Latvia, Portugal, Serbia aka BEST random meets in Belgrade

Sunday greetings from sunny Belgrade. have to admit, that it is very hard to turn back on track with my blog posts once you have not been able to keep it up this last week due to almost no internet access.

How I am doing? Training Course ended on friday, and instead of directly going home, was lucky to have the chance to spend couple of great days in Belgrade. I am still amazed by the weather here, in end of October,

lost in days. world is small.

Greetings to Bistra :)

today is wednesday, right? oh, indeed. life without proper internet access and far in Serbian countryside are two things i have been up to these days. And as my internet at the moment is also limited then I really cannot keep up the long post, but just couple of small remarks.

Serbians are amazing :) Thank you for beeing such a cool and stay the same. And now i also know that Novi Sad s AWESOME, although i still feel that Belgrade is my city.

did i already told that Europe is small. how cool is to come to small Ada, to meet girl, sister of my colleagues best friend?

Ok, have to go offline now. 

happy people.

Greetings from Ada, it is exactly 3.49 AM, and finally all unreplied e-mails for C:F are answered, works covered and it is time to get ready for morning brain teaser activities here in Ada, Serbia. Good night, good morning.

i am ok.

you may be worried, that i havent done my daily posts, but i ve been strugling from lack of internet. everyone else see it and use it, but my computer here in Serbia do not recognize it and dont want to cooperate.

been really busy working on promotion, on activities and networking, that even now have to rush to present and represent my own country with some slovene candies and nice things. see you.

safely in Ada

did i say that it takes 2 hours and a bit to get from Belgrade to Ada? maybe for regular travelers, for me, it turn out to be 4 and half hour trip, on the way i managed to visit Novi Sad,  Bočaj and many other small villages till i finally reached Ada. how is it? it is around three times bigger as my home town, with very friendly and talented people and with great heart and big dreams. Life as in countryside, nothing changed or different, as sad as it in a way is, but positivism keeps and makes it better.

Participants in training? Yes, they are amazing too. As always i have the problem with names, but i will work hard to learn them asap :) My one of aims. all in all i like here, it is a great. Besides 25 participants, we have also thousands of trīsuļodi /have no idea on how to say in english, something like giant mosquitoes/ And yes, it was supposed to have wifi here, but as i am the lucky girl, then not for me, at least my computer do not want to see it :( pity.

What else. I think i have problems with cigarettes. Seriously. being part of EU and non smoking rule in public places, it is hard to get back in time to st in a bar where people smoke in your face, it feels like you are slowly dying. will see how these 7 days pass.

ok, time for some shower, socializing and sleep.

morning Belgrade.

yesterday snow appeared in Ljubljana, so i decided to go and look for warmer weather. ok, joking. the truth is that last minute and unexpected, but here i am, sitting in a nice restaurant with terrible morning coffee in rainy Belgrade. half way to my destination Ada. What is Ada? i guess its a village somewhere near Romania, got my bus ticket and still two hours or waiting for bus and then two more ahead to get there.

How did I get here? last friday an opportunity showed up and i took it. going for a training event, will see how it goes, a little bit worried that will get lost in Ada and nobody will pick me up, as the event already started yesterday and now they already start with sessions, and Im still stuck in Belgrade.

yesterday evening took train to come here. my longest train trip ever - 9 hours. when leaving in evening, you expect to have proper sleep, as 9 hours is the time to go, its also perfect for sleeping, but if you have 4 times passport control, 4 times ticket check and people coming in and out in most of stops in between, it is mission impossible. still tired, and still have more than 2 hour bus ride. my very first internal bus ride, hope the bus will be proper :)

and have to say, it is nice to be back in Belgrade, after two years, have to say, by first look nothing much have changed, its still the charmy ex Yugoslav city, the only good thing, now i was able to find a cafe with actual wifi internet and happy about it. ok, have to go now, to catch my bus. Ada, I am coming.

student fair - yes I was there too.

Za začetek je dovolj ideja. now i am home, outside is raining, but i don`t mind, it has been great day. instead of usual office hours, by midday we left for a student fair - event where many organizations comes together to make a promotion and tries to engage students in social/extra activities besides studies. I wish something like that would happen in more visible level in Riga. So...
