SRECNA Nova Godina, BELGRADE!
Who knows how many femurs are the other parties night, who knows how many of you will wake up with unexplained bruises and unknown number of ailments, who knows how many tumbles and pirouettes ... seemingly innocuous drizzle of the afternoon in fact, an accomplice after the temperature dropped well below zero, has turned into a giant bobsled all city. Especially the humblest sidewalks, which makes a return home of those who had gone out and - to the sound of Racha - had celebrated the advent of the new year (according to the Orthodox calendar, was celebrated on the night between 13 and 14).
local outlet of the gay Belgrade quite staggering, and not just to alcohol: if the most intrepid attacked the ice skating, many maidens took in hand the Knight on duty, who realized that under certain conditions the boots with heels are not a great idea. He walked like penguins, with short steps and slow, cautious pace, if the minor roads of the road, cleaner under the passage of the machines seemed to be a winning solution, perhaps the sidewalk on main arterial roads seemed more advisable (the accomplice alcohol content of drivers and the risk of skidding, which increases more than proportionally with increasing speed). Apart from skiing off the bus a long night ended with a tackle at the bus stop shelter (a About The ticket I hope you buy a lot of medicine with the rest of 31 dinars, which I refused for reasons still obscure: it is not the damage to bother me, it's less than half a euro, but the insult of being "duped" as a foreigner ), the walk back home was slow, quiet and fun. Accomplice in the absence of alcohol, which does not lessen the cold. The problem 'still relevant', as the free press reported this morning, and as I thought while I skated in an alley, saved by the quick-setting of an energetic little old.
in the Italian collective, Eastern Europe is synonymous with cold, ice, gray square tower blocks, widespread poverty, ultraricchezza concentrated in the hands of a few Orthodox churches, Cyrillic, hammers and sickles, widespread crime, long lines at markets, drunks busby-equipped and beautiful women, usually tall, blonde and free of cellulite, loose morals and fairly venal. Never mind that Lithuania, Hungary, Russia, Bucharest, Warsaw or Prague instill ... what's the difference?
Doubtless, the snowy landscape "is very eastern Europe also in Belgrade: Serbian people of chilled expressions highlight the very character of Slavic faces. While walking the streets while waiting for public transport, as they shop in markets, and sweep the snow from the sidewalks (men with shovels, the women with brooms), his eyes green or blue gain vitality, standing between brisk snowy hats, scarves and wrinkles that mark the clear skin that blushes intensely at the cheeks and nose: the most distinctive hotels in the expressions faces of the elderly, sometimes tired and lost, darkened and sometimes pensive, sometimes smiling and energetic.
The salt is usually distributed by hand, a little 'how mondine sow the rice, while the streets have always been substantially cleaned of snow by virtue of the passage: the movement of vehicles and public transport has been constantly adjusted. Belgrade seemed to Copenhagen during the holidays: everything was sorted, There was no one around, the shops were closed, the quiet streets, deserted and devoid of traffic, all wrapped in whiteness of the snow, which has become ugly, muddy and dark due to return to the city, after the Christmas holidays, traffic, litter, noise and general confusion, making the city again recognize in its turbulent nature, chaotic, disorganized and edgy, but also lively, colorful, colorful and carefree.
And it is surprisingly light, too round: the bold energy policy Tadic (skillful in getting gas from Hungary and Germany, staunch and generous in providing emergency aid to Sarajevo, once the Serbian situation seemed close to normal) and the (temporary?) thaw between Moscow and Kiev, makes it possible to illuminate back "on holiday" the center and its Christmas decorations, just after the last day of the Serb. And right now that the holidays are over.
So it begins: Srecna nova godina, Belgrade!
