Wild Belgrade

Some of you may have preconceived notions of Serbia based on things that have happened here in the recent past.  I'm here to let you all know that Belgrade and Serbia are great places, but they can be a little bit wild.

Here was some wild-life that I observed:

There is a tiger in the trash!  Rarh!

What will you be doing on Wednesday?  Here is one option (3/2/10 is Feb 3, 2010 outside of the US)

Also, the weather has been cold.  Not Indiana or Chicago cold, but cold for me after spending the last 10 winters south of the Mason/Dixon line.  We had a nice little snow storm on Wednesday.  It was very pretty.  Unfortunately, this was the day I had to drive to Maglić where the factory is located to give a tour to a Greek marketing guy who was in Serbia to see our capability and new innovation.  The plow drivers were on strike, so it was definitely challenging and stressful to drive.  It's time like this that I'm thankful that 1) I grew up driving in snow 2) I grew up driving on less-than-great country roads and 3) I know how to drive a manual.

But you can see for yourself how the snow allowed Belgrade to live up to it's name (white city):

Happy Winter!
