Belgrade, Serbia

Politics and Coffee
April 1-7, 2009

Belgrade is a very cool/interesting city. These people have been and are still going through so much. But the people I met are very engaged in trying to change their lives for the better.


I have to say though that I just can't stand cafe culture. This is such a European thing... just sitting around sipping coffee/espresso... it's 3:00pm on a Wednesday! What are you doing? Why are there so many people in the main square drinking coffee!? Oh yes, that's right... they don't have jobs.

I don't really think I took good photos. It's too much of a "city" to be interesting aside from the old European fascination. I took some basics, but it's nothing special.

I had the great opportunity to visit with four women members of parliament. The parliament building was gorgeous.
