Hi!!!A lot of greetings from Novi Sad
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 3, 2004
Hi Dusanka, welcome, and greetings returned from (for the time being) Moscow. How is Novi Sad nowadays? I've been there some time ago.
Practice English, this is the place to go! By now you may have found places to visit, people to meet. I frequently hang around in the Great Outdoor Bar (F95740?thread=200932&latest=1) or in Camelot (A564022) or the summerhouse (A797420). There's a lot of places like that, most of them crowded 24*7 with .. mostly harmless people.
Drop by whenever you feel like it

(WHAT! that long ago! .. yes, I am really that old!). Don't worry about your English, just keep practicing and remember that most of us are not native English speakers. We all make a *lot* of mistakes. Write an entry in the guide on Novi Sad! great idea!

hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 8, 2004
Hm, yes.. the troubles.. .. I am from the Netherlands, I live in Moscow now, travel in between Moscow and Netherlands.
(* Moscow is a nice city... well.. parts of it are nice .. 16 MRussians, large city *)
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 8, 2004
It is cool.I want to visit Netherlands and MoscowI.Because of that wish i start to study journalizam because and i'm also photographer.My dream is to become photographer of National Geographic magazin.
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 9, 2004
Photographer for National Geographic sounds great! It will take some energy to get that far! (probably 90% energy, 10% talent). I found that when it really comes to the point very few people really want to travel for more than a week holiday or so.
I work in Moscow with a colleague from Belgrade. Very few people understand why we leave house and hearth to work "far away" in Moscow. (not really far.. Beijing or Seoul would be further).
Moscow really is a nice city (well.. the centre is, the outskirts are much less nice). Not that I've seen much of the city.. work.. work..
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 9, 2004
I need alot of energy and beside of that i do not have idea how to become their photographer.I like traveling in all forms,and never without my camera.Last year i was in Turkey.My best friend(photographer and futur journalsit to)and i spend together 24 films for 7 days.This year i was in Egypt and i was spend 50 films.I practis for National Geographic.By the way Turkish beer is better than Egiption.
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 10, 2004
well.. how to become a world famous photographer.. I am not absolutely sure but I'd say you'll get there if you are 1) better than all others. 2) at the right place at the right time.
The first one is something you can work on. The second one is harder.
I wouldn't know about Egyptian ... never order alcohol in islam countries... when I am abroad ( 3/4 of my time.. and that is a lot) I try to behave according to local rules, regulations and customs. In islam countries alcohol is either illegal or (Egypt and Turkey) it is -ed by many locals so I live without it.
(* I don't travel to islam countries that often anyway *)
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 10, 2004
I working on first thing everywhere in every time.And i have strongly faith in second.I believ that just happend to me once.Maybe tommorow,maybe next year but i believ that i sell found at the right place at the right time,and when you believ in something hardly enough that will happend to you.That is my teory.
In Turkey you can buy beer in every store,but in Egypt it is diffcult to find alcoholic beer.I found and bought all cans from store(there were only 7) and bring it like souvenirs,and present.My friends and family wants to try beer from beers homeland.
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 10, 2004
I think you will manage! believe in something and it will happen now all you need is just a tiny bit of luck.
real beer of course comes from Belgium (brew from monasteries), Ireland (Guiness ) or .. England (well.. yes.. I know.. but I happen to like bitter)
However.. as I said.. only if the local population drinks
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 10, 2004
i can do it and my lukcy star will support me,i hope.
When i go somewhere i like to try their local food and drink.I am very proud on our local food specially on fish soup cooked on bank of Danube river.Few years ago In Bachka Palanka,town 45km from Novi Sad,some people make attraction and they cook large fish soup and that goes in Guiness book of record as the biggest fish soup ever.
I never try Belgium beer or Guiness or some English beer.Once when i go there i shell try.I was try Amstel,Heineken,Carlsberg,Efes and Sakara.I like Amstel very much.Yugoslavien best beer are Jelen(deer) and Lav(lion).
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 10, 2004
lucky star
and local food: yes! although I was taken to a sushi bar in Moscow .. what local food.. in some countries local food is hard to find
and .. ah... Amstel and Heineken are lads.. not the best Grolsch is very nice (Dutch) and .. Kwak, Leffe, Duvel are nice as well
Guiness is good but only the Irish brew.. Efes, Siberska Korona, old miller and three bears..
... off to the pub now
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 11, 2004
mmm...pub... that word is music for my ears.
When i was in Budapest on excursion our professor told to us where we can find pizza hut and McDonalds restoraunt,but they do not told where is some good restoraunt with traditional Hungarien food.Some nice charda.Charda Hungarien word for all restoraunt on river bank.
did you try some of our local food when you were here?
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 11, 2004
local food last time I was near I was in Belgrade... not Vojvodina.. I certainly had local food.. Monday afternoon lunch with the company, starter was meat, main course MEAT, dinner: starter meat, main course a larger chunk of meat. Tuesday the same, just more meat. Wednesday.. Thursday was mixed grill day: the chunks of meat were roughly the same size but there were a lot of varieties... then Friday I stopped eating, Saturday afternoon I had some dry biscuits. By Monday I was physically able to eat more than that so ... they took me to have lunch
I assume that most of the meat varieties were local food and local specialities. tasted great, it came in enormous quantities and .. as the company said "ah.. but you REALLY must taste this!"
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 11, 2004
mixed grill is traditional meal in Vojvodina to.In Vojvodina living people from 26 different nations(I read that information somewhere),and as we mixed our traditional food are mixed to.Almost every food is traditional here.But as i said my favorite food is fish.
What is traditional food in Netherlands?
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 12, 2004
mixed grill is great.. but the amounts of food, and meat... enormous!
Traditional food in the Netherlands.. well.. there's the raw herring of course.. and a lot of vegetables.. I'm afraid the Dutch don't have much of a food tradition.. most of our national food is either English, French, Indonesian, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, or a mix of those.. face it: the country is not large enough to have it's own food traditions besides that, most Dutch like to eat exotic food
I think hootoo holds some articles on food, national food and all that! C69 would be a place to start I think?
hello
Dusanka...I'll be back(once) Posted Oct 12, 2004
Than you for link it is very interesting.
Few years ago in Novi Sad is open Dutch restoraunt,but i did not go there yet.I rarely go to restoraunt here in NS.We making grill,soup,or something else at weekend house on bank of Danube river.
hello
Hapi - Hippo #5 Posted Oct 13, 2004
a Dutch restaurant in Novi Sad! Interesting.. there are more "Balkan" reastaurants in the Netherlands than "Dutch" restaurants. ("Balkan" restaurant can be any restaurant where the cook, the owner or both come from anywhere between northern Greece, middle Austria and Southern Ukraine )
and you have a weekend house! a datcha
(* well.. in a way I have a datcha as well.. Living in Moscow and a datcha in the Netherlands I'll not go there every weekend though.. I'll leave for Moscow on Sunday afternoon, be there until half November *)
