oh, it's one of the best cities in the world IMO

in bulgaria it's for sure a tie with Plovdiv, but its parks are more beautiful as is the giant mountain shading the city from the sun

but any local will tell you that anywhere around Levski and this area is dodgy, it's mostly in the direction right from that photo, let's just say i have several experiences with herbal dispensers from that area and heard more than a few stories

i probably lived almost 4 years in total in that city, i do miss it

i will say that EU membership is wrecking the place though, it was better in 2013
