Indeed. Europe is not just the Western part. I think you’ll find the Balkans surprisingly nice.

i stumbled into bulgaria due to a connection i had to the psychedelic community spiritplants back in the 00s one guy in it located in sofia, and had the opportunity present itself to go there and check it out. everything tauri says was exactly my experience. sofia itself has an extremely fascinating street culture as well that you can see painted on the walls everywhere, there was a strong cyberpunk/psychedelic scene going on in the background as well. in 2022 i saw many graffitos around varna about the scamdemic too, and during that period it was only in large shopping centers where the psyop was being done, small shops hardly any of them demanded you mask to enter.
