Expat Moment

This is where an expatriot from a first world country becomes so accustomed to the benefits of living in a developing country that they have expectations or express opinions that would totally unreasonable back at home.
eg. I am used to all of my dirty clothes magically disappearing from the floor in my bathroom and reappearing in my cupboard clean and ironed (and I pay very little for this service). But one day I go to wear my favourite shirt and discover it is still in the laundry. Instead of walking to the laundry to get it with my own two legs, I get huffy and annoyed that my maid hasn't brought it to my cupboard. (The expat moment !) This feeling lasts for a moment (hopefully) until I realise that I am spoiled and ridiculous and can get my shirt myself.

Expats in Veliko Tarnovo

Economic immigrants, mostly of British or German descent who migrated to the poor, neglected villages in Veliko Tarnovo region in Bulgaria. This type of immigrant is easily recognizable by mangy appearance: obese pig-like shape, scruffy clothes, incomplete set of teeth, cheap, often prison aquired tattoos and intense body odor from not showering regularly due to lack of water in the region. Alcoholism, poverty, lack of education, criminal background and mental disabilities are the main reasons for this type of immigration.
