulgaria. This is also the second largest real estate deal in the history of the country.

The willingness of foreign firms to invest in the area bodes well for land and property values in Varna and serves as further proof of the rapid and ongoing development of the region.
