SERBIA beograd
man the people over here are so much friendlier than people in western europe. you can almost count on someone coming up to you and helping you out with directions and such if you look lost. and apparently, america is not well-liked over here. surprise, surprise. people who talked to me would make sure i did not tell others i was from the states, like it would decrease my chances of being helped. in any case, some quote-worthy conversations came about and are on my quotes page.
we heard great things about the nightlife in beograd, but we must have been hitting up wrong spots or not asking the right people since we didn´t find much. a couple of drinks here and there. that was it. but beograd has a really inviting fortress compound/park, which is open at night. i may sound like a bum but i love hanging out in parks at night! i would definitely recommend exploring the sprawling area to get views of the city like our hostel did. what else did we do at the park? kick around soccer balls of course.
we also went to “the beach.” well, this “beach” was the murkiest lake i have ever seen, and probably not any bigger than 400 yards long and about 100 yards wide. so more like a big pool of standing water. . .but since it is the closest water source to beograd center, people kept calling it the “beach.” i saw it and thought, “sick” but lying out on this crowded shore was still relaxing. haha. . .
