Your article was very encouraging. I am also pretty fluent in Spanish. I did a google search for cognates and serbian and found your page. I have been studying the language for about 6 months now. It's starting to get more difficult with all the tenses! I love the two alphabets! I took a lot of diction classes in college and they are REALLY paying off now learning Serbian!

I get to see the other side of the Marathon. I've been to every race in Belgrade since 2006 when my then athlete Japhet Kosgei broke the course record (I am an athlete agent). Maybe one of this days I will participate in the 10km race and be the only Kenyan being run over by everybody :) Have fun as you prep for next year guys. Nice to read pages like this.

The Serbs are more like the Italians and Spaniards, they enjoy life and value family, friends, and good times over efficiency and production. Most Belgraders can't afford the high prices in the two big malls in the city, but they seem to be doing okay. Michele – Serbia definitely is not Asia.

I understand that the economy is not healthy in Serbia. I am currently attached to a Pharma group, Swiss. On this shopping mall and other which I have seen during my visit last year, it is lacking in personality and colour. A mall like this in Asia would be considered pretty plain. Yes, things are pricier in Belgrade. Who buys the stuff? I am a Malaysian Chinese, about to relocate to Belgrade. I understand that the economy is not healthy in Serbia.

I attended Red Star versus Partizan this past fall. My neighbors were telling me about why an obscure Canadian television series "Tropical Heat" was so popular here. The actor who played Nick Slaughter has been shocked during his visit here. I read the B 92 article. Hilarious! I bet he is thinking, I should have come 10 years ago.

That's why when there is som big matches in Serbia people are told to come to the stadium at least an hour - hour and a halt earlyer. How did you like the atmoshphere at the stadium? :) And just to correct you - there were no soldiers on the stadium :) just police and special police forces know as "riot squad"... I assume that was the guy that helped you. I live to read you blog and I hope you're enjoying your staying here in Serbia... All the best! P.S. Write something about Nick Slaughte (Rob Stewart, lead actor in 90-ties tw show Topical Heat) :) He's here and he's making documentary about his popularity in Serbia and how his character Nick Slaughter became so popular on students protests against Milosevic. Just type Nick Slaughter (Nik Sloter) on youtube :) Hehe Bill… you probably heard this sentence 1000 times “You’re in Serbia” :)
