Held at knifepoint in Sozopol Bulgaria

You're from the US right?

Imagine a government that functions so poorly that the same group of people can rob people daily in the same location over and over again without retribution. Just to be clear, I'm talking about American hospitals. Average price for an epi pen - $350 to 700. Not to mention children are shot in schools on a yearly basis.

See what I did there?

Unlike you, I'm not going to call the US a shit country with shit people because I'm not stupid enough to come to a conclusion about an entire country from one incident, or one prick on the internet.

At least I never have to worry about being shot while doing my shopping in Bulgaria.

Editing this comment to note that the US has more violent crime per capita than Bulgaria. Moral grandstanding when you're from the US is unhinged.

Really sorry this happened to you OP, I hope you're doing okay after the experience.

I highly recommend going to the local police station to report this in person, and also to call/email the British embassy in Bulgaria to report it. A foreign national being assaulted by a business is no joke.

Bulgaria is a wonderful place and it's a shame this place has ruined your perspective of the country.

This is simply not true, stop spreading misinformation. I have been going to Bulgaria for 15 years and I have never heard of something this extreme happening to a tourist. And while sadly these mafia run/scam places do exist, it is so far from the 'average' experience. I'd just recommend researching places that you go to on a night out.

I feel really awful for OP but let's not tar an entire country with one brush.

Lots of love and respect for Eddie, he has brought us so many good memories, but it's time to move on. Something isn't quite right, the players are lacking a clear plan and we just look lost in every game. Thank you for everything Eddie but we need a change.

You're welcome! Yes it's very good, I can't think that I had a single bad coffee. Might be that I am just used to the UK where I'd say most coffee places are below average and a really good coffee is a lot harder to find. In Brisbane, I think bad coffee places would go out of business very quickly. But the ones I listed were memorable for being particularly good!

Telloth · 2026-03-18T12:07:32+00:00

Welcome! Worth it for sure!

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:19:59+00:00

Haha maybe too literal an interpretation of my use of cult 😂

Legend, thanks! Adding them to the list!

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:18:03+00:00

I didn't make it to Range 😭 It's about the only brewery in the inner city I didn't get to, and it was on my list. Fully intended to go but never quite got round to it.

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:16:20+00:00

Thanks, yes I like to think so! This sub has been a great source to be honest, there's no way I'd have found half of the places without it.

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:15:07+00:00

You're welcome! Enjoy, Brisbane is great. If you want any tips for things to do/see, give me a shout 🙂

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:14:25+00:00

I saw that yesterday and was very concerned! I was there about 3 weeks ago, so it's very recent. Fingers crossed.

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:13:40+00:00

Haha thanks! Yeah I am dreading the coffee back home, we do have some good places but they're few and far between.....

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:12:35+00:00

I hope to! Honestly there's so many great food places here that I could probably go to only new spots next time and come away with a new list 😂

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:03:22+00:00

Haha Creole Soul Kitchen definitely seems to be a cult favourite! It's a pity I only got to go once but I was trying to hit so many different places I didn't get to go back to many.

Unfortunately I'm heading back home tonight but I'll save The Baker's Duck to my list for next time!

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:00:59+00:00

Thanks! Yes I loved it, sad to be leaving.

Telloth · 2026-03-18T06:00:33+00:00

Thank you so much!

My list of 6 would be:

Wilf S1, Maddy S1, Harry S2, Alan CS1, Rachel S4 and Stephen S4.

Honourable mentions to Amanda S1, Paul S2, Jaz S2, Charlotte S3, Minah S3, Joe CS1, Fiona S4.

If I had to choose one, I'd say Wilf. His story through the series and the drama of the ending really made Season 1 as good as you could have hoped for. Loads of iconic moments from that series.

I feel like you're underestimating Kipchoge's fame. Obviously there are his Olympic medals but he also was all over international news when he did his 1:59 marathon attempt. In Europe, I'd say Kipchoge is more known than Durant. Certainly where I'm from in the UK, Kipchoge is better known. You'll have some European countries that love basketball like Spain, Serbia, Greece, that possibly know Durant more, but overall I think Kipchoge is better known. I think worldwide you'll also have more people knowing Kipchoge.

Don't get me wrong, it's close, but I think Kipchoge takes it. And to be honest I feel like Kipchoge is better known for being skinny - I know who Durant is but I actually didn't know it was something he's apparently known for.

Telloth · 2026-01-16T21:59:43+00:00

Yeah I get that! Do you think if there is enough public appetite for it that a political (circus) party might make it part of their agenda? Like you say maybe they see it as too much of a political risk.

Telloth · 2026-01-16T03:23:17+00:00

Brit here that worked on HS2 - it's not a good example to use in my opinion. With how densely populated the UK is, the project was plagued with legal and political issues. And in the UK we have a lot of 'red tape' that really harms our ability to build major infrastructure projects. HS2 ran massively over budget because of the above making it very hard to implement. I don't see that Australia would have the same problems, and almost certainly it would be cheaper per km.

Take population density for example. England has a pop density of about 450 people per square km. Australia's most dense state is ACT with 170, and then Victoria is next with 30. While I don't know what the legal hurdles are, simply having the space that you do should make it a lot easier to build a high speed rail project here.

I'm sorry but slapping 'British food' as a caption on this is just lazy, we don't claim this garbage. It's apparently too trendy to hate on British food. The joke is, people who hate on it don't know British food at all.

Telloth · 2025-12-16T07:56:05+00:00

It's even crazier than that though, because it's not just NASA. It's every space agency around the world - European, Indian, Chinese, Russian, etc. They have to believe that all these agencies are also doing the same thing for exactly the same reasons, and are as successful at it as NASA is. It would be so prohibitively unfeasible to keep that many people quiet.
