CSIV (Crime Scene Investigation Varna)

53 Years ago, I was born -and after that raised- in the city of The Hague where 474.000 people live. In 30 odd years, I only heard of 1 murder in my neighbourhood. It was a burglary that escalated because someone came home too soon.

For the next 15 years, I roamed the adjacent province.

I lived near Schiphol Airport and then I managed to find housing in Amsterdam. I found a nice family house in the city where people have to wait for a lifetime for just a one-room appartment. When the debt collection agency wrote their 20th letter (to my landlady) and threatened to come and sell everything that was in the house, I moved on. After that I hired a house for 2.200 Euros per month from someone who 'forgot' to pay his mortgage.

Then I really took a risk: I moved to a small town (just 29.599 inhabitants) in the most southern part of the country, near the German border. Finally I found some peace!

First year: two people were murdered. One of them was only wearing one slipper when they found him, so that is called 'the slipper murder'.

Next year: a young guy was shot in front of a pool centre.

Third year: a wealthy drugs dealer was shot in front of his house, wife and children.

Last week: two people were stabbed to death because of relational problems.

I just heard that William Petersen will leave the extremely succesful series CSI. Maybe he can come over to my district....

Many Bulgarian taxi drivers try to exploit tourists by charging them twice or even three times the actual fare. You don't need 'Grissom' for that. Just ask our receptionists and they will make sure that your driver is trustworthy.
