... like a po' boy's London or at least Birmingham, plenty of decent food and coffee, bakeries as good as anywhere I know. After starving myself in Albania, too lazy to deal with currency exchange, I'm gorging in Sofia, plenty of foreign exchange since the transport companies won't take &euro;, and I had to cash a wad.
