Republic of Bulgaria
This time, I chose the Republic of Bulgaria. Maybe many of you know Kotoohsyu who is a famous sumou wrestler from Bulgaria to Japan. However, I don’t know much about him. I just know his face.
The location of this country is in the north of the Europe; Balkan Peninsula and faces on the Black sea. Donau River flow though this country. This is border line between Bulgaria and Rumania. Mountains cover the one-third of its area. Musara Mountain is the tallest mountain in the Balkan Peninsula. The height is 2,925 meter. The size of this country is 110,909 km/sq. This is as one-third large as Japan, that also means 1.3 times as large as Hokkaido. The population of this country is 8,100,000.This is as well as Kanagawa prefecture. Language of this country is Bulgarian. They use Kiril letter like Russia. I am really interested in this letter so I am studying it in Russian circle. Main industries are Aquiculture and processing industry. This country is famous for wine, yoghurt, and potato etc. As for religion, there are a lot of religions in Bulgaria. However, many people believe in Bulgarian Christianities. There was a communist government in Bulgaria, but now, it is democracy. Its national flag is three stripes.
The color of that are White, Green, and Red, in turn form above. The meaning of the national flag is depends on color. White means peace and friendship, Green means Farming and forest, and red means courage and perseverance of army. Bulgaria is one of the members of NATO, and it wants to join the European Union. Its currency is REF. Relationship between Japan and Bulgaria is very good.
Bulgaria has many problems. Unemployment is still high and living standard is still low. So they are trying to join the EU to spread their market place.
I had big interest in this country last year. That is because I read a non-fiction book. That name is “white rose of Sofia”. The story is so deep. It is my treasure but if anybody wants to read this book, I will lend it.
