Life On The Road

One of my 2018 (and every year) resoultions was to visit one country I’ve never been to before. I thought we should go to some country next to Serbia that we didn’t visit already . But, in April of 2018 Darko got an offer from one team in Russia. I wanted to visit Russia at some point, but it wasn’t on my “most wanted countries to visit” list. Actually, I didn’t have any special opinion about that country. What I know about Russian people is only what I saw (experienced) in airports and hotels. I don’t want to generalize, but my impressions were (and didn’t change much after our time in Russia) that Russian people are rude, unpolite, and too proud. There is nothing wrong with being proud, as long as you respect other people. But, if you think that you are worth more just because you were born in a certain country, there is something wrong with you. We lived in a city called Yaroslavl, which is about 4 hours (250 km/160 mi) drive from Moscow. This city is small considering russian sta...

 Usually only Sundays are our days off, but this past week we had the entire weekend for family time. We always try to spend this time outside as much as we can, especially, if the weather is good. These past months the weather was really weird. I guess the most of the planet's population felt that way. We didn't have a real spring day until week or so ago. All of a sudden, on past Saturday we woke up, and the weather was really nice. We were discussing what should we do for the day. I remember getting a recommendation for visiting a Zlin Zoo. I did a little research and it really looked nice. But, it was more than nice. It was way above my expectations. I questioned writing a post about this zoo, but I think it deserves its place in here. We left home quite late, so we couldn't stay as long as we wanted, but we definitely had a great time!   Zlin Zoo is located on the eastern side of the country, somewhere between cities Brno and Ostrava. It is second visited zoo in Cz...

  I can't believe January is already over. We didn't do much this month. Nina and I went to Serbia for Serbian (Orthodox) Christmas, and spent seven days with my younger sister. It was really a nice week. We celebrated Christmas at my dad's house, and both of my sisters were there and the kids. Even though Nina doesn't see her cousins that often, they always have a great time when they are together. Nina and Petra Nina, Petra and Tara   We also marked six months period since our mom passed away. It went  by so fast, but I feel like it happened yesterday. It is amazing how time is relentless. Whatever we do, and wherever we are, the time will always take its toll on us. We are always trying to catch up with it, but none of us is able to do so.   Nina finally adapted to preschool. Last Thursday (if I remember correctly) was her first day without crying. She is doing very well these days. She eats her lunch over there, and even remembers few name...
