Life On The Road

Hello everyone! I am still trying to catch up on my previous trips. This is the last post before I write one about our current home. :) One of the best situations, since we have been basketball travelers, was in Caen, France.  After our time in Saudi Arabia, we went back to Serbia for summer. Like every summer, we wondered where would our next destination be. Usually, we leave Serbia in September, sometimes even in October. So, when we got an offer from France in early August, it was a big surprise. I've never been  in France so I didn't know what to expect. I knew it was a developed country, and that French people are very proud (even little cocky) about being French.    As soon as we landed in Paris, I fell in love with France. It took us about 2 hours to get to our city, and the entire time we were in awe. Nature was beautiful, everything was clean, and everything was neat. I know most of you would think "Well, that is how it supposed to ...

 After Tunisia in 2015, we moved to Saudi Arabia. Actually, Darko went straight to Arabia, and Nina and I went back to Serbia to get our visas for Arabia. It took us three months to get visas. I don't know how much you know about Saudi Arabia, but this is a very conservative country. There is no tourist visa, and you can only enter this country for work or if your spouse work there, and you are going to visit him/her. It is a very religious country, and it is known as the birthplace of Islam. Both, Meca and Medina are located in the Saudi Arabia. The entire country is run by Sharia law ( it is derived from the religious precepts, the Quran and the Hadith). The country is very rich, since they are very famous for oil producing. They are world's largest oil producer and exporter. The climate is not the best. At least, I didn't like it. It is too dry, too hot, and too much sand. Arabian Desert is dominating in Saudi Arabia's geography, so the dryness, hotness, and the s...

Good morning! Dobro jutro! Kalimera! :) Few weeks ago I was reading some Serbian blogs, and it got me thinking how well actually I know Serbian language. Then I stopped thinking about it, until I read this cross-cultural life post from  The Random Writings Of Rachel . She speaks Chinese, her husband Spanish, and she wondered what language they should speak at home to their kid. I said the baby could easily speak three languages. EASILY? There is no way one could speak easily more than one language. Unless, that person has an iq of 150+. Than that's ok. So, I started thinking again about the languages. I speak two languages fluently . I think I speak two languages  fluently. Serbian and English. I grew up in Serbia, graduated from American University, and now I am all over the world. Every time I would go back home during summer break at college, I would need some time to adjust. When I would speak, some words would come out in English. After a while of not using...
