Night Walk Along the Danube River in Ruse

I just got back from a night walk to the Danube River - along the Ruse Pier. I took a couple of pictures and I think they turned out quite well, so I wanted to share them in a blog post. :) I used the 'Night' mode on my phone to…
Bulgarian Independence Day: A Walk Around Ruse

Bulgarian Independence Day: A Walk Around Ruse

On September 22 in 1908, Bulgaria formally declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in the city of Veliko Tarnovo. Until then, it had been an autonomous principality (since the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78 and the Treaty of Berlin), but the declaration made it a fully sovereign kingdom under Tsar Ferdinand I.…
Today's Dinner: Döner Bowl

Today’s Dinner: Döner Bowl

It's not an official meal, but maybe it should be! Today I warmed up a donor roll that I ordered yesterday and kept in the fridge. I simply unwrapped it and mixed it all together in a frying pan with some butter and coconut oil. After warming it up, I put…
Today's Dinner: Doner and Gyros

Today’s Dinner: Döner & Gyros

Although gyros and döner kebabs are similar, they have distinct differences in their meat, seasoning, and sauce. As if it wasn't obvious enough, I absolutely love döner - and I'm no stranger to gyros, either. Today I decided to order my dinner from a different place in Ruse, and I wanted…

Ohoho. TakeAway actually gave TWO discount codes. So I used one yesterday and one today! I ordered whatever the restaurant had on sale to keep the amount as low possible and then applied the discount code on top of it. So what I received was: 1x katma with pork, cheese and…
Charcoal Burger

Today’s Dinner: Charcoal Burger

I received a discount voucher for TakeAway so I decided to try something different! I've been seeing this black burger in the menu of my favorite restaurant and always wondered what it would taste like. So! I decided to make use of the voucher and ordered the burger (and my favorite…
Can You Spot the Kitty?

Can You Spot the Kitty?

While going for a walk a few days ago, I found this interesting - err - area with, well, trash. o.O I was here just a few months ago and there was actually a house and a garden. Not sure what happened and why, but there was a kitty enjoying the…
Ruse from West to East

Exploring Ruse from West to East

Today I went on an exploration across the city of Ruse, Bulgaria from West to East! The weather was largely very nice and sunny, although quite warm - around 26-28 degrees I would say. As you can see, I went to the scenic observation point again! Since it's spring now, the…
