Just few tips here... Serbian currency is called dinar. You will be expected to pay with dinars, no foreign currencies are allowed. But that's not a problem, exchange offices can be found on every corner. One euro is around 95 dinars, but for more accurate information, here's a link: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/t/cf58e/a/affea/0/
Credit cards are widely accepted in shops and restaurant, and atm's can be found on every corner. Leave a Comment

if you have spend some time in Belgrade you will probably have noticed that people there are busy. They run faster. They are more concerned about fashion as well.
In Novi Sad things are slower. They dress more casual, and it doesnt mean it doesnt look good just different.
People seem to sit in the cafes all day taking it more easy. What you can do today you can always do tomorrow. Leave a Comment

Easter is the most important religious feast of the Christian liturgical year, observed between late March and late April (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity). It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which occurred after his death by crucifixion in AD 27-33 .
Easter eggs are specially decorated eggs given out to celebrate the Easter holiday.
Decorated eggs are much older than Easter, and both eggs and rabbits are age-old fertility symbols. The Passover Seder service uses a hard-cooked egg flavored with salt water as a symbol both of new life and the Temple service in Jerusalem. The Jewish tradition may have come from earlier Roman Spring feasts.
Easter egg origin stories abound—one has an emperor claiming that the Resurrection was as likely as eggs turning red more prosaically the Easter egg tradition may have celebrated the end of the privations of Lent. In the West, eggs were seen as "meat", which would have been forbidden during Lent. Likewise, in Eastern Christianity, both meat and dairy are prohibited during the fast, and eggs are seen as "dairy" (a foodstuff that could be taken from an animal without shedding its blood). Another Orthodox tradition is the presenting of red colored eggs to friends while giving Easter greetings. This custom had its beginning with Mary Magdalene. After the Ascension of Christ, she went to the Emperor of Rome and greeted him with "Christ is risen", as she gave him a red egg. She then began preaching Christianity to him. The egg is symbolic of the grave and life renewed by breaking out of it. The red symbolizes the blood of Christ redeeming the world, represented by the egg, and our regeneration through the bloodshed for us by Christ. The egg itself is a symbol of the Resurrection while being dormant it contains a new life sealed within it. Leave a Comment
