...center of Sofia brims with Old Country attractions--the changing of the presidential guard, streets made from yellow bricks gifted by Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I--but the city of 1.2 million is compact enough for visitors to venture to locales off the beaten track, like the communist monument turned skate park in Borisova Gradina and the Ladies' Market, where average-income Sofians do their shopping.

He cursed himself for having been popular enough to win. With no end to the mistreatment in sight, Liang told one friend he was considering drastic measures. On Nov. 25, he killed himself by swallowing pills...
