Hi! After the series about my adventures in Montenegro
I took a short break, because I had a unexpected, spontaneous trip to
visit our brothers in the Republic of Serbia and Slovenia
In short...
I drove 350 km to Banja Luka by scooter in one day
I took me 10 hours...
I filmed a video with one of our local YouTubers
maybe he is familiar to you
I held a presentation in the Mihajlo Pupin library in Slovenia
And over there, I attended the Momo Kapor exhibition
and this is me, "passing through the brine" at my hosts
My host: Draw it in like a straw!
Turn it down!
Did it start?
Liz: Yes, it did start...
Host: That's the way, bravo!
I don't know how I feel about this
And I fell from my motor, but I'm ok...
as you can see, I can jump!
you're not a real motorist, if you haven't fallen at least once
I'm kidding, you got to be careful
If you watch my life on Instagram or on YouTube this year
you'd probably think that all I do is travel
but, whilst I'm in Belgrade, the majority of my day looks like this...
*snoring*
And that's what I wanted to show you guys, in this video
some of my favourite places in Belgrade
*snoring*
and that is it, thank you for your attention, bye
I'm kidding, ok here we go...
This video is actually a trial for my new videographer, Stefan
Tell me if you think I should hire him at the end of this video
Ok so, the first place is my favourite place for coffee, PopyCoffee
We are currently on King Peter's street
Small but dangerous...
It's written on the cups...
♪ I'm drunk, but I didn't drink ♪
They have a mascot that is a sloth and every coffee costs only 150 rsd
And you can get croissants as well, I adore croissants
Jana: How are you?
Liz: Yea I'm great, I'm going to Slovenia on Sunday
Jana: How will... Liz: Opa, an orange fell...
Liz: Did you film that?
Liz: You have ghosts Jana: But they are nice
Liz: The last time when we were filming, she was pouring coffee (I didn't say this very well)
And then it overflowed... do you remember that?
Jana: It wasn't me, maybe it was someone else? Liz: No, no, it was you for sure
So the boss knows
Can we shot this coffee, since you're off on an adventure?
No please no, you don't have to
No, it's on us. Enjoy. Thank you.
Just look at how beautiful the Serbian nation
Do you have a boyfriend?
Jana: I do... I do...
Liz: Ok you "have"... Stefan: You're lying...
And I've been training at Prvi Tim for a long time
The guy who rides this motor saw my scooter and asked one of the trainers...
"Did Liz really ride to Montenegro on this piece of s**t?"
What I'm not really in the right equipment, but whatever
This is my gym, where I train 4 times a week
Can I try?
This is me climbing a rope, whilst I could barely walk
Martin: How are you? Careful! (of sweat)
Liz: I found a videographer
Martin: It's easier isn't it? When you have someone to film you. Liz: Yes totally!
Liz: I hate filming
Martin: Are you going to train?
Liz: Yes... later...
Martin: Later...
Liz: I mean, I could, but it might not be the smartest thing...
Nenad: Elizabeth is my good friend
Liz: Aww. He filmed a video on Instagram
Liz: Where he was doing... Nenad: Where more people were watching her than me who's doing the work
I was in the background, doing chin ups and everyone was commenting
on my chin ups, rather than your... what were you doing, I wasn't watching
Nenad: I don't know, I don't remember Liz: What was he doing again?
Liz: Famous producer in Serbia, just so you know
Pavle: What kind of video will I get into?
When the weather is nice, I like to work from Radionica
Stefan: Are we still filming or?
Liz: Nope!
And buy croissants and bread from Šarlo
Liz: Good day Baker: Good day
I'm here so often, that the guy knows what I always order
Liz: Do you want a croissant? Stefan: No thanks
Liz: Ok, but they are really good! Stefan: Ok I can eat one
That will be me eventually
Man, sitting on the street, this crazy machine...
This has passed how many kilometres?
To Montenegro and back is 900 km
and to Banja Luka and back is 700 km, together
Will it go further still?
Surely, all the way to Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia
My little Italian girl and I will travel the world
Stefan: Like this, Liz is going to travel the world
This is the real machine for travelling the world
and not this little scooter
But my favourite place, is my darling green market
This little dog. Doesn't know what...
Liz: Where it is. Stefan: Literally doesn't know where it is...
We are now located in Bajloni Market
And I'm really glad that we have markets at all
I buy my eggs here
Hello, hey, hey
The best eggs in Belgrade, are found here
isn't that right? Vendor: Yes, yes, thank you
But I already bought some
Yea, I haven't finished them yet...
There's ajvar, jam, honey
Vendor: Strudla... Liz: Strudla...
I can eat one a day
Stefan: I thought that you would buy something
Liz: No because I literally bought a whole tray yesterday
Stefan: She was not impressed at all... Her reaction was...
You really came to film, without buying anything
Srđan: Hey!
Liz: How are you today!
Srđan: You? Are you well?
Liz: Yes I am. He's from Leskovac!
Srđan: From Leskovac *corrects my case*
Liz: Leskovac *follows his lead*
In this moment, I was questioning all of my Serbian classes...
My mind: Isn't this genitive? From where? Isn't it masculine? Don't I add an 'a'? Leskovac
And then I remembered that in the south of Serbia, there are only 4 cases
and genetive doesn't exist, so... he's correct man!
Liz: Leskovac *correcting my Serbian*
Srđan: We are well, we're working
Liz: Are you ok with being in the shot?
Srđan: Why wouldn't I?
Super, he's really photogenic isn't he?
Srđan: Yep!
Look at how great he is!
Did the ajvar arrive yet?
Srđan: Aaa geeze, we have been back home to Leskovac yet
Do you want me to find some for you?
Liz: No it will be ok, I'll be back anyway
Yesterday, I watched Toma, the film
Srđan: Toma Liz: And he's from Leskovac
Srđan: He is there near my village
Srđan: He is from Pečenjevce, and I'm from Lipovica
a few kilometres further from me... Liz: Neighbours!
Srđan: They put a statue of Toma Ždravković in that village
Liz: Well then I have to go. Isn't that right? Let's go.
Srđan: Yes, just 3 kms from my village
Liz: We can make ajvar!
Srđan: We can make ajvar!
Momo Kapor says, "Those who do not visit the green markets,
will never understand the Serbian people."
Liz: Hi! Vesna: Haha, hi! Vesna's mum: Hi!
Liz: How are you? Vesna: You came!
Liz: I came with a videographer we are filming something for YouTube
Are you ok with being filmed? Vesna's mum: You bet!
Liz: Here I buy the be- Customer: Meat.
Liz: Meat... the best meat, you can even get your lunch cooked
2 for me, one for the grill
Stefan: You bought something finally!
Vesna's mum: She buys something every day
Liz: See?
Liz: I love stew. Vesna's mum: You see?
Liz: So, I will come...
Vesna's mum: So you can go and we'll keep your meat here for you when come back
Liz: I will come back, at 4... Vesna's mum: We close at 4. Liz: To pick up some stew.
Liz: What sort of stew?
Vesna's mum: Pumpkin
Liz: From pumpkin...
Vesna: Come back for stew later
Liz: Ok I will
Vesna: Ok
It waits for you here
And of course when I returned the pot, I didn't return it empty
I know that this video is short, but we only had two hours to film
How did Stefan go? Do you like him? Tell me in the comments...
One day, when I am that little old Asian lady pulling a cart to the market
I am sure that I will be one of those nostalgics that Momo Kapor hated
"I hate nostalgic types, who claim that Belgrade was once better,
more beautiful, more cleaner. It isn't.
For them, that was the best times, because they were young.
He is what he is.
We are the ones who change.
Belgrade always stays the same." - Momo Kapor
