... turned out to be blueberry and was very good, really creamy. Then a lime green drink which turned out to be sweet green apple and although none of the flavours were real it did taste good. They also have strawberry juice which is pretty good and very sweet.<br><br>I met a girl who was the EVS in Bulgaria for the SCI branch, but she wasn't coming to the SAVA meeting because her project failed. <br><br>The people were really cool they would come up and help you ...

... seems to want nothing to do with me, probably some Euro-trash who's 'more backpack than thou', afraid that contact with another groover might spoil the authenticity of his experience. Maybe he's right. Two can play that game I guess. Who needs him anyhow? He seems to be rapping with the drivers, probably hasn't even realized yet that they don't understand a word of his English pidgin ****. So we head off into the hazh-pazh countryside ...

... looked so good. Either that, or they were wondering what the heck a red headed, H&amp;M toting, little american was doing on a sunday afternoon, busting out a picnic in the middle of a very snowy Skopje. The parliment is very amusing because I dont think Ive ever seen that many country flags in one place. I mean, EU likes to throw up a number of flags that equals admitted countries, but even so, it wasnt many compared to the ...

... arþýlar. Yabancýlýk çekmiyorsunuz hiç. Köprüde atletik yapýlý bir Mostar'lý genç geleneksel atlayýþýný yaptý. Evlenecek erkeðin cesaretini kanýtlamak için düðünde Mostar Köprüsü'nden atlama geleneði de hala devam ediyor. Ancak, bu geleneðin, yöredeki gençler için son yýllarda para kazanma amaçlý kullanýlmaya baþlamasý hepimizin dikkatini çekiyor. Yaklaþýk 2 saatlik bir yolculuktan sonra nihayet gezimizin son duraðý Saraybosna'ya varýyoruz. Çok büyük katliamlarýn yaþand ...

... make it without eggs cause Sashe doesn't like it with eggs- so who is spoiled?!!!- Sashe must raise his hands!!!!Hehe- Just joking. Today we had a visit from Marija's little cousin, Angela. She couldn't wait to meet me, I guess. When she got to come here, she greeted me with "hi, Brandie". So cute! She practiced all morning. So, Angela is 6yrs old and she just started school yesterday. This is the first year they have allowed 6yr olds go to school. It ...

... to no avail. If it doesnt boot up tomorrow we are in some serious trouble cause we start shooting monday. I spent a few hours testing lenses and organizing equipment, then I headed off with two people, Ana, and Victor, to a tiny city 45 minutes outside of Skopje to do some shady (seriously) business. Afterwords we ate at a nice cafe kind of place (I had meat, stuffed with more meat and cheese deep fried ...

... Oh well. Off to Serbia tonight. I've got some CouchSurfing lined up from the 10th in Belgrade. The trick now is working out the day before. Novi Sad is already packed with people ahead of the Exit Festival and the hotel I contacted in Subotica hasn't bothered to reply to my reservation request. I guess it's going to be one of those "get into town and figure it out" things. I'm sure something will work out, preferably without too much expense.

... had fallen through the whole in the floor between the two carriages and on to the tracks. No food, no beer, no cigarettes. By now we had made friends, a greek guy, Gregorios, a serbian guy, a fiercly nationalistic macedonian guy and a couple of serbian oldies. Soon enough we had a compartment, Gregorios pulled out an MP3 player and a bottle of rijeka, serbian brandy with about 60% alcohol, and it soon became a riot. 8 hours later, in an ...

... which isn't so dreary when it is filled with lively people. It was a far stretch from our first night here only 3 nights prior. We stopped at a little cafe for some great food. I have to expound on the Macedonian food. It isn't that it is any better than anywhere else but it is so much cheaper that it is worth talking about. I ordered a Macedonian Casserole(the specialty of this particular restaurant) and it was a clay pot topped ...

... As part of this deal,S**bian armed forces w**e even denied access to a buff** zone on the p**imet** of Kosovo and S**bia,for fear of a count** attack on their part.This,howev**,was capitalised on by the Albanians,who began anoth** gu**illa insurgency by forces called UCPMB,who raided across the bord** to attack unarmed S**b police units in the majority Albanian villages in South S**bia of Presevo,Medveda,andBujanovac,hence the rebel army's name ...
