Novi SadMapJanuary 17–18, 2015 A pretty city stretching across both banks of the river.  One side is full of old, shabby beauty.  And picturesque houses.  The other side has more trashy modern architecture.  This intersection doesn’t really seem worthy of our attention. But it does have one pleasant detail—a street sign hanging from the traffic light pole.  Once you get past a certain amount of unsightly unregulated developments, magnificent beauty awaits.  It’s über-Europe.  An excellent post box adorns the downtown area.  An advertising pillar.  A bike rack.  Roller shades built into every window and a diamond with insulators.  A Russian office.  Russian Office. Real Estate, Business, Residence Permits A café.  Putin The Novi Sad trash can.  Dumpsters.  Underground garbage containers.  Payphones.  A sewer manhole.  The city makes sure no bright metal roofing is used in the Old Town.  A paid parking area.  A backstreet.  A surprisingly pleasant pedestrian passageway.  Serbia (like Montenegro) continues to stick with the traditional, archaic way of writing the letter A.  The inscription reads: “You’re talking nonsense.” A vendor of some sort.  |
