About Black Sea

The Black Sea is a marginal sea lying between Europe and Asia, east of the Balkans, south of the East European Plain, west of the Caucasus, and north of Anatolia. It is bounded by Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine. The Black Sea is supplied by major rivers, principally the Danube, Dnieper and Dniester. Consequently, while six countries have a coastline on the sea, its drainage basin includes parts of 24 countries in Europe.

  2. There was a statue that was recently erected. It was in the city of Amassia. Amassia, I don't know to pronounce that anyway. It's on the Black Sea. It was a statue of an old Ottoman prince, and he's taking a selfie of himself with a smartphone. I guess it's supposed to represent the glory of Ottoman princes and also meant to be a bit hip and down with the times.
