The capital tour continues

Arrived in Belgrade, Serbia, yesterday morning. Had a good trip from Budapest with some new friends on the train. Not that much time for sleeping, but that`s not necessary every night. I do start to realize that being a Swede gives you a lot of advantages while passing borders. I thought about that before I left Stockholm and now, on the border from Hungary to Serbia I understood how good it is sometimes. The border polices took some five minutes for checking american and serbian passports, but just some seconds for mine.

Yesterday I took another of those long walks through towns that I already like. I`ve been to Belgrade twice before and I`m in love with this town. The cafes, pubs, bars and clubs are always crowded and people seems to enjoy their life although there are some big problems in the country. I did spend some time in the bohemian quarters during the day, and later on I ended up in a jazz/blues-bar with live music. After a while I realized that part of the menu were in swedish. Of course I was surprised by this fact, but later I found out that the owner was from Sweden. Sometimes it`s hard to use the english language over here so it was quite nice to speak swedish instead. People from my country seems to be all over Europe. Milano, Venice, Budapest and now Belgrade...

Since a couple of years ago I`ve had a dream to see a football game with Red Star Belgrade and today this dream became trough. Crazy crowd, yes!

Still having a hard time with uploading photos and videos, the computers and the internet connection aren`t made for that in the places I stay. But I might some good place in the next town I visit, can you guess which one that is?

Talk about a dream. Try to make it real.

Love, love, love... Only love.
