45. Visit a new country - Serbia

Hey you guys.
As promissed I want to tell you about the trip to Serbia - a country I have never visited befor in my life, with JFE - Jerusalem Folklore Ensamble (Ive been dancing there for 3 years now).

Ofcourse- Amir and I returned from Prague (Cz republic) - which was also a totally new country for me, but that a totally different post!

So the ensamble went to Serbia to participate in a folklore festival in a city name Cremska Mitrovitsa (I hope I wrote it well) and in a trumpit festival in the town of Gucha. Both were so great!

The fesitval in Sremska was 5 day - we preformed every day (between 10-30 minuts show) - the croud was great, the group was awsome and we had great time.
Durring this festival we had a tour arround the area of the town (durring wich we drank ALOT of Rakia), we had a trip to Belgrad and had plenty of time to shop :)

The festival in Gucha wasnt like anything I ever saw! So many people, coming to such a small twon- litteraly in the midle of no-where, to party for 8 days. It was truely magnificent.

If you ever get to Serbia- here are some tips:
* A tour in Belgrad can take 1 day. There are several places I wouldnt miss -
-the tower
-the main streets (a great place to do a little shopping)
- The old Bohemian area (lots of resturants, cafe', and places to go out at night like clubs and pubs)
- the old chapel that looks like the Taj-Mahal
Of course there are many other places I haven't seen - but from what I saw - these are the musts. In addition some of my friend said they went to a really big shopping mall there - the prices aren't so high in Serbia so its a good place to do some serious shopping.
* Around belgrad - I really loved the area of Guch - Its almost 4 hourse from belgrad but the place is sooooo beutiful! I highly recomend to rent a car and travel arround - the hills are as green as can be, small rivers, and great people :)
* The local are super nice - and the can be helpfull if you get lost - so dont be afraid to ask them:)
