Pigeon Catching 101

I never thought I would see the day that I saw a child catch a pigeon. Throughout my entire life, I have watched, with much amusement and a certain level of disdain, children all over the world chase after the rats of the sky, arms out, in the hope of clasping onto the winged buggers … Continue reading »

Feed Me Kobasice

For some reason yesterday, I walked all the way out to Zemun. Thats a 6 km walk for those who don’t know. Sure, it isn’t much, but for a man of lack of total fitness, it is absolutely crippling. Still, its a really nice walk, all the way along the Danube river with a great … Continue reading »

Dobro dosli (nazad) u Beograd

This past thursday myself, Vesna and Mina took a few of the folk who are staying in the hostel out to Zemun to sample these bad boys, as I’ve spoken about pretty much … Continue reading »

Ja sam Edmund Hilary.

I guess this will be pretty short, as I am nursing a mighty hangover. Kenneth and Nathan, the two Kiwis from the train to Stansted, arrived in Beograd yesterday and re staying at the hostel, so we went out for a drink last night. First of all we went to a little bar to watch … Continue reading »

No ordinary sausage…

Look at me! A good little tourist! The church behind me by the way is the Cathedral of Saint Sava, the largest church in the Balkans and one of the 10 biggest in the world. It is pretty darn massive, and pretty darn glorious. The picture is relevant (honest) as today is the Orthodox Easter, … Continue reading »
