The pictures and sounds are quite incoherent, but so were my first 4 days in Sofia. I had a lot of fun strolling around, trying to get an overview of the city & my job. I’m overwhelmed but still happy & excited to get to know more about the city, the country (and the Bulgarian language…)
(Sounds of my first week in Sofia)
approaching Sofia – what a sight!
passing Alexander Nevsky Cathedral on my daily way to work
NDK – National Palace of Culture where I attended the first press conference – completely in Bulgarian. It was interesting to be there, though & I was excited to see the building from the inside
Monument to the Soviet Army
I was discussing about this monument with my 2 Bulgarian flatmates. We couldn’t figure out if or what the graffiti is supposed to mean. However this place is quite popular for political statements (particularly regarding Russia)
monument celebrating 1300 years of Bulgaria
