Treadmills Put Under Bed

first day in Prishtina



The bus to Pristina without problems. However, we were only checked three times in Kosovo. This was probably because it was a Serbian bus.
I live here with a very nice little family. (The pictures I do not put them online) Ilir and Ilirjana are both doctors (he works in the Ministry of Youth and the WHO), plus a two-year-old son with whom I get along very well; using)
The first day I to explore the city. At first glance, some things are obvious. Garbage is everywhere, most houses are not built over and the traffic is very chaotic. The buses are usually discarded German bus (you can still see the title: Operating way) and while they drive from station to station, but without which there would be a plan where you could see where that number down or even when one is coming. Then yesterday drove a car and the driver was the number 4 So I went, like others, a. On the problem was me, that he does not drive the route number 4, and neither German nor English speaking. Someone translated it and I should pay 2 € bouts to be the target (very much if you keep the 30 cents for the bus next to it). We were able to agree but then in the middle. Later I learned that this thing is illegal and not possible in these cars is should enter;)
Most Kosovars with whom I spoke before, do not like very Prishtina.
What I really like are the many bars and cafes. One of them is a wonderful reading café with international literature. On the streets we see mostly young people. The communication works quite differently. Usually I manage not to try my few Albanian words, because it is asked at the outset to English or German. Impressive is the large number of international people on the ground. Among the many German number plates, said Ilir, "you find it not nice to see so many ger cars here? I was proud to be a Kosovar car in Germany go to see ... "
Saturday night we went to a documentary film festival in Prizren. Due to prolonged storage, the ride immensely. This gave me the opportunity to talk longer with Ilir and Ilirjana. It was very interesting, the Albanian view of the decision of the Court on the legality of Kosovo and further relations with Serbia to experience. (More to try everything I write, even if I can arrange something then by the social project will hopefully better)

Beograd


This has me Rebecca (r & d Serbia) from the station picked up. The time to exit my Buses to Pristina, we used a small city tour. The large pedestrian zone looks like in most other European cities. From the large fortress, you have a wonderful view over the Danube with the canal boats, but also the significantly poorer neighborhoods. Rebecca had previously visited one week a Peace Academy in Sarajevo. So we also used the time to exchange views on the different perspectives of the Balkan conflicts. She spoke of the politics of the Serbs, the desire for stability and the setbacks to the economic crisis (one euro more than 100 dinars and inflation continues ...)

Command And Conquer 3 Setup Was Interrupted

travel


After very little sleep I started the train. In preparation, I watched a very famous film from the Balkans, Black Cat, White Cat (turned off, sometimes just weird but kind of funny, I recommend it for social evenings in a big group, not for the evenings or as a basis for discussion IPPNW ... )
When you board the overnight train from Villach came over me then really starts to feel the journey ... In the very old and close Schlafwagkabine three "beds" were. From Lubiljana I got even a roommate, a postage Giese of a rail way ticket straight across to a European tour. As a graphic designer to "clear my mind". Despite the very old train and the associated noise (the postage Giese: "modern music") would have been able to sleep well, if not all would have knocked some hours of the train conductors on the door for: passport! After his beating came after about 15 minutes, an official and ask to be cleared through customs and after another 30 minutes then came two officers to control the pass. As I lay down in the bed, I always saw only two pairs of highly polished leather shoes, that I then handed my passport .. So in underwear makes you feel a bit vulnerable against the customs officials. This game feels like we did 10 times that night and already we were in Belgrade.
