While walking around in Bulgaria, I spotted this typical for the country fish trap, called locally "blind basket" (сляп кош, слеп кош). They look like the eel traps and are made in similar manner but are not so elongated and are flattened. Many years ago I've been thought how to wove them as part of my family tradition and in some of the next videos I'll show how it is done. In general I am fascinated with the this type of traditional crafts and primitive technologies and I'd like to see everyone of us sharing the knowledge.
The reason to visit again Bulgaria is, because the NHS traumatology didn't have free slot until the end of October and because my injured foot was not deemed life-threatening I couldn't get emergency treatment. So after 3 months waiting, the situation started getting worse and I was barely able to walk and I went in Bulgaria, where I got something called "free check", which basically means paid service for people who doesn't live in the country and are not insured in any way. The whole thing lasted less then an hour, and cost me the grand total of £20, which includes x-ray, couple of control checks and scheduled up to 5 shock-wave or whatever are called procedures and after 3 days I could walk again and the pain in greatly diminished. So if anybody has issues with the health, don't wait and run to some other country, I can confirm that the quality of the health care in East Europe and the Mediterranean countries like Spain is much higher.
