Bulgaria

Signs for place names and similar are generally written in two languages.

The crosswalk sign shows 4 stripes.

Pylons and utility poles with arms jutting out in a ←→← pattern are common.

The official language is Bulgarian (български), written in Cyrillic script.

The letter "Ъ" is used only in Bulgarian and Russian.

Many houses have flat-topped, reddish-brown tile roofs, and every house has a chimney.

You'll find utility poles with hooks, similar to Latvia's. Poles sometimes have yellow paint with Cyrillic writing on it.

Round tin trash bins with wheels sit along streets and in front of houses.

Road surfaces are in very poor condition — bad enough that locals have made a road-condition map to help avoid the worst stretches.

Houses sometimes have antennas from Vivacom, Bulgaria's largest telecom company (with a "V" logo). Bulsatcom antennas also appear.

In some regions, a red-dot sticker is stuck on the back of signs.

Endless tall maize fields point to the north (the Danubian Plain and Dobruja). In the south, such as the Thracian Plain, fields are mostly sunflower and wheat, with little maize.

A sea of yellow sunflower fields in summer, or brown, drooping, withered sunflowers stretching to the horizon in autumn, are densest in the northeastern Dobruja (around Dobrich and Varna). They appear on nearly every plain outside the southwest and the mountains.

There's a region known as the Rose Valley (Kazanlak to Karlovo) that produces Damask roses for perfume. However, owing to the season and other factors, few areas seem to show roses in Street View.

There's a road around Belmeken Dam.

There's a TV tower atop Botev Peak in Central Balkan National Park. It showed up in a world championship a few years back.
