Vacation

So I have decided that my internship in Serbia will probably be more of a vacation. I will only be working three days a week, leaving plenty of time for my roommate, Susie, and I to travel and explore. Our placement seems intent on us enjoying our time in Serbia and wants us to have a positive experience. All of our coworkers are very friendly and excited about practicing their English. That's great for them, but I need some serious work on my Serbian! Blank stares, handgestures, and the like will only get me so far. I get so frustrated not understanding ANYTHING. I hope I'll pick something up.

Yesterday and today Susie and I slept in and walked around. We found some great restaurants and cafes and an Irish Pub...so funny. There is also a Chinese restaurant here. Wild. Today we went to the market and fumbled around with understanding how much things cost. People were very nice about it and I'm sure it was funny to watch us. At least I have an umbrella now since it likes to rain at random times and can come down fairly hard.

TV is hilarious and most of the channels are in English and have Serbian subtitles...to funny. We have cable, but haven't really watched TV, just flipped through channels to see what there was. I still can't believe how nice our apartment is! Susie and I have gotten a good deal here in Novi Sad.
