Some days off in Novi Sad

There was orthodox eastern las weekend…so we had a second weekend off. I used this short holydays to pass some days in Novi Sad, Vojvodinas capital, about 100 km south of Subotica. Novi Sad has maybe the double of habitants, but seams much bigger than Subotica. I really loved it for being full of shops, cosy coffee places, bars, fancy and less stylish ones and people. I also got to meet some more EVS-volunteers. I am the only EVS in Subotica, but there are eight of them in Novi Sad. I had already met Marta and Manu before, in the IBB-Training and now got to know the other girls. I am glad to be the only foreigner volunteer in Subotica, so I don’t run the risk to spend all my time with other foreigners. Still seeing them like that, spending all there free time together, being really good and close friends, I got little bit of jalous, not to having this international company. I mean, if ever they have any problem with there EVS or Serbia or cultural misunderstanding etc. they have each other, and they all are in the same situation and can understand each other…
But anyway, I can’t complain about my situation either. So I spent a lot of time in Novi Sad, walking around, discovering all the backyards with small shops (spending all my money on earrings!!) and bars, the amazing fortress of Petrovaradin, where the EXIT-Festival is going to take place, and then sitting in coffees and bars with the Novi Sad Volunteers and some Serbian friends of them. Saturday night Irene, an Italian volunteer, took me with their friends to watch a movie in a friends place. I spent a nice and calm evening at the home of her friends. Oh, and Sunday I went to Fruska Gora.
