This portion of my trip is much different than anything i've ever done.
It's different being surrounded by another language and not having your classmates to talk to about the different culture on a daily basis. i've only done guided tours through other countries and now i'm living the culture. Seeing gypsies on a daily basis, eating a TON of food. riding the bus, figuring out what milana and her parents are saying when they're talking to themselves.
tara's mom is so cute, she tries to speak english and she does very well! i'm very impressed. PS sorry its beens so long since i've written. Today we went to the fortress Kalemegdan. It was beautiful, on the inside of the walls its a beautiful park now. Children were running around, there was an old man sleeping on a bench while he was sitting up and leaning on a cane. Its cute how couples dont mind cuddling in public on benches...thats one thing that i find very nice. Here, even in austria and czech rep. there was so much more hand holding and spouses being openly fond of eachother. Old couples would walk down the street holding hands, laughing....you never see that in the states. this is the first time that ive been able to sit on a computer for an extended period of time and not worry about paying for internet! :D yay! both milana and tara's family is so welcoming, all they want to do is make me happy...you want coffee or tea? you hungry? you tired? wanna go on a walk? lol, its funny to see.
Tomorrow we're going to a monestary. its in the countryside which will be a good change of scenery. the college olympic games are going on here in belgrade right now so there's an extra 20,000 people here. i accidently took a 5 hr nap today at about 5:30...so now its 1:36am and i'm not tired. :P But i'll probably wrap this up and try to sleep. I hope all is well in the states, and believe me, i miss you guys a lot. I cant wait to tell you my next adventure!!! have a great evening (your time) and i'll be going to bed very soon.
Love you,
Amanda
