NEO Travel Club: K-san in Bulgaria

K-san traveled to Bulgaria in October. She was part of a group Japanese businesspeople who traveled to Bulgaria together. The famous former sumo wrestler Kotoōshū Katsunori (琴欧洲 勝紀) traveled together with the group. He has started his own sumo wresltling stable and now uses the name Naruto Katsunori (鳴戸 勝紀). He and K-san have known each other through business for more than 10 years. The group met with the President of Bulgaria, Rumen Radev.

K-san and the group took some tours of factories around Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Of course, Bulgaria is famous for yogurt, but another factory tour was a company that produces rose oil. Rose oil is used in the production of perfume, and is a major export product for Bulgaria.

K-san said it was a long trip, because there is no direct flight from Japan to Bulgaria, so she changed planes in Germany. The weather was much cooler than Okayama was at the time, and K-san could enjoy some Autumn atmosphere, like the pumpkin patch in the photo above.
