A Lively Garden Scene
Imagine a beautiful garden, glowing with lights from many lamps. Under the trees, there were many tables, and at those tables sat the people of Philippopolis, enjoying themselves. They were drinking coffee, beer, and toasting each other with big glasses of wine. At one end of the garden, there was a small stage. A Hungarian band played lively music, while a young woman in a short skirt sang songs. A deep-voiced singer performed, and then the band played some more, followed by more songs from the lady in the short skirt.
It was a Sunday evening, and Philippopolis was having a great time. In England, this might be seen as improper, but I didn’t think the people of Philippopolis were doing anything wrong. They seemed to be enjoying the evening in a very innocent way Customized Tours Bulgaria.
A Thought on Enjoyment
As I sat there, enjoying the lively atmosphere around me, I thought about my home in England. I wondered if there were better ways to deal with the problems of drunkenness in my country. In England, they close public houses early and criticize those who don’t drink in a strict, temperance-focused way. I thought maybe, over time, we would see changes. Perhaps, we might have places where people could enjoy a drink in a relaxed and social way.
Imagine a place where families could go out together. The husband could have a glass of ale and smoke his pipe, the wife could enjoy a cup of tea, and the children could have cakes. The family could listen to a band and enjoy the evening together. This idea seemed far from the strict, puritan rules in England, where workers, who don’t want to neglect their families, often end up in crowded, unpleasant bars. These places can lead people to drink too much, and later regret it, becoming a subject of temperance campaigns.
