serbia, i miss you


today i woke up in a bed that wasn't perched on the highest part of a five-story building. the roof didn't have quirky looking slanted roof windows, and when i woke up i didn't find my arm and back riddled with mosquito bites. 

no, this new room had none of these features. 
yet
still, i miss it. 

i miss the turkish coffee in the morning.

i miss the faint rumbling noise of traffic from down below
i miss the random conversations of earlier former yugoslavia 
i miss the fact that a half liter of beer was never more than $2


these past 4 days spent in belgrade were great. nobody really treated us like tourists. maybe because hardly anyone comes here. if i'm right, i sure hope it stays that way.  

if you ask me, i can't really say why i came to belgrade other than my friend brianne being an insane novak djokovic fan and wanting to visit his cafe; which is amazing if i might add. 
the specifics of choosing a city are never set in stone. 

it's rare to find a city that once done circling and prodding, you'd come back to. 
belgrade, is one of the few exceptions.
