Morning Walk

I managed to get out of bed earlier this morning. I took a few magical photos while the smog was still fresh.

This is the church, the tourist magnet of Sofia. It shines.

A hidden garden behind Tzum. The building on the left was the shopping mall of the communism period. You couldn’t do much shopping in there before 1989 but it was a good walking destination. You could watch things that you’d never buy.

Very different protests, mostly against the Pig and the Pumpkin, but also the Euro. The migration to the Euro is glitching right now. I hope it goes well.

While Sofia prepared for the third round of protests, I had a chance to walk in the area of the National Theatre. It’s cold, dark, but still charming.

And found a model kitten.

Moments to Disaster

That’s near the lunch place where I have lunch a few times/week. They were about to start a fight. I went to the food stand. Waited for 5-10 minutes and got my lunch. They were still about to start a fight. Cat business.

I walked to the Book Fair today (well, skipped a few bus stops, but mostly walked). I was under the impression that I’d taken some pretty cool photos on the way there. After all, I crossed the city center. This is what I actually found later in my camera roll.

Three photos in total.

A colorful building on Lyuben Karavelov street. I twist my neck every time I pass by because the people who restored it painted outside ACs. I don’t know why but I find it cool.

Sticker graffiti with USA’94 near the Romanian embassy. It’s ironic because I ordered a gamebook called USA’94 a few days ago. After seeing the photo, I googled the book to see if there’s any resemblance – none. Whoever does these stickers is unrelated to the gamebook community.

And a Twingo 1. Renault is about to revive the Twingo 1 car (1993-2007) as Twingo E-Tech. The concept car has eyelashes by design. I owned a similar car when I was younger. It’s great for parking.

This particular unit is the facelift version from around 2001-2006.
