This past weekend's fever has convinced me to get on the stick and see a doctor. My colleague Hal recommends: <blockquote> <i>"<strong>Biocheck,</strong> 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)."</i> </blockquote> Thanks Hal! http://radio.weblogs.com/0101982/categories/exPatTips/2002/10/16.html#a26 Wed, 16 Oct 2002 09:51:47 GMT http://radio.weblogs.com/0101982/categories/exPatTips/2002/10/07.html#a18 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 <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0101982/categories/Ex-patTips/">category in my blog for ex-pats living in Bulgaria</a>. And now for my first story relating to this topic: <a href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0101982/stories/2002/10/07/visitingTheUkrainianEmbassyInSofiaBulgaria.html">Visiting the Ukrainian Embassy in Sofia Bulgaria</a>. http://radio.weblogs.com/0101982/categories/exPatTips/2002/10/07.html#a18 Mon, 07 Oct 2002 15:34:56 GMT
