In my street

Often people asks me how it is to live in Serbia, and more precisely in the country side. Because, even if Kruševac has 65000 people who live there, people here always told me "Kruševac is boring because it is a small city".

How to describe it: there is a city center, with a pedestrian street full of pubs (ok, its not really goods pubs for most of them), a library (kind of old communist style, I have been only once even if I love libvraries usually, this one is a bit to scary for me), swimming pool... and even 2 cinemas (ok, only one is working, with one movie per week, in a kind of old amphitheater where noone goes but...).





And there are 3 part of nice habitation: Bagdalla number 1, 2 and 3. Bagdalla is a hill of Kruševac.

I am living in Bagdalla 1, the oldest part of Bagdalla. Nice and quiet part of the town, 10 minutes by foot to the citycenter (ok, it is a small city so everything is close to the city center!)

I love my street, and could spend hours walking there. When I come back from work (3PM), I can catch the sunset in the street and it give a beautiful colour on the houses.

In my street, big dogs are barking in the garden (I always scared!) and the little dogs, living on the street, follow you and try to fuck other little dogs.



In my street, there are cute houses, some of them are small and look to be atelier for carton stuff, an other one is amazing, looks to be the house of the boy in the movie "Charly and the Chocolate Factory" from Tim Burton...


In my street, little boys play football when it's sunny, and play with sledge when it's snowing, and, little girls fight with huge wood sticks (yeah, I saw it in my street!)...

In my street old people work on their garden, cut flowers, clean the snow, and speake to other old people.







People looks to be happy in my street, and it is maybe why I love it so much!



(PS: do you see the car on the right at the end of the street?... I am living there!)
