Advantages: Not too busy, good value for money, green Disadvantages: Not many "attractions", not much for children
Our visit to Sofia didn't get off to an auspicious start. The other half spent the eve of the trip throwing up in the only bathroom of a hostel in Veliko Tarnovo and we would have stayed there another day to permit his recuperation had we not already reserved and paid for our tickets to the capital. By the following day I was off my food and the day after that I was availing myself of the bathroom facilities, making sure I got my moneys worth!
I suppose the ill thing was due - almost three months of rich food, too much alcohol, late nights and living life to the full was bound to catch up with us sooner or later. All of which begs the question - what exactly do two invalids get up to for three days in Sofia?
ATTRACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Sofia is a rather compact city so, while it has trams and a short underground line, weekend ...
Advantages: Great large town, that's compact and safe to explore Disadvantages: Probably only enough for a weekend; the Cyrillic language

The history of the country is far too complex to summarise here, but just one corner of Sofia ...

Advantages: Thrilling, Chilling Disadvantages: the sex scenes could have been little less
Well this is one freaky and scary movie. Its rather you have to fight to survive through the movie than to watch it.
This movie is completely about brutality. God knows what was goin through that directors mind while creating. The movie is packed with complete thrills, scenes which give you chills, goosebumps and some, which make you wanna puke. The violence and gore in the movie is just too horrific. You need to have a stable mind to watch the movie.
The actors in the movie, Jay Hernandez has acted very well. The story starts from a hostel in slovakia. The main character reaches this hostel and find two beautiful ladies there, Natalya and Svetlana. They somehow hangout with these females and end up pairing with them.
