[Traveling around Eastern Europe] Plovdiv
sitting on the stone on the top of Danov Hill, quietly watching the sun and the peak of the Balkans. The local girls next to each other took pictures and photographed each other. The little couple in the hiding place shyly kissed each other.
Plovdiv, elected as the European Capital of Culture in 2019, is said to have existed for 6,000 years and is one of the oldest cities in human history. I still prefer its name in ancient Greece - Philipopolis.
Plovdiv hosted a 30-year commemoration of the fall of the Berlin Wall, with murals and sculptures moving from the walls in the city centre. The small countries in Eastern Europe got rid of the Soviet Unions long-term leaders and joined the European Union, but they switched from one big brother to another big brother. After 30 years have passed, is the era without walls really free?
In the small park, I met the uncle of Greece who took the same train from Sophia. He felt that the city center of Plovdiv was too commercialized. He asked me if you know the difference between Tourist and Traveller? I smiled and said that I am both. If you havent traveled, how can you become a traveler?
