Day: 497: The Beer Crate Guys

Today I thought I would introduce you to the phenomenon of “The Beer Crate Guys.” Every day, I’ve witness these fine gentlemen perched atop their beer crates outside one particular convenient store drinking beer directly out of two litter bottles.

It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is… or what the weather outside is like… dollar to doughnuts, the Beer Crate Guys will be rockin’ the beer crate.

At times, due to their dedication and sense of purpose, I think that this beer guzzling vigil is their job. In short, I have become completely fascinated with them. Some days there is only one… and some days there are 15 to 20… there in never a way of predicting the rhyme or reason of The Beer Crate Guys. Honestly, What I wouldn’t give for a trank gun and a case of satellite tracking collars so I can start studying their migration patterns.

Day 493: Seatbelts, Part 2

Reference: Day 457: Seatbelt Safety in Belgrade

Shortly after posting “Day 457: Seatbelt Safety in Belgrade” something very interesting happened that I wanted to share.

Well, Serena, Grayson and I were driving around… it was a slightly rainy day and we had decided to venture out to see a movie. On our way we were cut off by this guy weaving through traffic. Literally, it was like the guy was in some sort of high speed chase. THEN, right after he weaved in front of two other people, he slammed his brakes on and turned on his hazard lights… stopping in the middle of the right hand lane. We quickly caught up to him. Serena looked. And honestly we’re not sure why he stopped. Maybe it was to take that pressing cell phone call… or maybe it was because he couldn’t see around the 2 year old child sitting on his lap helping him drive. Who know… but it was thoughtful of him to put his hazards on.

Day 489: No Need for Sunglasses

Whelp... winters here. Goodbye sun. See you in the spring.

Day 485: Pulled Over

So… a couple weeks ago I was pulled over by Serbian Police for speeding. That’s was an interesting experience.

Again, Kerry chimed in and made me realize that I can’t simple throw down a bold statement about Mexican cuisine in Europe without addressing what exactly happened. Well, to be honest. Nothing had happened… at least not yet. Sometimes I simply make things up… but don’t get me wrong, the notions are formed from reality. And for those of you who’ve read my review of Ikki Sushi can probably understand where I am coming from. Cuisine here isn’t exactly what it should seem

Case in point, on another one of our infamous date nights we ventured to a lovely restaurant called “Que Pasa”. I use the word lovely because I really liked the place. The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, the service was amazing… and they mixed a mean Margarita from scratch (no mix). But, truth be told… the Margarita was the only thing offered even remotely reminiscent to south of the boarder cuisine on their menu. In fact, it was pretty much a Serbian/Italian Fusion restaurant… which is actually the case for most restaurants in town… like the equally excellent yet ill-named restaurant: “The Orient Express”… which offered neither “Orient” cuisine, nor speedy service.

My friend Kerry posed a very good question about my ill conceived game of risk. Who won? Oddly enough… it was the Australians.
