First snow in Sofia from a apartment block

  1. Wow, this really looks like New Belgrade

    I guess I didn’t expect it to be so.. brutalist i guess.

    wait. bulgaria was in the eastern block, right? well, that explains it

  2. Honestly nothing can make Sofia look nicer. 25 years I’ve been coming to Bulgaria and finally they are starting to refinish the outside of the ugly panelkas and paint some buildings. Great job. Something that happened in the rest of the former communist bloc 25 years ago – Poland, Hungary, Czech etc. And of course for every improvement, there are three steps back – dirt roads to the few modern apartment buildings and no parking built, horrible traffic, non-stop bad air.
