Hi

Two weeks ago I was in Budapest. 1 thing for sure: Sofia IS dirty. Very dirty. And you can't perceive fully how dirty it is untill you come back from some "normal" place. I can understand your good will (and thank you), but well... we have to be honest. Sofia is very dirty and badly looked after.

And you intend to show her the "major" (major?) tourist spots? Did you see Danube in Budapest? The royal palace? The parliament? The citadel? And you still say Sofia has "major" tourist spots?

And yes, good thing that she wants to see a smaller city. Thus she may not be left with the impression that Bulgaria is one big junkyard.


Looking forward to read your impressions from Istanbul. I was there last summer and I was blown out. And if you have the time, go visit Ankara as well... won't regret it.
