Goodbye, it's been fun!

By the way, how did you guess he's Bulgarian? Nickolai can be Russian, Serbian,
Romanian, etc... You guessed right, by the way.

Well, it took me 5 seconds to figure out and probably will take 3 minutes to explain but here goes;

As a 60 year old, he probably used Nikolai because that's his real name. Assuming that, one thinks of the countries where a name like that is used. You get essentially a line from Serbia/Bulgaria to Russia, with Bulgaria and Russia as the most likely.

Remembering that he mentioned he doesn't speak russian at some point, that knocks out Russia, and the Ukraine (a 60 year old would most likely speak it there).

We're left with Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Romania is out because Nicolae or Nicola would be used there. Serbia is out because he said he will have expensive internet, not barely any internet. (Anyone who reads the CIA factbook every few years knows that about 1/4 of Bulgaria's population has internet access, while Serbia is more like 1/10)

That leaves Bulgaria as a very likely location, so that was my guess.

(By the way, I'm not from any of those countries, and my name doesn't start with an N)

I had no idea that such individuals exist outside of stories.

What, Americans that can distinguish eastern european nations and even know a thing about their history? Oh yes, they do, but they're never people in front of cameras, like politicans or film stars...

Actually, I hoped you'd realize that I quoted one mr. Watson.

I have to react. Serbia is not in the dark ages either and we have plenty of internet access, just for the record. BTW, Nikola would be the name used in Serbia.
