few days ago we’ve had huge protests in Belgrade against Kosovo’s self proclaimed independence
and while my neighbours went to the meeting to protest peacefully (there were like half a million people there) a group of a one or two thousand people split and attacked embassies of countries supporting independence
it was later that I found out that some people took advantage of the anarchy and broke into various shops at the city center stealing branded shoes, shirts etc.
two girls were captured on video doing that, see it here
those two said they didn’t have enough money so that’s why they stole things
in my mind, being poor is not an apology for stealing
and they don’t look poor, one girls has a tattoo on her butt
now, a few days later I’m talking with some friends that would like to get some stuff and not pay for them
and I’m trying to tell them they should respect the law etc. but they don’t care, they just want the thing
it’s the same attitude that those two girls had
and constantly, on the TV, you can hear local politicians saying they’ll fight corruption etc.
most of the young people don’t have morals
and that’s sad, but that’s how things go here
I really have little hope for the future of this nation, as long as most of the people think this way
Today, it was Saint Nicholas Day, according to Orthodox church. Here, almost everybody has a day in a year devoted to a Saint they celebrate.
I’m not religious (I’m not denying God, whatever that may be) but I respect all the religions and peoples feelings in that regard. So, I look at this as a tradiotion that should be honored.
My family’s Saint Day is Saint Nicholas Day, on December 19th. Each year, we go to my uncle’s house to celebrate. On this day we fast (no fatty food).
The day starts with a fish barbeque and at noon there is this cake/lunch we have. People come whole day long, have fun, eat fish, beans, cakes, drink vine, juices etc. It was a good day
