Romania vs. Bulgaria: where would you rather live for a year?

Romanian women swallow. They give awesome blowjobs

I'd love to visit the region, in general. But, I've never contemplated living in either country. So specific a decision would require (for me) a great deal of study, and contrasting. It's not something to be answered, as an essay question, on a message board.

I would think that a year (for the 4 seasons), in the Carpathian mountains would be a stunning visual, and environmental experience. But, there are urban, coastal and agricultural areas, as well.


Bulgaria abuts Turkey, so the current political climate might be a factor. Again, that would have to be subject to thought ... and, maybe the reading of tea leaves.

It's an interesting question. Are you thinking of making such a move? You must have a reason - probably a good one. I'm curious to know what it is.

Are you thinking of making such a move?

Yes. It's why I'm asking. I'm narrowing options down.

In what capacity would you be going? Student, writer, photographer, adventure? Something else?

After viewing some YouTube videos, I think I'd likely opt for Romania. That may be, in part, to the romance of the literary lure. But, your purpose for going would be a major factor. Check out those videos.

I would also look into what laws may govern "ex-pats," even temporary ones, in each country. There's one video of a young girl explaining why she chose to live in Bulgaria (I think she was from the UK). I'll see if I can find it.

Potentially going as an English teaching assistant for 9 months.

Great ... go for it! 

There's no way that you can ever be diminished by the experience.

Let us know, as things unfold.
