Bulgaria : Sofia 秋叶红了



Boyan and I joined Sofia free city tour. It took around two hours. Our guide was Mikko, a PHD student in Sofia University. Synagogue, mosque and church are located at the same area which is called tolerance square. The architectures of the buildings are alike with domes. The way to distinguish them is looking at the top of the dome: cross represents church, new moon represents mosque and star represents synagogue.

Sofia is a peaceful city, not crowd and relaxing. There is a huge discrepancy between Istanbul and Sofia. There is not much impressing scene in Sofia but it is a good place for hiking since it is the only capital city in Europe that surrounded by mountain. 

I really hope I have the chance to visit a synagogue and an orthodox church but I lost the chance. 

  This was my first time to have bread and cheese as breakfast. Cheese is salty and milk is sour. This is far from Malaysian style. 

It was quite difficult to take public transportation in Bulgaria. There was no English sign and I had no idea which station they are going to stop.

秋风并没有染红了保加利亚,红彤彤的枫叶不见踪影,只有绿深深、黄澄澄和光秃秃,与图片嘚诗情画意相差甚远。正当失望、布满我的脑袋时,一缕阳光穿过眼前的树林,黄澄澄的树林,突然金碧辉煌,树壁生辉了。
