I have featured a few postcards of Sofia in this post, but now I am making an entry for Bulgaria coz I want to put this neat map card of the country.. I still can’t believe nobody in the postcards publishers here bother to make map postcards of Malaysia :( They only know to keep recycling same old photos that I am more than bored to see at the shops!

I just feel like including this postcard along even though it’s from Mizia region, but I guess on this colorful card you can have general idea of how Bulgarian costume, tradition, nature, castles and homes are like.
