Wowwowowowowo Jullllyyyy iissss hereeeeeee! This is the moooost active month of the year i guess, you will see below 🙂
Before this month, i said to Daniel that i want to learn how to write a project. And he was so okay and started to teach me and my little family all together. Me, Caro, Mus and Helene were writing and he was supposed to check. Beginnig was good, then so many things ( i mean activities 😀 ) happened and we stopped at some point.
Custom Festival is in tooowwnnn!
There was a festival in the Stegma and Nevo had agreement with the municipality for us being volunteer during the festival. Our main task was cleaning the area. They gave us free food and alcohol ( if you know how to behave, you can find the trick to get more of them). There were John Newman, The Rasmus, some jazz guys and the last concert was Emir Kusturica and his band who were soooooooooo nice. It was raining cats and dogs but we were all together, with rubbish bags on us, drunk and having fun under the rain.
Birthday of Cosmos
Weeeelllll, after all these memories, there is one that we will never forget in our lives. Literally getting drunk as fuck with 5lt white wine at 6 pm!
Then we called Cosmos to celebrate his birthday, he came with more wine, got drunk, we slept at 10pm 🙂 There was a jazz festival in Garana, we went there to set up camps, Caro and Marcian enjoyed the water!
So Keres? Europa, Novi Sad
Daniel sent aaaalll the volınteers to Novi Sad, Serbia for the annual Roma Forum So Keres. There were soooo many people from all over Europe. We had to choose one topic/group that we want to work during 5 days and present in the end. The groups were likee gender issues, women, photograph, Roma discrimination, Art, Music workshops etc.. Me and Helene chose music. There is one Roma band from Hungary, we were working with them 5-6 songs to sing in the biggest event in the end. It was really really so amazing. I felt so great and grateful to my decision and my life. We danced all together in the beach next to Danube river, was such a night in my life 🙂
The Number Two Biiiiiig Triiip-Croatia and Bosnia ♥️
After the forum finished, me, Mus and Helene departed for Zagreb. It took a bit much time to leave Serbia actually, but at some point we found the main “truck” road and stopped some Turkish trucks. One guy took us till the border, he gave us food and drinks, after the border i stopped one more Turkish truck, he took us somewhere 20km far away Zagreb, it was dark and rainy so he let us stay in the truck and in the morning, he prepared breakfast for us. Helene was having her first Turkish breakfast. Then he left us somewhere close to city center of Zagreb ( 3hours walking close).
After the tough trip to Zagreb, we wanted to go to Split by hitchiking buuuut we learnt how difficult it is by experiencing (2 hours waiting, nobody stopped). Then we decided to go by bus 😀 Finally we were in Split which was amaaaaaziing and again because of the lack of accommodation, we had some tough times, but it was worthy 🙂
Bosnia-Herzegovina, country of the pain….
After Split, we arrived to Mostar. It was so crowded but still sooo nice. Here, Helene heard “ezan/pray” for the first time on the Mostar Bridge.
Aterwards, we went to Sarajevo. Seeing the buildings with bullet marks was so sad. They still have the bad memories of war. And it was one of the most intercultural cities i have ever seen in my life. There is one line, the right side of the line is totally like from Ottoman Empire, the other side is totally a Europe city.
In the bus, nonstop
