Indeed :)
Thank you! :)

What I love in particular about all European capital cities is they have so long history and are full of stories.
Some of the big cities in Bulgaria have changed their names more than ten times back in the centuries... ;)

History is fascinating, given we learn its lessons and do not repeat the mistakes.
This century, however, many mistakes repeated.

True, so true :)

Unfortunately you seem right about that second part. We all are so short-sighted sometimes... Most of the times.
