Belgrade's an interesting place to live. Here's where we'll keep a record of some random pictures that don't fit so well on other pages.

On any given day, there are 1 or 2 stands set up, selling fruit, plants, egss, etc out of the trunk of someone's car. There are lots of other great ways to shop here. |

Because the International School and a good number of foreign residences are in the area, there are usually policemen to be found all around. Of course, they can't get anywhere too fast in case of emergency!!  |
One of the more interesting government jobs is that of "Train Man." At railroad crossings, instead of an automated gate, men sit inside a guard shack all day long and wait for trains to come, and then go out to hand crank the railings up and down! |

When we head downtown, we drive down a major road flanked by chestnut trees. We glimpse the buildings in the distance before crossing the Novi Sad/Nis highway. Belgrade's public transportation consists of diesel buses, electric buses, and electric trains. Wires criss cross the main street, and it is not uncommon for a bus to 'jump the track' and stall in the middle of the road until the electric guide rods can be replaced on the wires. |
