Ok Sofia is a nice city, filled with street venders, western clothing stores, orthodox churches, one mosque and one synagogue to name a few. The first day I got here I did a walking tour of the city with four other people. It was a great tour and gave me all the needed info on the city. The hostel I am staying at has free breakfast and dinner, which helps save some money. I watched the world cup at the hostel with a group of backpackers. Yesterday I wandered the city with a Brittish guy who works at at Ford plant and DJ's on the side. SOfia is the cheapest city thus far so I have been buying all the needed gifts. Tonight I leave for Istanbul and should arrive tomarrow morning around 6 or 7.
