This country is a happening spot in the middle of the Balkans
When you say the name Serbia, an image pops into people’s heads of a war torn country. In fact the exact opposite is true as they are doing everything they can to get their economy back on track. Belgrade is one of the most beautiful capital cities in the Balkans next to Skopje of course. The people are very friends….oh and the women are gorgeous (I think the water is better there). People for some reason are still scared to go there and I have no idea why. Blaming every Serbian person for the stuff that happened in the 90’s is absurd. It is like blaming every US citizen for everything our president does. The populace does not represent what happens and I wish people would get around that.
Like I said, Belgrade is a beautiful city. It is located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, and this is what makes the city special. The downtown area is great with a great café scene in many places that you go. The food is typical from that region with a lot of meat and vegetables. The history there is as you know awesome!!!! I have gone to great lengths to walk through as much of the city as I can and I must say I am impressed with how well it has gotten back on track in less than 20 years. It is such a peaceful and relaxed environment that I have actually looked into teaching at the international school there….
The other major city I went to was of course the birthplace of Constantine, and that city is Nis. It is the third biggest city in Serbia and has a small town feel to it. There is of course a pretty little café district (see the pictures) with a lot of the communist/rebel leaders from the past history which was interesting. The people just go about their daily lives doing whatever as it was a very relaxed place…..
