But of course, I won't let a little fog get me down! The weather is actually amazingly warm. I went out this afternoon wearing a sweater over a t-shirt and my winter coat. After about 20 minutes of walking, I took off my coat because it was so warm. I was walking with a small daypack, my coat draped through it, an oversized sweater, and my bright, white running shoes (they are new!). I was completely a fish out of water. The Serbs are very fashionable. Most young (under 50) Serbian women have their hair cut very fashionably, are wearing boot over skinny jeans, and some kind of form fitting sweater. They all have cute jackets. I am not fashionable in the US, and I am definitely not fashionable here. Also, much to my dismay, Serbian women are mostly tall, thin, and beautiful. The young men all dress like you would see in most US cities. The puffy vest is very popular as is the spiky hair. Anyway, needless to say, it was obvious that I am NOT FROM HERE! I didn't even have to open my mouth for that to be clear.
I decided to walk around a different part of the city. And I came across a few interesting buildings and sites:
I think this is a gym. For some reason, it reminded me of this gym in Hudson that is on the floor above where we had some family gatherings. Don't ask me why!
I'm not sure what this is and if it is in the process of being build, being destroyed, or just neglected. But I thought it was interetesting, nonetheless.
Here was this secret woods that I found in the middle of the city. There was a wooden bridge and some stone steps. It was a bit spooky.
And finally, for those of you that are dissatisfied with our school system, here is a school in Belgrade. There were a bunch of kids playing right on the other side.
All in all, it was a good Saturday. Now I'm relaxing in my great new apartment equipped with my new pots and pans making a pot of soup. Perhaps not the most exciting Saturday night, but it suits me.
