A few snaps of Sofia city centre, next to the Presidency and the Cabinet building, and the 'facilities' offered to disabled people and pedestrians.
No respite for Europe's southern cities
Even Turkey had snowfall.
The Artist and Hugo seem to be the current bookies' favourite.
Woody Allen has very rarely attended the Academy Awards.
Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow, both 82, would be the oldest actors ever to win an Oscar.
Seen worse - in Spain
I am living here since 3 years, and each and every day, I get more convinced that this country is not ready for the EU - and will not be ready in 100 years!
welcome to bulgayria

outrageous. quality.
My hopes are with this country.
When I was there that is a very common practice. There is a law, but no one seem to obide by it, not even the local parking authority, if in fact such does exist.
Toronto
that picture is pure reality!! but if you tell this to a bulgarian they get insulted and mad. they are so used to living like this way that they cant see better and accepted that their country is way behind and instead of drinking coffee and smoking cigarrettes in the cafes with their new iphones or mobile phones they just start thinking and working for a better BG...

And this country is in the eu?
this really made my day - had the first good laugh for today..
When I heard Sofia was installing bike routes I was very pleased as it is a step towards progress as has been seen in the west of this contenent. But once again, the job has been done half-assed (pet-za-chetri) and now it looks rediculas and emarrasing.
made my day, thanks for posting
So now its official; vehicles of all types (including cycles) are to use the pavements, and pedestrians are to use the roads.
Time for the new government to bring in zero tolerance for selected traffic offences with large fines (over 1000 leva minimum) and cancelling of vehicle registration for persistent offenders.
Jumping or creeping at red traffic lights; parking in bus lanes and on pavements. Gradually add more items until traffic discipline is achieved.
Simply simple and idiotic,who's in charge ?I really think Bulgarians have no logic sometimes,as for the cars parking on the pavements,pick them up take them into the country somewhere and charge for the recovery.
I was recently in Sofia and took similar photos; cars parked right on the sidewalk so that pedestrians had no choice but to walk on the road. The strange thing is no one does anything about it. If I lived there I would have slashed all their tires! The police really need to start hauling these cars away. It would be the same in any country if the police did nothing to punish to guilty.
The Sofia is one big village full with villagers.
this is simply priceless
An interesting campaign - stickers with the slogan 'You've parked like an idi*t":
