    Just FYI, not really being political. Just actual facts. Cattle is not really scarce in Cuba. They are all owned by the State tho... Even the cows owned by small independent farmers, intended for milking only. If for any reason this cow dies, even if due to natural causes... the paper work is ridiculous..! It is illegal for anyone to kill or slaughter Cattle in Cuba. Cuba has extremely rich agricultural lands and pastures, therefore no reason why they couldn't have a prosperous beef industry... The government chooses to export almost all beef for profit and yes they do somewhat provide a little beef for young children, not so much for the elderly... you would be hard pressed to recognize any of these "Cuts" of beef... Even 90% of the chicken is imported from the U.S. Same goes for the seafood. It's illegal for any Cuban to even posses shrimp or lobster, the penalty is years in jail. Again the government chooses to export most seafood to places like China for huge profits. Ironic that people living in the Caribbean on an island have never even tasted SHRIMP..? My cousin is 59 years old and the last time he ate shrimp? Was like 20 years ago when I visited Cuba, I bought some shrimp from the "Black Market" and made him Shrimp Creole. As an American I found the price to be quite inexpensive, but to a Cuban making between 14 or 16 dollars a month..? They have many other needs to frivolously spend a months salary for one shrimp meal. I found it very difficult, even with me having $$$ to buy or even find some basic things we take for granted. Like buying a light bulb, spices like garlic powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder... nowhere to be found at any price..! There are no, literally none, hardware stores. I could have stayed in a Luxury Hotel, but I decided to stay in my cousin's humble house instead. No AC, no hot water, not even screens on the windows..! So I went to one the government "Stores" to buy an electric fan, to try to make sleeping during the night bearable. Found a store that had 3 fans available, made a ridiculously long line, when eventually it was my turn? They were sold-out! The fan was like $30 or $35 dollars. Like a good American I went bonkers, to the point that a manager/employee called another store which had some in stock and another taxi ride and miles later, I was finally able to buy an electric fan. You might be like okay, so whats the big deal then? Just to buy an electric fan took me several taxi rides and about 8 or 9 hours..!

    Just a quick note about Plovdiv: "Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Archaeologists have discovered pottery and other objects of everyday life from as early as the Neolithic Age, showing that in the end of the 7th millennium B.C there already was an established settlement there. According to Ammianus Marcellinus, Plovdiv's post-Bronze Age history places it as a Thracian fortified settlement named Eumolpias. In 342 BC, Plovdiv was conquered by Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, who renamed it "Φιλιππόπολις", Philippopolis or "the city of Philip" in his own honour. Later, it was reconquered by the Thracians who called it Pulpudeva (from Philipopolis)."

    Haha you really butcher these names! _Akershus festning_ can be roughly translated to Acre's House Fortress. An acre is ofc a measuring unit, moreover it's the amount of land one man can plough. It comes from the Norse word for a field, which is ákr. So, Akershus really means _The House of the Acres_ or _The House of the Fields,_ i.e. the castle that presides over the peasants living on those fields. Old English and Norse are really closesly related, so much so that it was mutually intelligible some 1000 years back. That's why a lot of Modern English contains so many Norse words, such as acre. Betcha didn't know that!

      Actually, it is a legend that the decuples of Cyril and Methodius named the Bulgarian Alphabet to the name of Cyril. The more realistic theory is that East Rome renamed the alphabet to this evil name after 1018, when they conquered Bulgaria with the help of the traitorous-sold-off-for-roman-gold Kiev Rus. Note that Cyril and Methodius were paid servants of the East Rome Emperor, workers of hire for the EVIL EMPIRE AT THE TIME. With this deceitful and evil act they deny Bulgaria a major achievement.
