Great video! We're headed there in a couple of months and have added a couple more things to see, thanks to you. It reminds me a lot of Warsaw.

Just come back from here. Whilst there was some lovely sites, the place needs a lot of work with roads that cause accidents to pedestrians. Shops and buildings that are empty or in need of repair.
