Serbia

I am now in rainy Belgrade. I have not seen much at the moment apart from a few bombed buildings (by Nato). The city seems very calm but grey. The journey on the train was much better than the Soviet train journey, it was a bit spooky though. Full moon hidden behind the clouds, passing Transilvania most of the night and barking of the stray dogs on the empty streets sent chills down my spine. No wonder the legend about Dracula generated from here. I arrived in this hostel - met a few Poles and got chatted to a Serbian guy who works here about politics, great Serbia, former Yugoslavia. There is so much pride, nationalism here and hatred against Tito who created Yugoslavia instead of Great Serbia. Will keep you posted about general feeling here. OFf to see a military museum now.
