Burgas

Here, one-bedroom apartments can rent for approximately 250 to 500 a month.

And if you've dreamed of retiring by the sea, there's Burgas.

This beautiful Black Sea coastal city offers sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants, and a gorgeous seaside park perfect for morning walks.

One-bedroom apartments can rent for approximately 300 to 700 a month here.

I was born and raised in Bulgaria.

And I grew up in the city of Burgas, which is on the Black Sea.

And I lived in an apartment on the eighth floor where I could see every morning how the sun comes out of the Black Sea.

So this is what I associate Bulgaria and my life.

It's not about sort of a, a hierarchy.

But I think if you were to go looking for a sort of Pan Arctic powerhouse, I would say Nunavut have consistently brought high quality at music to this contest, and it would be a crying shame for the Canadian delegation to not look at that and at least consider it for what they wanna do, um, in Burgas and beyond.

Well, I, also, let's, let's just remember, this is a...

I was gonna say Eurovision, but it's c- it's not Eurovision, and that's kind of the point.

Elena, it's fantastic to have you on.

You are the perfect guest to get on to start this series as we begin looking ahead to next year's contest, of course, which will be held in, in Burgas, as we know now.

To get started, let's go back to, to May earlier this year, of course, Dara's victory in Vienna.

You had the honor of telling the Bulgarian public what was happening, talking and talking them through the, the historic win.

...

Yes, probably.

[laughs] Probably I will travel, like, five, uh, hundred kilometers to Burgas from Sofia, uh, to commentate, uh, from the arena.

Uh, but still it's a bit strange, uh, to be outside that professional circle, uh, that I belong to.

Their very first win.

And we'll be going to the coastal city of Burgas on the Black Sea for the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest.

Oh my goodness me.

It's weird to say that, my gosh.

... is eminently capable of.

I mean, in, what was it? T- 2012 they blew up a busload of Israeli holidaymakers in Burgas, Bulgaria.

That was a Hezbollah operation.

I mean, they have form here.

Yeah, it's the third episode of season two of Put It Away and we have a lot to discuss in this episode as well.

Well, listen, we discussed about Burgas being selected as the host city, we discussed about the new regulations of Eurovision that will actually go on for the next Eurovisions, but now we have to discuss something that is even hotter now.

Who is participating and who is not participating in Eurovision 2027?

We are somehow getting prepared for next season and we of course need to see which countries will participate in Eurovision 2027.

But then we have some other bright news because, okay, we had this historic debut, but we also have some comebacks and we're talking about North Macedonia.

North Macedonia, after four years of absence, they have decided to join us again in Eurovision, which is quite exciting and quite logical, I would say, because Eurovision is going to take place in their neighborhood.

so they will take the bus and drive to Burgas

yeah that's that's very cheap i guess

Yeah.

And the Eurovision Song Contest will take place on the 11th, the 13th, and the 15th of May, 2027 in the Bulgarian city of Burgas.

Um, and now f- something completely different.

Something completely, completely different.
