[09.04.2008] The Belgrade Marathon is one Belgrade's favorite and biggest events. On Marathon's day streets are crowded with people who came to watch the race start and spend a nice day with their families and friends, take a walk and sit in many pavement cafes, while waiting for the closing ceremony. There's no traffic on the streets and weather is usually very nice, so there are many babies, children and pets running around and [more]

[07.04.2008] When I went to San Francisco, back in 1991, with group of students, one of the first things we wanted to see was the Transamerica Pyramid. It was almost impossible for us to think about San Francisco without seeing in our mind's eye the famous Pyramid looking at the Bay. It became even more famous after the big earthquake in Bay Area (two years earlier, in 1989), when it was shaking for more than one minute, but rema [more]

[04.04.2008] Kuća cveća, or the House of Flowers, is the place where controversial Yugoslav president lies. From his death, 04th May 1980, over 17 millions people visited his grave. In first few years long waiting lines were everyday picture in front of the House of Flowers, but now days the number of visitors is about 15.000 people a year, but with tendency to increase. At first, it was the part of the Memorial Center Josip Br [more]

[03.04.2008] Konak kneginje Ljubice is one of my favorite places in Belgrade. But, first, let me explain you what this name means. The word "konak" is an old Serbian word for "residence" or "place to sleep", "kneginja" is pronounced as "kneghinya" and it is a title similar to duchess, but at that time (end of 19th century) it was the highest title, as her husband, knez Miloš Obrenović (pronounced as Milosh Obrenovich) was the s [more]

[01.04.2008] When I went to Tunisia for the third time, I've decided to go in Sousse again to see if I can improve my bad impression, which was completely opposite from the experience that I had in Hammamet on the year before. My husband couldn't go with us because of his job, but I felt as quite "experienced Tunisian traveler", so I've decided that I can manage to go alone with our daughter. This time I choose not to stay in art [more]

[01.04.2008] Belgrade "Nikola Tesla" Airport is located some 20 km from Belgrade. Since Belgrade is a city of two million inhabitants, you would expect a much larger airport, but even this one seems to be big enough. It has only one runway, so delays of all sorts are not unexpected, but surprisingly rare. It is consisted of two buildings which are simply called Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. There is not much to see in Terminal 1, as [more]

[28.03.2008] The Red Light District is a "must see" in Amsterdam. As the name indicates, it is a street with brothels and ladies of the night. What makes it so special is the fact it is not in suburbia or some part of the town where you normally wouldn't go, but almost in the center of the city. Nothing can warn you that you are about to enter the one of the world's most famous red light districts - you could take a walk around c [more]

[28.03.2008] Since there is a very detailed review on this museum, with all necessary information, I will write only about my personal impression. I have visited Amsterdam ten years ago (1998), just before changing Guldens to Euros. I didn't have a lot of money, but Van Gogh museum was the place I just had to visit, since he is my favorite painter of all times. The museum is a little bit dislocated from all other interesting [more]

[27.03.2008] Ubud is known for its artists' colonies and you can buy some really precious pieces of art there, but prices are respectively higher as the colony and individual artists is more recognized. Still, the Ubud Art market is a must see thing for sure. If you haven't planned to buy art from recognized artists, but you still want to take home some artistic souvenirs, this is the best place for you. Although unrecognized art [more]

[26.03.2008] The hotel has 4 stars, but I have enjoyed much better service in a 3 stars hotel in Hammamet. Most problems are caused by generally unfriendly staff - they expect you to tip them first, before they show any attention to you. If you are stubborn, like I am, and refuse to be a "naive tourist" with a "lot of money" who's willing to pay before he receives any kind of service, then prepare yourself to be completely ignore [more]
