Today was a bit of an exhausting day, and it's already past midnight. So, hypothetical reader, I think I'm going to make some observations and let you piece together the narrative of my night. Take that, traditional storytelling!

- The Irish pub down the block from the Russian embassy is absurdly crowded for a Thursday night. Upon relating this to host-dad, he laughed, said "Every pub is crowded every night," and went back to reading the paper.
- The Sava River is freaking gorgeous by moonlight. Something about the curve of the river, plus the running of the bridge, and the reflection of the lights of Novi Beograd, just add up into a veritable living painting. I advise walking along it some time.
- Hearing alarms go off by an embassy rarely heralds good news.
- The Japanese have a word that encompasses the awareness of the transient nature of all things. Ever think that we're doing it wrong when it comes to English?
- I have officially mastered enough Serbian to navigate my way through ordering in a restaurant. Shame they won't be serving food at tomorrow's test.
