Impressions of Belgrade and Serbia and maybe photos from an in-country trip by a long-term ex-pat.

Something to remind you...
My wedding guests have all but gone, taking with them fond memories of the wedding and Serbia. They've also taken along a few souvenirs, such as those seen here. The little sparrow, symbol of Belgrade, is wearing a typical Serbian hat, the šajkača, and there are models of typical dwellings and a church behind him. All, including the cute little guy with the candle, are standing on a runner with a pattern of rugs made in Pirot in southeastern Serbia.

CROSS-CULTURE BREAKFAST
Have been in India one week. I brought my hostess some ajvar, which she found goes very well on a chapati.

Cute little souvenirs!
I thought you had made the runner!
These are adorable! I'm sure all the wedding guests had a very special time in Belgrade—imagine it was fun for you to have them all there too. Did the newlyweds take a honeymoon (and if so where)?
These are all delightful. I really like the sparrow. Is it a usual tradition to give away gifts at a wedding?
Charming souvenirs. A nice way to remember a charming wedding...
Hi. Gaelyn, I did give little 'favors,' which you can see right here
This is more of a new 'tradition.'
These are very nice "souvenirs"! Things to treasure for a lifetime...and a great way to remember a wedding.
Hope your daughter had a wonderful time and the memories last her a lifetime.
I love that little sparrow, it's so cute.
Nice memories for them. I love the little sparrow!
Cute little treasures.
aaaawww boo hoo, it's over now, but you have so many wonderful memories.
I want every one of them. I know what to ask for next time my relatives travel there...or I might just come and buy them myself.
