A whole underground city exists under Sofia streets. Hundreds of kilometers of tunnels spread under the capital. Some of them are so big that buses can pass through them.
Nowadays the catacombs host thousands of clochards. Witnesses say, ten to twenty thousand people live there. "These figures are unrealistic," said Sofia Mayor Boyko Borissov but he could give the exact number of the homeless living in the tunnels
Jordan Todorov says: "I was surprised to learn recently about the underground tunnel in Mexico. Exactly at the same time some Bulgarian newspapers published simmilar kind of stories.
"According to Standart daily newspaper under the Bulgarian capital Sofia there's a thousands of kilometres of tunnels built between Roman times and Communist regime. They shelter about 20 000 people - most of them are criminals and bums."
Reading this headline the font blurred on me and for a second thought it said Thousands Living In Tunnels Under Sofa.
I thought it was going to be about Kerry voters who are still agoraphobic.
Now that is a real problem
