Belgrade may be getting with the times, but
let’s just put it out there – Belgrade’s got
history. The general outlook on life here is
understandably a combination of defensive
national pride, reluctant acceptance at life’s
lack of predictability and optimism and
appreciation in life’s little joys.
My GGI life led me to Belgrade this past
August - ready to start teaching at a new
school, explore a new city and settle into
a new life. Belgrade, with its affordable
modern amenities, steadfast traditions and
Central European quirks was just the right
place to start the current chapter of
my GGI life.
