Okay, I've just been introduced to this great blog called <a href="http://sosofia.com/" target="_blank">SoSofia</a> and it's SoGreat.  One of my new friends from FISI studies at Sofia University in the department of English and American Studies with the brother and sister pair who write the blog and she said in passing one night you should check out this blog.  The next morning I couldn't remember the name of the blog but after a post on Facebook to her wall, I had the name and url to the site.

Here's why I think it is great:

<ol>
	<li>The site is in English and it's well written.</li>
	<li>The blog is not trying to sell foreigners property on the Black Sea (but I think that if this brother/sister partnership wanted they could and would do a great job at it)!</li>
	<li>The restaurants, bars and other sites they review are actually cool for 20-somethings in Sofia and this is important because so many of the reviews other places are for older more well connected people.</li>
	<li>I've been to a couple of the places they reviewed before learning of the blog and I agreed with their reviews.</li>
	<li>I am looking for fun, lively, moderately inexpensive places to go in Sofia and their site seems to cater to this with out being either over the top in the descriptions or snarky.</li>
</ol>
So, after obsessively reading every posting on their site, I think that I am qualified to render the above judgement.  This act of reading every post (of which there are a lot) also left me a little bit delirious and made me think that I should then contact the brother and sister writing the blog visa vie their contact us tab.  I did.

I told them how much I liked their blog and gasp! They wrote back to me.  I decided to write back and to link my blog to their blog (because I think that this is what bloggers do).  And again, gasp, I do this because I think I might actually be becoming a blogger.  Anyhow, now I think that I might have blog friends because we exchanged skype names and I have talked to sister of the brother sister pair via skype.  (Oh and it's probally worth saying that in Bulgaria most of the Bulgarians I know use skype for the chat function rather than to call and actually talk to me over the internet.)

Okay, I hope that everyone checks out this great blog on Sofia and that this inspires each of you to start making travel plans to come and visit me.  I know that some of you are skeptical but, see, there really is great stuff to do in this city (oh and it's still affordable even with the economic crisis)!!
