The title of this post is the address of our home in Serb Cyrillic script. In English, is 27 Kozjаčka Street. Kozjačka is the name of a mountain range near the Serbian and Macedonian border.
I took some photos of the house and our yard so my family back home can see where we are living. The school provides our housing and we are very happy at how nice it is. The yard is nice for the kids and the gazebo above is spectacular. Pity I am not much of a griller because we have a beautiful stone BBQ.
Our house is actually and apartment. They call these old buildings here “villas” and they are usually rented out each floor or section. The ground floor is our basement and two car garage. The second floor is our home, and the third floor are two apartments. We also have exclusive access to the yard so it feels like a home. Nadia has made the house her own and worked hard at arranging the furniture and buying lamps and carpets to make it look to her taste.
For more views, just go to our flickr account to see the rest of the house.
The neighborhood (suburb) of Senjak is located in the south part of the city, near the Sava River. It definitely has a European feel, it is similar to Mediterranean style of architecture and narrow streets of my summers in Mallorca, Spain. It is contrast with New Belgrade across the river, that feels more American with its wide streets. We are a 10-15 minute walk to school that is mostly through parks and the shops are just down the block. The river has a nice bike path and there are many parks and embassies just south us.
