I took it for the first time this weekend to go to my Sunday afternoon Bulgarian lesson. I was pretty excited about taking the metro. First I love how easy the metro is to take in Sofia and I was super pumped up about a stop in my neighborhood. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

It's basically in the middle of nowhere. The stop has a green field in front of it and dirt on all sides. A asphalt sidewalk has been added but that's about it.

It kind of feels like a metro stop popped up out of the middle of nowhere. Ta-da!

I hope in the future it looks a little bit more like it belongs--the lonely Mladost 3 metro stop. I am not sure what exactly I expected but it was definitely not this.

Oh well, at least the stop itself is pretty handsome. Mladost 3 has character.
