Things over here are going very well. We have done stuff and seen people and things. We also plan to do more stuff in some places with other people. My language skills took a bit of a leap in their dormancy somehow, and I am able to speak a bit more fluidly. Natalija is obviously very happy to be here with all of her friends and family, and the fact that we are only here for a month has motivated everyone to really be available and generally down for whatever.
Highlights include the surprise party, the doomed river trip, drinking domestic white wine at a bar named Tosin Bunar that for some inexplicable reason everyone calls Jakarta, um karaoke with a live band, coffee with EVERYBODY, Sasa's birthday, dinners with Nata's Dad, being with family, a really disappointing boat tour of Belgrade, delicious food, and a couple of sleep overs at other people's apartments because we missed the last bus into Surcin. Here are some pictures in no particular order.
