Crossing the border was pretty uneventful except when we crossed into Bulgaria, the passport controller took our passports and asked us to pull over. Nicholai explained to us there is an exact science to this process: he knew the exact amount of time we needed to wait and then ask for them back. If he came too soon, they would yell, they are very busy and did not have the time to look at the passports. If he went too late to collect them, or they had to bring them back to the car, they would yell at him, why did he wait so long, they are very busy and don't have the time to bring our passports back! BTW, there was no one at the border crossing but us!!!
Nicholai asked us what we thought about the migrant worker situation. After stating he was NOT political (but was Trump for real?), he proceeded to give us his opinion about the Syrian migration problem. The entire situation was caused by the U.S. and we should make a separate state for them in Syria. It is our problem because we armed the rebel forces with guns to fight against The Islamic State, and caused this unsafe problem. We should keep them where they are, and create a separate state for them (similar to what was done for the Jews and Israeli in 1948).
Needless to say, we were happy when we arrived in Veliko Tărnovo so we could stop talking about politics and Trump's bad hair style!
