I've been suffering from flu-like symptoms ever since I got back from India five weeks ago. This past weekend's fever has convinced me to get on the stick and see a doctor. My colleague Hal recommends:

"Biocheck, 31 Ekzarh Yosef St. It's the street that comes off Maria Louisa right after the Mosque, to the right (opposite from Hallite), first block, on the left. They do have a pharmacy there and pretty competent medical attention by most accounts. We have purchased a family subsrciption which costs $200/year with free service. A good deal. Generally they are not too busy so you can just walk in. Not much English though (but some French)."

Thanks Hal!

Today I spent some time at the Ukrainian Embassy getting my visa for an upcoming trip. The folks at the Embassy were very cordial; they even processed my visa in three hours. During the drive back in the taxi, I decided I should add a category in my blog for ex-pats living in Bulgaria. And now for my first story relating to this topic: Visiting the Ukrainian Embassy in Sofia Bulgaria.
