"Belly-buttoned Passion for Fun" a Bulgaria Travel Page by Assenczo

Do not believe Bulgarians when they complain about too many hardships – look at this…

Anytime I look at these pictures I wonder about the phenomena of Bg fun. It has been a while since I lived there on a permanent basis and this sharpens my senses for the “unusual”. Is it unusual to express your passion for fun by gradually altering altitude and reaching the summit – the table? Well, the table is a place for food, not feet, and many might have been scolded as children for not following this principle. But the forbidden is always more attractive. Now we are grown boys and girls, we have the destiny in our own hands, we are in charge. Let’s get on the table and prove that there are no insurmountable obstacles in front of us.

This is just a clumsy theory at best of how this expression of “wild fun” developed. I challenge all VT users and casual visitors to provide insights or suggestions on how this phenomenon came into being (if this is not an axiom already). I think this must be a Bulgarian trademark hence to be found nowhere else. Examples for similar “activities” from any other country in the world are welcome (help my quest to establish a Guinness record for best fun-having place under the Sun/Moon).
