2003 wasn't a good year in the 'Bul. HSBC bank, British Consulate, synagogues, branches of McDonalds all targeted. Dozens killed and hundreds injured and maimed.
But you just got on with things, apart from the Americans. They moved the consulate out to an armoured concrete blockhouse miles from the other consulates, way out in Yenikoy. The British rebuilt the consulate and it is business as usual.
