We have found another way to go to the former Yugoslavia, at least virtually, during the travel restrictions. This time not in a culinary way, but in an acoustic way. Using the internet via mobile phone and the app "ExYu Radio", we now listen to the same stations while jogging in Germany as we do... Continue Reading →

As a deposit for the locker in the library?As a means of payment in the canteen? Neither: It was a token for cutlery (Žeton za Eszajg). You had to hand it in at... Continue Reading →
