The Beginning of the End

Background
I worked at a top-ranked advertising agency for the past 3.5 years and recently just got laid off. I fancied two options: working on another piece of business (doing the same shit) or taking the severance package and running.

It's going to be insane -- I've never traveled overseas as an adult. I've never lived outside of Los Angeles. I've never been away from my family for more than three weeks. I've never even backpacked, and the longest amount of cold I've experienced was during weekend trips to Mammoth -- with aged whiskeys, hot jacuzzis, and winter green to ease my soul after a long day of snowboarding.

Admittedly, I'm scared shitless of what I may be getting myself into; but at the same time, I'm pretty excited to see what I may be getting myself out of.

Contact

The only way to contact me is to leave comments on this blog, Facebook or via email (proefound@yahoo.com). Other than that, I've decided to fuck off.

Wish me lush.

COOLEST BAR I'VE EVER BEEN TO

Obvious enough, I'm all about underground culture and random, obscure places. Sofia is home to a lot of crazy, truly really rarely, hidden bars. Surely enough, I entered what I deem to be the coolest (fucking) bar, ever. I was mad skeptical at first when Vickey and George started leading me down this weird passageway...















"Like, what the fuck? Looks like this is where convicted sex offenders live. Am I going to get raped?"
















"Fuck, ok, be gentle."

















"Holy shit, can I live here?"

...turns out the bar is truly hidden. And as you can see, it is only lit by candlelight. We were sitting at the bar, but right behind is a big, open room with a big upper deck. So you can see everyone while you're chilling, but it was mad eerie and loungy. I wanted to take more pictures, but the bartenders (these cute little girls) didn't allow them. The music was rare grooves, soul and breakbeats. The drinks were stiff.

This doesn't exist in the States. Fuck, this was the most impressive place I've ever been to. And again, only people in-the-know are privy to this. All word of mouth, no signs, no audible noise from the outside. Definitely a first date spot.
