The fact that this is YOUR neighborhood certainly gives weight to your opinion that poor is not an excuse. Maybe it is time to start talking to the people with the carts about health issues?

Poor is definitely NOT an excuse for living in dirt - but IT IS THE FACT all around the world. Poor people -- by and large, although not all--just do not care about personal hygiene or a clean environment. I don't know if sociologists can explain the reasons for (Mazlow's hyerarchy and all that) but I believe old clothes can be mended, and the house can be swept and a wash basin and a little water can always be found for cleanliness. I guess it should start in schools and churches, where teachers and clergy people who truly CARE about the welfare of their fellow human beings can instill some common sense in them. I wish you well - and I future the future will be brighter for you and your little town. Vianna (in Florida and at sendsomething.net )

This is Bulgaria!!! This picture is all around in our lovely country.We have to do something finally. I mean WE - everybody, everywhere and first of all - THE BULGARIAN LAW SYSTEM. Unfortunately, nobody to abide by the rules and that is our tragedy. But it's time to change!

I agree with your words and thoughts. I live in Campania (italy) and sometimes here we have big problems with big amount of garbage...so I can partially understand your mood.

And I forgot to write - most of these people aren't so much poor. Most of them, themselves made that life-choice.

i can see why you are upset. its terrible when the law fails. but i do believe that being poor does not justify acting like pigs. i wish there was some answer that would make your part of the world better. but dont think you are alone--this happens everywhere in this world.

UAU! I've seen this picture many times even in my own town, but...is very ugly when you see it from some other point and you steel know this is Bulgaria. I love my country because my country is not pictures just like this one but...well, this is the trough! We like it or not, this is the reality.
