Got myself a little cold on Friday in the bloody wind and subsequently didn’t sleep so well. On top of that, my left shoulder was aching all day.<\/p>\n
Tijana, a friend of Ka\u010da’s, is friends with Nina, Serbia’s contestant at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. Her song, \u010cardoban (Magical), is the one that came in the orange-yellow(?) retro look.<\/p>\n
Ka\u010da’s sister was to meet Nina, and I asked if I could join them, too. How cool is it to meet an ESC star?! :)<\/p>\n
Nina (her real name is Danica Radoji\u010di\u0107) had been singing with her bands for a while when the ESC song’s writer, Kristina Kova\u010d, discovered her on youtube and approached her regarding the ESC.<\/p>\n
She was rehearsing with her band Legal Sex Department tonight (in Belgrade) and we could watch\/listen for a while, take some pictures, chat a little and got autographs.<\/p>\n
Heard that a pro-Mladic demonstration in Belgrade’s down town had gone wrong and folks were demolishing shop windows.<\/p>\n
Later we (Ka\u010da, Tijana, Milo\u0161 and me) went to let the queues dance at some billard place. They also got me a fare-well present (some local specialties that I’ll try to send home)! So sweet! :)<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’ll continue on my quest to eventually reach the Caucasus. I’ll be in a bit of a hurry now to reach the next ferry from Varna, but I had a great time here in Pan\u010devo and the extended stay was worth every minute. I’ll be parting with a sad eye.<\/p>\n
Fun fact about Serbia: A new law in effect since about 2 weeks or so forces bars to close at 2am, even on weekends. How retarded is that?<\/p>\n
