Belgrade Shopping

THIS IS A LARGE GREY BUILDING LOCATED IN NOVI BEOGRAD. THERE IS A PARKING GARAGE BELOW. UPSTAIRS IS MERCATOR DEPARTMENT STORE, A SLOVENIAN CHAIN. I GUESS IT'S KIND OF LIKE A SMALLER "SUPER WALMART".
YOU CAN BUY EVERYTHING FROM CLOTHING TO GOAT CHEESE.
OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN STORE, THERE ARE OTHER SMALLER SHOPS. INCLUDING A SWEET/ ICE CREAM SHOP.
I WAS ACTUALLY YELLED AT FOR TAKING THIS PHOTO. I HEARD THE SECURITY OFFICER TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION WHILE I SET UP THE PICTURE. I JUST IGNORED HIM AS BEST I COULD AND SNAPPED THE SHOT. THEN MYSELF AND MY FRIEND'S SON PLAYED STUPID. HE JUST TOLD THE GUARD THAT I WAS FROM NEW YORK AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANY SERBIAN. SOMETIMES SAYING LESS WILL GET YOU MORE.

What to buy: YOU CAN FIND NEARLY ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD FIND IN AMERICA. SADLY, YOU CANNOT FIND "FRANKS RED HOT" TO MAKE BUFFALO WINGS. SO I BROUGHT SOME WITH ME FROM NEW YORK.
ALSO CHEDDER CHEESE IS RARE. I ALSO BROUGHT SOME OF THIS.
ANYTHING ELSE, YOU CAN FIND.

OH YEAH, SUB/ HOGIE SHOPS ARE NON EXISTANT... THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY FOOD THAT I CRAVED AND COULD NOT FIND.

What to pay: YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY ABOUT THE SAME FOR THINGS AS HERE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK.

More Africa...African musical instruments are an intergral part to each African society. Their importance has been traditionally seen in the sound component that each carries, but they carry additional roles as well. There is a strong interest today for them being seen as art objects that are aesthetically pleasing to viewers, and for the social context that each instrument carries, representing the religious, political, and everyday beliefs of the society in which it was made.

What to pay: 10 - ??? EURO
