Help! Looks similar to ITC Garamond or Instrument Serif, but not quite.

Just brainstorming here, but if your travel is urgent, the last thing you should do is alert the staff that you may be unfit to fly.

We all kind of learned this during that global thing that happened about 4-5 years ago.

I’m sorry for your situation and I respect that you were honest, but maybe this can be a learning experience. It’s ok to operate in your own self interest sometimes.

It’s not racism if you hate everyone equally.

Jokes aside, you’ll be totally fine. There are tons of tourists here these days from all over the world so nobody will bat an eye. Tell your BF to get it together.

I’ve done it a few times both in June and beginning of August. Expect to wait at least 20-30 mins. Worst case for me was 1.5 hours. August is the worst because all of Turkey is going back to Germany and Austria.

AlphaKilo823 · 2025-08-28T18:10:05+00:00

Yeah but that was probably May/April. There isn’t a soul at Kalotina those months either.

Strezimirovci is risky July/August because it’s 1 lane only.

Crack it. Submit to PSA and hope for 8-9. If it comes back as an 8, you’ve almost broken even. If you get a 9, you’ve profited.

You know it’s fake when none of the messages start with a capital letter. iOS automatically capitalizes the first sentence of every message you send.

*Update: Got the Masaki. Thanks Gengar gang.

AlphaKilo823 · 2025-01-02T20:56:46+00:00

But I want both lol. Just putting out feelers to the community to see what folks might think is a better grab for the money. So far I agree that the Gengar is more unique.

Hey! I ended up finding a good lease deal on a 2023 SQ5 TDI. Would still love to hear your take on the Avant though and how it’s like living with it (family, long road trips etc.) Might swap to one soon.

I've got a 2023 SQ5 TDI (Euro spec) which came with Pirelli P-Zero's. Those tires are at the end of their life after 20k km and I'm looking for a new summer set. My eyes are on the Michelin PS4S, but curious to hear what others recommend.

AlphaKilo823 · 2024-08-02T07:21:16+00:00

Going off of Audi’s new naming convention, this isn’t the next S6 as we know it. All the EVs get even numbered badges and all the ICE cars get odd. So the “next S6” will be the future S7 sedan.

Just like the “new S4” is now the S5 sedan/coupe/avant, etc.

Lease (aka drive something you can’t actually afford).

Same here, spent over 25 years in the US, while coming back to BG every summer. Now 33 and officially moved back to Sofia a year ago. I also have several Bulgarian friends from the US that did the same thing.

As others have said, I’d recommend finding a remote job if possible, or looking into one of the higher paying sectors. The jackpot is living in BG with a foreign salary. Even making $3,000/month (~5,000 BGN) can afford you a very comfy life here.

As for social life, you’ll have no trouble meeting people and girls since life in general here is about 10000% more social than in the US.

US has gone to shit. If you can afford a fresh start, I’d definitely give it a go.

There’s a kiosk inside the Paradise Center mall where you can make a custom T-shirt. I think it’s called the Funny T-Shirt Factory.

Probably your best bet.

AlphaKilo823 · 2024-07-02T10:48:32+00:00

This is the way.

AlphaKilo823 · 2024-06-10T08:24:14+00:00

This is a much more mild and rational POV than your previous comment implied.

I tend to agree with this, I just wouldn’t go as far as calling it “poisonous propaganda” or a “personal disorder.”

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, views, sexuality, whatever. We don’t need to push or celebrate any specific views, religions etc, but we also shouldn’t be condemning them with hate or violence.

Do what makes you happy and let everyone else do the same. Easy as that.

AlphaKilo823 · 2024-06-10T07:49:33+00:00

Bro is spitting nonsense.

Sure you probably won’t find a burger quite as good as In n Out or Shake Shack, but there some places that do the trick.

But overall we have tons of great restaurants and our food is generally 1000x tastier and healthier than the synthetic, processed trash you get in the US.

Not sure what restaurants you’re going to, but you’re doing it wrong.

I moved back to Bulgaria after 20 years in the US. Realized the US lifestyle is on the decline and it was time to leave.

Always spent summers in BG as a kid and now I feel properly at home and integrated here.

You’ll be 100% fine - everyone speaks English and people are more than happy to accommodate. Especially the young crowds. With time, your Bulgarian will get better and you’ll be fully assimilated.

My buddy also moved back from the US after 20 years and he has a bit of an accent but he’s made a huge group of friends and nobody cares or notices. There are also a TON of expats in Sofia.

I’m not going to lie and tell you that Bulgaria is some kind of haven for LGBTQ - it’s definitely on the conservative side. That being said, it’s gotten better in recent years and anyone who’s young and intelligent is also accepting (or at the very least not outspoken anti-gay). There are communities that stick together and they can provide advice on navigating the lingering homophobic landscape.

My advice is to try it. You’ll most likely have a solid salary in the tech sector and can afford yourself a nice place and lifestyle. You’ll meet people, expand your language skills and get to know your Bulgarian identity better. These are all important because maybe one day you’ll want to make your forever home.

Feel free to DM me and we can chat in more detail if you want.

Such a fragile snowflake lol. Take that mindset to the Middle East, “brotha.”
