National Library "Kiril & Metodiy"

Sveti Georgi Church (something like St. George)

So much for today, tomorrow I will post some more or probably of the town I am in Mexico.

Just for information, my country was created the year 681. In the half of the middle age we were under the control of the bizantines. After that we liberated ourselves, but in 200 years we were conquered by the otoman empire, is the name correct. So we were part of the otoman empire for almost 500 years and we got free with the help of Russia in 1878. So, my country is pretty old even though we were controlled by the otomans for 500 years. Since it`s creation `till now it`s more than 1300 years. Next year it`s 1325 years. Cool. It`s a pretty old european country. And it was called Bulgaria since its creation. Anyone tells the story of his country shortly too?

I'm from here...

I'm from Glasgow. Originally a small salmon-fishing village at a crossing point on the River Clyde, Glasgow has been shaped by Battles, World Wide Trade and Heavy Industry to become a truly International City.

Founded by a Christian missionary (St Mungo), Glasgow became a major religious centre. Mungo's original church was destroyed by the wars which swept the country in the years after his death. Today's Cathedral dates from the 12th Century and has been added to in the years which followed.

Glasgow has been the site of many battles. Bishop's Castle once stood on the site now occupied by Glasgow's Royal Infirmary. Here, in 1300, William Wallace (of "Braveheart" fame) with 300 men defeated an army of 1000 English Knights who had taken possession of the castle under the English Bishop of Durham.

Due to its location on the west of the country, Glasgow was well positioned to send shipping to the West Indies and America.
By the 18th century many merchants had acquired great wealth by importing sugar, rum and tobacco. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, aided by technological advances designed by Clydeside inventors such as James Watt, Heavy Industry in the shape of Railway Locomotives and Shipbuilding flourished.
Today the city beckons tourists from all over the world. Glasgow's art treasures are world renowned and most of the city's museums and art galleries offer free entrance to view their treasures. The city boasts a fine Concert Hall, International Conference Centre, Science Centre, Sports Arena and shops rivalling the best in the land.





Now, any questions?

Yes where are the bathrooms?

You'll find the facilities are excellent!
