Villa Mondo Belgrade

... recently toured across Croatia. It's felt a bit weird riding behind him as a poofy pillion when I was supposed to be riding alongside him, but he's been a good sport about it.<br><br>But above all he's an awesome host (actually, his very cool girlfriend Masha deserves at least equal credit, patiently babysitting the clueless Asian tourist at the club when Johnie has to turn in early to ...

... kind-hearted voice began wavering. With each note she sang, her tone changed directions several times. Enjoying the night, I patted her knee and said, "Good job." She smiled and said they were singing traditional and gypsy songs now. These were her specialty. She and the girls were students in the University of Belgrade's music department. At one a.m., Ana was one of the first to leave. In the darkness, she told me that not only the love in Serbia was ...

... any way different or set back cultures usually referred to as uncivilized. Some of those cultures are placed in the hart of Europe, some in Africa, others in Middle East, but the fact is that our intolerance to different cultures is growing each day we choose to be concentrated on what is set as a cultural model by the mighty western societies. Difference is what makes ...

... bus was travelling from Banja Luka (capital of the autonomous Serbian republic in Bosnia) to Belgrade- not that you're that interested. The main roads in Serbia seem to range from vast modern highways to small country roads that really shouldn't be used for anything other than the occasional tractor. Not that this stops coaches ploughing down them. As we pulled onto the main highway towards Belgrade I called my parents to let them know I was still ...

... st offýce. The unfrýendly lady workýng there suggested one place nearby. Of course I had dýffýculty fýndýng ýt but a polýceman helped me out. I should mentýon that very few people (especýally the older generatýon) speak Englýsh here but ýt always worked out. WIth hand gestures and basýc words, I was able to explaýn what I was lookýng for and they were able to explaýn how I could fýnd ýt. The hostel I went to was unfortunately full. The nýce guy workýng at the ...

... with two of the Serbs I had arrived with (they werenæt as in to metal as the others, and were going home) and a Slovene girl who spoke very good english (well, all of them did), the Serbs informed me that there would be another war if Kosovo became independent (and one of them said he would fight for Kosovo)- eventually they got off the train and me and the Slovene carried on- I almost got kicked off, but my EU passport persuded the Serb to leave me ...

... over the past 20 years, especially during the early to mid 90's. The division or independence of these countries has come at a huge price for the local people. Ethnic tensions were high in the early 1990s as one state after another began seeking independence. Slovenia was first, and the result was the 10-Day War, or Slovenian War between Yugoslav forces and Slovenia eventually resulting in Slovenia's ...

... into a mess. But it was still some fun. After we left the building, we saw that guy was stuck in the snow on the hill at the settlement. So we helped him out and pushed him into his driveway. For some reason his friend didn't want us to help him move his own car, he was mad and screaming at us. These people in Serbia are very stubborn. That one Roma settlement was the oldest in ...
