Bad photo of the courtyard of the royal palace. Am interested in buying the place

Some arches at my palace

A fine rum.

Belgrade you troublemaker you. What a great city. It earns its title of top nightlife place in Europe. Wooooo! I’m not too high on clubs, and the Balkans hasn’t changed that opinion all that much but Plastic in Belgrade was something else. Great music and it was paaacked. Not only did I amend international relations with some Serbian nationalists, I enjoyed good beer at a whopping $2 for 2.5L. Keep people beered at a good price and you keep people happy. I went on a couple tours which were really interesting but I definitely need to see more of the city next time around. Moving onto Romania next! Actually I’m writing this while already in Romania enjoying beer in a kebab joint. But I don’t want to break this ‘up-to-date blog’ illusion. ILLUSIOOON.

First night there went out to a local comic book art exhibit

My hostel. (Just kidding)

Getting to Nis was the biggest test this man has endured. Many a person has failed, but I was determined to succeed. I arrived at the bus station plenty early. I’m normally used to having a general ticket sales counter, sometimes an international and regional section, but it is usually very Cody-friendly. Sofia was a little different. To make a long story short, it took me 45 minutes to find the proper bus company (Maptu) that would take me to Nis. The worst of it was that I previously wrote the name of the company in my little book. A super friendly local who was also on my bus helped me out, thanks Veronica!

Nis was a lot bigger than I expected. Really cool city, a lot of students there. The hostel was pretty empty so the host took me out with his friends out on the town. I’ve been to some big party cities on my trip and y’know I’ve put in some work, but I don’t think I’ve partied harder than I did in Nis (sorry mom).

Currently a couple cities ahead of the blog, onto Cluj Napoca next 🙂
