My Serbian Experience... Highs: Meeting Marija who showed me around and who I hung out with while in Belgrade; peacefulness of the Belgrade Fortress; how comfortable I felt. Lows: Not having much time here since I stretched my time in Montenegro longer. Best Moment: Definitely being able to hang out with Marija and swapping stories with her. And then being given a 'key' that she wrote a note on. I told her I am going to keep it with me and if I ever feel a bit down, I am going to pull it out and it will put a smile on my face. Craziest Moment: Probably that I ended up going with a girl to stay with her at her apartment - even though I didn't even talk to her at all on my train ride (there was someone sitting in between us so I never really even saw her). Smells: The 'pekaras' (i.e. bakeries); rich chocolate aromas from my massage treatment. Sounds: Don't recall any. Sights: The Citadel; the main squares and parks. Tastes: Bureks; strudel; toasted sandwiches; iced gingerbread-type of cookies; goulash. Purchases: A pair of earrings. Street Food: Bureks; crepes; pizza; ice cream. Fun Food Finds: Western Companies Out Here: McDonald's; Zara; Mango; Lush. Other General Info... Visa needed? No. Type of currency? Serbian Dinars. About 55 dinars is equal to $1 US (kind of sad considering when my guidebook was written in 2006, it was equal to about 70 dinars!). Things Serbia Is Known For: The Yugoslav War; Vlade Divac. Religion: I am guessing Orthodox and some Muslim? Costs: $300 + 95 Euros (for my Belgrade - Athens flight). |
