A New Prague?
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life
Before I illuminate you on what the title means, if you haven’t already guessed, I need to go over the news of the day. Serbian President Boris Tadic was in an official visit to Italy, where he was joined by the half of the Government, but that’s whole different matter. What I want to tell [...]

Why is Belgrade marching against Fascism?
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life
20 years after the fall of Berlin Wall.
If at that time Serbia made a bad choice, is it still doing it?
Small group of citizens of Belgrade protested against the rising tide of nationalism. There were more policemen and photographers than demonstrators.
I took this photo today at work.
On that other note, Transitions Online made a special [...]

shame and anger
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life
If you google Serbia, you are likely to encounter news stories on war criminals or a report on Belgrade, becoming the party central of South Eastern Europe, with bars that work all night, beautiful women all over the place, soundtrack consisting of the weird mix of cutting edge music all the way to the Gypsy [...]

what i learned about tennis
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life
I am not following sports much. As I remember names and information, since my brain is subscribed to useless trivia, I know a few athletes, football players, coaches, names of teams, but not because I like it – I don’t need yet another obsession – but because I am listening to guys talking amongst each [...]

a moment to remeber
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life, politics
When television stations do not have any quality program, the time slot is not guaranteeing high viewership, they put something together as “On This Day in History”, a collection of facts, some known, some completely unfamiliar. Historical events presented as trivia. Like anyone is watching, right?
On this day six years ago, the first democratic Prime [...]

It is not a particularly difficult to get a nod from Schmap free digital travel guides and have your photos included there. All you need is to have “some rights reserved” license on your Flickr page.

gmail outage freakout
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life, web 2.0
The web as a platform is not there yet. This morning’s Gmail outage warned us about “putting all the eggs in one basket”. Google is indispensible, but not infallible.
While some predicted the end of the world, Microsoft’s Mel Carson twittered about new Windows mail.

White City#2
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life, media, popcult
Second issue of White City magazine is on Belgrade’s newsstands.
If I managed to find it, you will have no problem with it. In this issue, many interesting topics are included. An article about returning to live in Serbia, after a life abroad. And the opposite – going abroad for studying.
If I got a cent, for [...]

Christmas Confusion and New Year Resolution(s)
Posted by popkitchen | Filed under everyday life
Two weeks ago, I received so many Merry Christmas greetings, I could not defend myself. I am experienced though, when people wish me Merry Christmas, I wish the same back. In the past two years, I spent pre-Christmas season in the UK, my first term at the University, I tried to explain to people (gently!), [...]
