A Norwegian family who traveled on a package tour to Bulgaria filed a formal complaint and demanded a refund, because most of the other guests at the hotel where they were staying were Bulgarians.
The Hotel Sveti Toma in Bulgaria, shown here on one of many booking sites. The Norwegian family traveled to Bulgaria, but wanted to vacation with other Norwegians, not Bulgarians. PHOTO: directbooking.ro The family conceded in its complaint that the Hotel Sveti Toma itself and its vacation facilities were fine, reported newspaper Aftenposten on Wednesday. They had wanted, however, to spend their holiday with other Scandinavians, and contended that tour operator Apollo should have informed them that most of the guests at the Bulgarian hotel were either Bulgarian or from other eastern European countries.

It is rich. It’s like going to Tokyo, and then realizing you’re surrounded by.......wait for it;
Japanese!
Same problem I have when traveling in Mexico. The place is crawling with Mexicans.
Sucks to be them, I guess. :)
I spent a bit of time in Sofia (2006), and yes, everyone I knew or met was BULGARIAN...Imagine that.
Even the famous Orthodox monastery, far out in the countryside, was crawling with BULGARIANS, I tell ya.
Oh the humanity !
I walked into my house yesterday and ... MY FAMILY was there !!!
Can you believe THAT ?!!??
I’m surprised there are any Bulgarians left in Bulgaria. Seems like all of them made their way in a north-westerly direction as soon as they joined the EU.
Perhaps Norwegian-Bulgarians on a home vacation?
“That’s nuthin !
I walked into my house yesterday and ... MY FAMILY was there !!!
Can you believe THAT ?!!??

That is shocking, I tell you...just shocking !!!!!!
Maybe that is why I left the USSA....too much family around, haha../s
I’m really not sure if there are many places for the Norwegians to go which are populated mainly by Scandinavians. If they go to their capital, Oslo, they certainly will find plenty of Arabs, but not too many Scandinavians.
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".
We apologise for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.

They could go to Minnesota. It’s crawling with “Scandahoovians.”
Or Kingsburg, Calif., whose Swedish population dominates the culture.
There is a large population of people of Norwegian descent around where I live in western Wisconsin. The Norwegians can spend their winter vacations here in sunny, warm, tropical Wisconsin and be surrounded by a lot of people that look like them. A number of small towns populated by Norskies, like Westby, Wisconsin, even have Norwegian flags flying outside gift shops. The Norwegian nationals would feel right at home...uff da!
Yea,I thought they were all in Amsterdam and Rome lifting
tourist wallets!
Bulgarians, in Bulgaria? It must be a conspiracy.
I volunteer at a hospital once a week. Last Friday, a new escort was introduced to us veterans. It was young Bulgarian man who worked his way over here and while he’s waiting for some scholarship funds to attend college, he’s volunteering. His English is almost flawless. Four years ago, I was in ICU and the ICU nurse was a Bulgarian dude. Both guys were floored that I knew of some Bulgarian football teams. Soccer: the international language.
Maybe they should have just stayed home with their Norwegian friends
upper Minnesota
hey friends don’t let friends eat lutefisk
