Belgrade aka: Beograd

great night life! :)

I lived here for 2 years :D And I`m going to Belgrade on next Monday, horray! What can I say, I love it ;)

During the civil war I flew via Belgarde airport to Sarajevo -> Tuzla. During this time ex Yugoslavia had a ban on flying.
So after getting off the UN chartered aircraft, I stepped out n a airport draped in silenece.
And when I say silence, I mean s i l e n c e !

It was like something from a X-files movie!

The only sound heard was the chitterchatter from birds flying overhead.

Scary!

Belgrade (Beograd) is the capital of Serbia, having about 1,6 million inhabitants. It is located in the south-east of Europe, in the Balkan Peninsula, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is one of the oldest cities in Europe and since ancient times it has been an important traffic focal point, an intersection of the roads of Eastern and Western Europe.

Belgrade is the capital of Serbian culture, education, science and economy. As a result of its tumultuous history, a lot nations have been living in Belgrade for centuries, and Serbs of Orthodox christian religion are the majority of population (90%).

I’ve already seen a lot of pictures of all the ex-yugoslavia but i still wonder how is the city like…and someday, in a not so distant future, i’ll go there and travel the hole country!
