SOFIA
What a bizarre weekend we have just had in Sofia, there is nowhere like this European Union capital of corruption that I have seen (Warsaw has nothing on this place) everything appears bent, taxis, restaurants, bars, politics, sport, the lot. Sofia became the capital as recently as the end of wwII and after coming under communist rule it had all it's private farm land collectivised and the masses moved to work in Sofia which the USSR created for ...
