"Hejt" No More

Serbian is a phonetic language and 'j' is pronounced as a 'yuh', so 'hejt' is pronounced 'hate'. Not sure if this was an accidental misspelling, or if 'hejt' refers to something else...dunno what.

No haiku for a while. I am physically now in the US, but in cyberspace I'll be in Belgrade for another week!  Just to get over jet-lag....then photos of Seattle.

Like this very much.

Okay, I'm going with Hejt = Hate. Makes sense and I'll vote for that!

Colorful wall in a scary sense.

Love the colors on this wall—and the message too (I think).

This is quite likely a spin on "Faith no more", the American rock band quite famous in Serbia. Faith reads FEJT, only a letter away from HEJT. The opposition of faith vs hate gives another layer of meaning (this country/city needs faith to replace hate). Also, it now seems more clear why they had to spell it "hejt" and not "hate" - not to veer too far from the hidden "faith".

THE MARKET AFTER HOURS
