My experience in Belgrade

This trip was really amazing. It got me to realize several shortcomings of life in Stockholm, including the way people live, the level of service at restaurants and shops, and how to really enjoy life.



The streets of Stockholm are normally quite empty, except on the weekend, but in Belgrade the streets are filled with people of every age, every day, even at late hours. The people of Belgrade are enjoying life by walking around, having a drink, beer or coffee, discussing life or other things, singing, listening to music (street bands / musicians or live performers). There were more people out in the city on a wednesday in Belgrade, than on a saturday in Stockholm.

Barely no one shouts loudly or is too alcoholized and staggering in the streets. A few beers or drinks are enough. No one is harassing other people, no suspicious gang formations in the streets. At all time I felt relaxed and secure when walking around, even in the darker and more remote areas of the city.

People were friendly and polite all the time, and the service at even small non-high-standard restautrants and small shops were top class!

This is the way of life i want here in Stockholm. It is not impossible to get in the future, but in the meantime, go visit Belgrade for a time of your life!
