Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
I spent most of the week in Warsaw, on a meetup with my colleagues.
I expected to see something like Sofia but maybe a bit better. Saw something that is not like Sofia at all, or at least not the central area. Wide streets, skyscrapers, alleys for cycling, and modern restaurants. Felt closer to the USA than to the other cities of Europe I’ve visited, except the bike lanes. Walkable.
Warszawa is a nice place, maybe a bit dark and wet in October.
Vistula River. Not sure about the bird but it wanted to show her wings.
Sunny place without cats.
It’s cold outside, not pleasant for long walks at all. However, 3 months from now, a temperature of 3-6° C would actually be soft and welcoming.
Here’s some photos from my walk.
The Cathedral.
We have two cathedrals. This is the touristy one. It is difficult to miss unless you’re local. We miss it every day like it’s the opposite of a black hole. It’s surrounded by an empty square to deter any residents.
Bus line 200 is a tourist line run by the municipality. It uses regular credit card taps for 0.8 euro that cannot exceed 2.1 euro per day (you stop being charged after 2.1 euro). Way better than the regular tourist tour buses around the continent.

And last but not least, the King’s palace.
