From now on I try to write mostly in English because I already gave the address to many non-german people. I spent two nights at Andras, a friend of my sister. The first evening we were out with colleagues of him, eating and drinking something. One colleague says he's pessimistic and says that is so dangerous. Hungary is the border of civilization and there are many unfriendly people in the next countries. But I think there will be much more friendly people than unfriendly. He cannot understand why someone is voluntarily going out of civilization. On Saturday I rode to the lake valencei-to, a good alternative to the Balaton lake, as Andras suggested. It was nice, but extremely windy, so I couldnt stay there long time, but I took a bath, of course. At next morning ... read more

I quarreled a bit with the girl just the day before leaving for Beograde. My spirits were very low. I did not want to go anywhere and to do anything. My train was leaving almost at midnight. The pleasant thing was my short walk on the Nevsky Prospect just before leaving. When I arrived to Moscow I felt still sleepy and gloomy due to the lack of sleep. I was falling asleep all the morning before the flight. We had very shaky landing in Beograde, due to the clouds, perhaps. I was getting more excited little by little. I arrived to Belgrade and took a city map at the information desk. It was necessary to take the bus to the city centre. I asked the bus driver for information, showing him the map and the required ... read more

For my journey to Belgrade, I had a 4 berth compartment on a modern Austrian train that had come from Vienna on its way to Belgrade. The only other occupant was my new chum Boris from Sarajevo so he gave me a few trips on things to see when I got there. Shortly after getting on the train the porter came up and warned us there had been many thefts on the train in the past and to keep the door locked at all times! After a fairly good nights sleep (we were woken up a the Serbian border for passport formalities) I arrived in Belgrade and walked to my hostel as I didn’t have any money until I found an ATM. Belgrade has a compact city centre and I know I’m not doing it justice ... read more

So not too much has happened since the last post. Biggest thing to happen was we went to Belgrade for a day of walking around and seeing the sites. I have to honestly say I like Novi Sad quite a bit more than Belgrade. It's just dirty, and too busy there for my liking. The sites are quite cool to see, but Novi Sad is a nicer city. Better views here in my opinion. We're also entering the last couple of days in lovely Serbia! It's sad to leave, but on the brighter side we're heading to Greece! We fly into Athens on the 6th. Our plans for the next couple of days? To party of course. Dusans birthday is on the 4th and we're planning on getting all of our new friends out to go ... read more
