Bansko is not just a ski resort. Bansko<\/a> is a state of mind, a social experiment, and a separate universe. It is the only place on the planet where a digital nomad from California eats \u201cbanyan old man\u201d while next to him a grandmother in a headscarf sells wool socks to a drunk Englishman dressed as a ballerina.<\/p>\n
