Nikola Yanakiev is a Cambridge student renowned for his sultry voice and commitment to liberal pluralism. Nikola recently sat down with TCS to discuss his home country, Bulgaria. His answers have been lightly edited to avoid tedium.
TCS: I have forty-eight hours to spend in Sofia. What should I do?
NY: I would suggest dedicating the first day to sightseeing in the city. Start by finding a place to have breakfast – somewhere where they serve Banitsa and Ayran. Then stroll through the capital, visiting the following places along the way: the Ivan Vasov National Theatre; the Ivan Vasov Museum; the Sveti Nikolay Mirlikiiski church; the St. Aleksandar Nevski Cathedral; the St. George church-rotunda; the St. Sofia monument; the Serdika Fortress.
