Language mix !
by JLBG
The restaurants advertise in a language that is mainly Albanese but that mixes Italian, and Serbian. It is not always easy to understand. For example, on the photo, you can read the following meals :
Supë, Albanian for soup
Gullash does not need any explanation, neither spaghetti and pizza, nor biftek and ramstek
Speca të mbushura, Albanian for Serb punjene paprike or stuffed paprika,
Peschk, Albanian for fish (pesce in Italian)
Qebapa, pleskavicë, are Albanian writing of kebab and pljeskavica
Pule, Albanian for chicken (poulet in French)
Gjelë të gatshme, Albanian for prepared (?) cock
Pasul, I did not know what it was.
Aurorae sent me the following note (and corrections on some Serbian words mispelled). Unfortunately, I cannot spell correctly the letters that have a diacritic sign :
Pasul is probably pasulj, beans. It's a veeeeeery popular dish in Serbia/ex-Yu, mostly famous for the army service days and often it's called vojniâki pasulj - soldiers beans. It is easy to prepare and very nutritive, and extremely cheap, so it's understandable why it is cooked in huge masses in the army service. Also, people often cook it when they go camping. and funny thing is, the longer it stays, the better it is !!! Unlike the other food!
Kebab = cevapi / cevapaici (you also have to note that this is very different from the turkish döner kebab, which is almost identical to greek gyros - meat grilled on the huge stick and rotated, then served cut in pieces with fries, tomato, onions and mayonnaise or other sauce maybe. cevapi or cevapjici are small rolls of meat in the shape of the finger, but a bit more fat :-) grilled on coal. Bosnia and Leskovac area in Serbia (Leskovacki roztilj - leskovac grill/bbq) is the most famous for cevapi.
Thanks a lot Aurorae !
Pulti mausoleum
by JLBG
The Pulti mausoleum stands in the newest part of the town, along Bulevar Maršala Tita. It was built in the XVIIIth century together with two other mausoleums, the Murat Dedej mausoleum and the Resulbegovic mausoleum.
ulcinj is mainly muslim.
by cachaseiro
ulcinj is mainly populated by muslims, but it is not a very religious place.
as you can see on the photo, the mosque is right next to a high speed internet cafe and the only people who dress up in typical muslim fashion are the older people.
City parasols.
by JLBG
On this close up, you can see that you must forget to walk along the beach. Walking from one parasol to another is quite an expedition as you have to take care of spare legs or arms if you do not want to hurt anybody (and yourself !). In the background, the quay in front of Stari grad Ulcinj is also dedicated to "bathers" (next tip)
