Baby, look!
Oh my god!
This place is so beautiful!
Whoa!
It's much more beautiful than the UK
I don't know where we've landed, but this place is pretty cool
Let's go?
Let's go!
Just listen to the wind rushing through the valley
Actually, a few weeks ago I really didn't know Montenegro
a place like this exists
But once I'd heard of it I was thinking
what the hell is "Black Mountain?" (Montenegro)
Is it a mountain?
Turns out it's the name of a country
It's a small country in Europe
And after coming here I realised
it's not very similar to other countries in Europe
It has a lot of aspects where the style is more like Asia
For example the supermarkets
and roads, houses
And also petrol stations
They're all a bit like the Chinese style
Yeah, that's true
There's a few things that really remind me of China as well like
seeing the people riding boats out into the lakes
And the shape of some of the mountains
I think my first impression of this place is that it feels like
it's very rural, like there's
there's not much here, but actually we're
only a small drive away from the capitol city
It's very beautiful here
There's snow mountains all around us
And there's lots of dogs and cats
Really so many dogs and cats
While walking we're always walking into different dogs and cats
It feels a little bit wilder than most places I've been to
Like even the river running through Podgorica
It didn't have any manmade
Well, nothing was built around the river
to control it or whatever, it's just a river
And yeah, I like that, I like that feeling
It feels like things haven't been disturbed too much here
There's way less development and all the civilisation that there is
is much much smaller, like the
little settlements that we can see around here, there's
only a few hundred people - if that
Like, there's really not many people living in these places
which just makes it feel really
I think it makes it feel less modern
just because there's less people
There's mountain in all directions
Houses are only a small percentage (of the landscape)
And I was just looking at the map right now and
the paths just join everything up here
All these, like the little towns we can see over here
There's paths that lead to all these little settlements
Maybe just twenty people live in each one
You could say that here
right now, before us coming here
people must have relied on walking
in and out of the big mountains
to every village, every small town
And then there's also
these abandoned houses everywhere
and stuff is just like breaking and falling down
And I don't know if it's because people have moved out of here
or there's just no maintenance or what but
Yeah, so many different types of building all
broken, not just people's houses
I also have this feeling
Especially when compared to the UK, because there
no matter where you go, it's very controlled
Even if there's a pothole in the road
somebody will paint a circle around it to tell you there's a hole
but (here) it makes you feel more casual
Very laid back
You don't have to worry about anything, just walk wherever
Yeah, and the people here seem very relaxed as well
Oh, the people here! So far they're all very friendly
Yeah, yeah very friendly
How honest are the people here?
Just now we were back there, sitting at the table
and suddenly a man came over
We thought he was going to make us buy something
He said, if you don't want to buy anything that's fine, you don't have to
So we thought maybe we should buy some coffee
And when we were paying for it, because of no change
he said we didn't need to
This happened in a tourist center
Can you believe that?
I think the people here are incredibly down to earth
We just bought some little snacks from a shop
and we thought we'd show you what they're like
This...
is bread
So salty!
These snacks, gross
Oh really?
Weird
Really puffy crisps
Then we've got some of these
Bruschetti chips
I think these are the best so far, right?
Like pieces of roasted Chinese bread
Actually the ones I chose were ones I thought were similar to Chinese snacks
And these ones too
Oh, hello!
Dora, Dora!
Dora, come here!
I think I'll stick with my banana for now
Yeah and also the houses
The houses are very very different architecturally
A lot of the houses have the orange roofs and then just white plaster walls
And grapes growing outside
And wild pomegranates
Basically in every house you can find at least one grapevine
Perhaps wine is one of their produces
We guess
And we've also seen wild herbs growing around
Wild sage, wild thyme
Probably some more that we don't recognise as well
Yeah, and I think this is a hiker's heaven
If you want to hike, there must be so many routes to walk
Yeah, so many
From China to Britain made me feel
that the way we each look after dogs is so different
On the street, you basically can't see a dog
that isn't on a lead or doesn't have an owner
When people walk dogs basically everyone uses a lead
And when you pass people's houses etc
you need to put them on a lead
Only when you're in a place that has no people, sheep, kids
can you let your dog of the lead
I already got used to that way
And suddenly after coming here discovered there's so many stray dogs!
Suddenly from behind a dog will pop out and start following you
Follow you so far, like they're accompanying you
and the cats are the same
I really think every few steps and a dog will come out
But they don't seem like they're having a bad life
They don't seem really thin and skinny
They just seem like they're wandering around and they don't have a house to go back to
And they don't seem like people have been hitting them
because they're not scared of people
Like you say, they're just following us around
But there's some dogs that are used for
like, as guards
Dogs here are for work
They're either hunting dogs or guard dogs
Or you know...
Or alarms
So they're generally chained up and caged most of the time
Not many people have a dog as a pet
So to a certain extent you can see
this place's tolerance of dogs
I suddenly have a feeling, I feel
dogs in different places have different lives
Just like people in different countries, different
societies, people's lives are different
I think one of the other things
that we've been talking about as well is the fact there's not much farming here
Maybe it's too wet for crops?
I think yeah, it's a point
It seems there aren't many crops here
So wet
Yeah, there's grapes everywhere growing in front of people's gardens
but there's not really any fields, right?
I haven't seen any crops
Yeah, maybe in different parts of the country there is
but in this area, definitely
no fields, everything must be imported
Our travels this time are different from before
We're not completely free and relaxed
We took on a small mission in coming here
Our role is volunteer
Yeah
We have a nice big house!
We have a nice environment
And car
Our monster
We've got everything we need here
Next time maybe if you guys are interested we can share a bit more about that
And what exactly we're doing, what it's like
How fun it is, if it works for us
Yeah
Yeah, we can talk about it
I'm also very willing to share about this
To let more people try out this method (of travel)
So far so good right?
Very nice
