Just got back from an hour of wandering. Going to the theater and headed out after, so I'll just go with some observations for today:
Srpski word of the day: Venac (Венац): Market(place)
- Beograd's roads keep the same names while turning, change names while going straight, and occasionally just melt into nothingness. Act accordingly.
- The stray dogs and the people here form wonderful relationships. Our tour guide said that the little bear of a husky who followed us around helps "guard the group" when they go to Kalemegdan.
- Beograd has been destroyed over 40 times and occupied over 60. They're doing pretty well for themselves, all things considered.
- I was attacked on the street today. I owe my survival to my formidable combat skills, my intimidating visage, and the fact that my attackers were seven and nine years old respectively. Persistent little guys, regardless.
- Italian food in Beograd? Surprisingly good.
- Tour guides are another one of those constants--the good ones are knowledgeable, sassy, and oversharing.
