Ja se izvinjavam svima koje ce moje reci uznemiriti, ali meni ne mogu Kinezi biti blizi ni drazi od Crnogoraca, Bosanaca i Hrvata.
Ne mogu ni da poverujem sa nekome u Srbiji jesu.
Serbia first impressions: won't be going back
I spent last week in Serbia following my "Egypt rule": short stays in new countries in case they totally suck. And, it sucked. Oh well.
The good: the women are beautiful. When was the last time you saw an attractive woman in the US work behind a counter? 2003? Beautiful women in the US might as well be wearing hijabs, because you never see them in public. In Serbia, 8/10's are everywhere. We need to bring back cigarettes & fat shaming.
The bad: everything else.
The food: they love cevapi (minced meat rolled into sausage shapes). It's flavorless beef with a few onions on pita. Smoking countries often have trash food because they can't taste anything, so this was expected.
The history: shockingly nonexistent, but how? 2 world wars started here. Communism's rise & fall. Dictator to democracy. Yugoslavia's break-up. And... nothing. There's no evidence any of this happened, no one recorded anything. Many countries, you don't even have to try to find history. In Tirana (Albania), military bunkers from the dictator are scattered throughout the city. They've been converted into museums, art galleries, and bars. You'll find them just by walking. We took a few tours in Serbia. Nothing.
Belgrade: absolute shithole. Everything smells like pee (because they pee in the streets). Bad internet. Loud. Dirty. Hot, AC didn't work well at either of our stays. Last night was the first good night's sleep I had in a week. I was like a zombie.
The people: these are the nicest retards you'll ever meet.
Our first AirBnb smelled like pee (a problem with all Belgrade garden apartments since they pee in the street). I don't know how the host didn't recognize this, but she refunded us 100%. We checked into a hotel.
I went to get a pizza to-go since the food sucks. It took forever, and then the owner discovered he didn't have any more pizza boxes. So, I went home with the wooden board from the restaurant. That I then had to return with a 20 minute walk later.
A tour guide took us to a restaurant that only took cash (which our guide knew we didn't have!). So, our guide had to pay for our meal, we said we'd pay him back. Problem: that cash was our gas money. Our guide didn't tell us until we ran out of gas. π€‘
Serbians are some of the warmest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. Also some of the dumbest.
The culture lives to drink & smoke. I drink occasionally, and never smoke. Thus, the country doesn't have much to offer me.
