Please excuse the late reply as I wen...Hi everyone! Please excuse the late reply as I went away on holiday since I posted this! This is one of my favourite posts ever though so I am happy to revisit it!<br /><br />@ Fifty States Travel: I am with you there! I love church architecture and am slowly realising how unique and intricate it can be.<br /><br />@ Phoenix: I agree and I hope it will be a long time before I fall out of love with London. It can be a really unforgiving city if you're alone or broke though!<br /><br />@ Hels: Thank you! I always think of you when discussing this type of architecture! And yes, I am very glad that I am far less fickle with my marriage!!<br /><br />@ Ash: That is a really good question and my immediate answer would be to say that it is infinitely better than London! But alas, the standard of living is much better here as are our salaries. I would love to live there on my £ salary!<br /><br />@ Mike: You are so right about grass being greener and gypsy blood! That is why i was determined to appreciate my life here and to see it through a tourist's eyes. <br /><br />@ JaPRA: Definitely! Maja's mum cooked for us on the Sunday and it was great! It was really good staying with a family, in fact.<br /><br />@ Mihailo: I'll have to find out about the walk! "Open heart falls in love and lives full life" - that is beautiful. I will definitely go back to the country and am planning my next trip within a year.<br /><br />@ William: You are absolutely right and my chances of going to work there (aka dragging Mister Emm there) are as slim as his chances of dragging me up to Manchester so he can be near Old Trafford.<br /><br />@ The Londoneer: Really? Belgrade?? Fab cannot wait to see your photos! I intend to visit there next year.<br /><br />@ El Cid: I am so keen to go to Jerusalem but unfortunately, my husband isn't.<br /><br />@ Holly: Thank you for saying my photos look like postcards - that is my aim! Maybe not the most imaginative or best photography but certainly what I am looking to achieve.<br /><br />@ Gemma: I agree - I also think Serbia wins!<br /><br />@ Kathy: I know! I've had so much fun learning Cyrillic in the past couple of weeks. I was well chuffed to realise I was recognising text on my Russian friend's blog the other day too.<br /><br />@ Betty: Thank you! I would certainly recommend visiting the coutnries of the former Yugoslavia.<br /><br />@ Sheila: I have always defended the appeal of so-called tourist traps but now I understand the benefits of stepping off the beaten path!Emmhttp://passiontounderstand.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-26952674450015947802010-08-23T23:10:08.820+01:002010-08-23T23:10:08.820+01:00It's really fascinating to see a place that is...It's really fascinating to see a place that isn't on the main tourist routes. In fact I think I prefer the hidden gems to the sometimes over-hyped "must-sees". I don't suppose I'm ever likely to make it to Serbia, so thank you for this first instalment. Looking forward to the next.Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttp://apostcardaday.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-43761142335257818932010-08-22T14:42:46.888+01:002010-08-22T14:42:46.888+01:00Thanks so much for this informative post, Emm.

I don't remember much Russian vocabulary from my two years of study but I can transliterate Cyrillic and always enjoy doing that. It's fun to write it, too.Kathy Amenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353918133298858318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-3161698677033140552010-08-18T12:46:05.729+01:002010-08-18T12:46:05.729+01:00Great pictures Emm.

Open heart falls in love and lives full life. Please keep traveling and making friends. Next time ask Maja to take you to Cortanovci.

I couldn't even decide to marry my husband in that time :)<br /><br />Even if it is utterly unrealistic, I still yearn to move to London (where I once lived for 2 years) AND to Tel Aviv (where I once lived for 2.5 years). Then Paris, then Florence and often Barcelona. It is insane, since I hate British winters and I don't speak either Italian or Spanish. Oh fickle, fickle heart! <br /><br />Love your photos of religious architecture, by the way. I think a town always looks after its churches and synagogues well, even if there is some neglect or dirt elsewhere in town.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-53518706528730801292010-08-15T23:03:42.284+01:002010-08-15T23:03:42.284+01:00I'm really loving the photography that you'...I'm really loving the photography that you're putting up Emm. Really great to read about other parts of the world that I'm probably never going to be able to see. London is still on the top of my list on places to visit. I don't know how anyone could fall out of love with that city.<br /><br />Keep up the great work.<br /><br />-MattAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676635637189994558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-35288981309645513732010-08-15T22:53:32.382+01:002010-08-15T22:53:32.382+01:00i really like churches architectures, they are one...i really like churches architectures, they are one of the most stunning, unique and creative architectures in the world.Fifty States Travelhttp://www.fiftystatestravel.comnoreply@blogger.com
