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

PUMPKINS, PEARS, PERSIMMONS, KIWIS....
An autumnal still life from a local grocer's stand. Halloween is the reason that this type of pumpkin is now seen here. When I came to "Yugoslavia" in 1977, few persimmons and kiwis were not available, let alone heard of.
It was the same way here in the US with different fruits and vegetables. You'd find local things mostly. I think it was the late 80's before I ever saw a kiwi.

I've never had persimmons.
