Musings about Serbia

This is kinda random but here are some things from the past few days.
1.  Gotta brag on my wife - boxed and prepared foods are hard to find here and if you do find them they are about 4X the cost as in the States.  Jen has been preparing awsome meals from scratch and we are eating well. 
2.  I do about two loads of laundry a day in the worlds tinitest washing machine - then we hang it to dry. (of course I could be in a third world country with a bucket)
3.  Cigarette smoke is overwhelming here.  Serbs smoke eerywhere - even in the mall!
4.  The people are great they love to help out and we have not had any rude encounters yet.
5.  I love our neighborhood - we have a great Cafe (coffee shop) I visit daily as well as the pekara (bakery). 
6.  So far so good on the busses - this week I will be super exploring using the busses - bound to get lost.
7.  The super expensive mall (Usce) used to be the Yougaslov Communist headquarters - hows that for Irony! (see picture below)

8.  Europeans know how to package things and reduce waist - they use very little cardboard packaging and plastic bottles.  Mostly things come in pouches.
That's just a few random thoughts - hope you enjoy
