Re: Central European Lines
The smallest tower building was ours,so I changed the lane to go direct to the hotel.On my left I saw some young people who waited the tramcar sitting on the ground.At my home only drunks take a sit in such way.Of course in other places this could be define as a new wave, a Fronde,and so on.On the other side we didn't see any bench in a tram stop.

Re: Central European Lines
But of course it is noticing differences in the expected that makes a good photographer; or is it? Young people waiting for a tram is this picture, hope the hotel is nice and you are ready for more adventures; because I learn everything and really have a good idea what it is like there.

Re: Central European Lines
It is a nicer hotel than mine was Radu
I had to share a toilet but I don't think I would like a glass door. The room is big, mine was smaller than a prison and there was something odd about the place, which I later worked out was that there was only male guests some of whom had spider tattoos on their faces and partied till 4am.

Re: Central European Lines
Being convinced about global concept and its immediate application we took a tram and after seven stops we arrived in the center.Here a moonscape waited us.Subway construction was stopped because of archeological discoveries.

Re: Central European Lines
Politicians are really bad people; I can't work out what contribution they make to humankind. It is right it was in B+W.

Re: Central European Lines
Let the Communism and its remains back in the history!Here in Sofia,in the center,there is a holy triangle whose sides are,perhaps,no more than 200 yards long.At one point is a synagogue from 1909.
Maybe,here,the most important Jew is a.....................Jewess,Sarah-Theodora,the wife of a tzar

Re: Central European Lines
In the second point of the triangle is,from 16th c.,the Banya Bashi(Many Baths) mosque
In the 6th c.on these places was built "Holy Sophia"church(now rebuilt). It seems that slowly,many travelers used its name and place like meeting point although this settlement was known as Sredets. When Ottomans begun to rule the town they have named it Sofia-and nowadays many think that was from the God.Last edited by Radu Dinu Cordeanu; 10th September 2012 at 09:24 AM.
