New Format for Amerikanka.net

If you‘ve been a previous visitor to this site, you‘ll notice something slightly different. I‘ve just switched from WordPress to Gelato CMS and converted this site from a regular blog to a “tumblog” like you see at http://www.tumblr.com. I think it fits better with my posting style and it will also prevent me from going on some long-winded rants. I‘d rather focus on the beauty of Serbia and her people rather than any unpleasantness. But I do not want to forget that unpleasantness so I will continue to restore all previous posts to this new format. Bear with me and enjoy!

Serbia Beats U.S. 3-1 in Davis Cup →

Congratulations to Serbia on their win against the U.S. in the Davis cup this weekend! :)))

This is my favorite passage from Momo Kapor‘s book, “The Serbian Mentality.” “There are few things in Belgrade that I have not seen elsewhere. Perhaps only three: its rivers, its sky and its people…. “Clouds scud across the sky where the Sava gives way to the Danube, combining mists with eatern and western winds — that dramatic Belgrade sky that resembles a huge celestial battleground. The spiritual state of its inhabitants is portrayed in this sky at any moment of the day. “People who grew up on a stone hill beneath such an exciting panorama cannot be but broad of gesture, stormy of temperament and of changing mood….” Yep, that sums up some of my closest Serbian friends to a “T”.
