    The country still didn’t heal from the war completely. There is tension at the border and local conflicts that happen now and then. The capital though is trying to live on without keeping hard feelings. And yet, the war films that film students make, the red flags on the streets and the symbol of the Kosovo Liberation Army that an ex-fighter keeps at home help to remember. by: pogodi Views[534] One of the “sights” of the city is a nearby nuclear power station. “When the wind blows in our direction we get high without drugs”, - jokes a young Albanian guy. This is an anti-nuclear exhibition in the National Theater of Prishtina. by: pogodi Views[628] Because of the war the average age of the population these days is very young. Being supported by European Union one part of the youth becomes active in politics and culture, another part is more concentrated on partying hard. The night life in Prishina often reminds of Berlin. The day-life and its working-class spirit of the adults still reminds of Eastern Europe. by: pogodi Views[625] And if you look down – you find yourself in the middle of a compressed city full of construction sites standing next to new and shiny buildings lost in myriads of cars parked on top of each other. This city leaves a feeling of a place in the middle of its growth, yet far from blooming. by: pogodi Views[669] Prishtina appeared to be a city where when you look up - you see the web of wires, numerous minarets that pierce through it to reach the sky and red spots of the flag with a black eagle – unofficial separatist flag used from 1991 to 2000 and yet still extremely popular among Albanians in Kosovo as a symbol of the victory. by: pogodi Views[704]
     

    Museum and New Pants

    KOSOVO | Fri, 18 Sep 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [532] | Comments [2]

    Yesterday the original plan was to check-out and go somewhere else-and I was undecided on the other place. I was debating on another spot in Kosovo; people have recommended a few-or to leave Kosovo or go to Macedonia.  In the end-I chose neither.... Read more >

    Two Sides and 100% Tips

    KOSOVO | Thu, 17 Sep 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [482]

    Yesterday I  went to a town called Mitrovica which is  a split town. Half the town is occupied by those who speak the Albanian  language who recognize themselves as citizens of Kosovo. Across the bridge are those who speak Serbian, and ... Read more >

    Walking Tour and Sitting on the Porch

    KOSOVO | Wed, 16 Sep 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [493]

    Yesterday, I went on a walking tour of Pristina. This is what I was looking forward to all along. Pristina obviously isn't a Madrid, Prague or even a Sarajevo. This is the largest city of a country that has oficially only been recognized since 2008. ... Read more >

    Kooky Kosovo

    KOSOVO | Tue, 15 Sep 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [430]

    Yesterday was my first full day in Pristina.  The day before, when I arrived here, the  girl at the hostel gave me a photocopied map of the city, with various points of interest, restaurants, etc. The map sucked-since it was photocopied, the ... Read more >

    Tirana to Pristina

    KOSOVO | Mon, 14 Sep 2015 | By davidpearlman | Views [512]

    Yesterday I slept until around 7:30 am, and went for a jog around town, and went back to my room at the hotel. I then had breakfast at the free buffet. And what a buffet it was! The serving tables had all types of cereal, eggs, an omelet station, ... Read more >

    Serbian Borders, Kosovo cakes and alot of waiting... Fail

    BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA | Sat, 21 Nov 2009 | By katie_louise | Views [516]

    OK Kosovo...We managed to not stay to long (thats the best and worse thing about Kosovo is that it feels so homely that you can end up staying for 2 weeks or more if you are not careful). We had a fantastic time there catching up with friends and exploring ... Read more >

    Turkish police, Turkish Universities and Roma Gypsies

    Hello all. Apologies on the lack of writing on this blog. The last time I wrote I was in Paris. Since then I have been to a music festival in Leeds (classy weekend ladies). Home. Amsterdam (again, classy times. CAF). Then back to Paris for a week because ... Read more >
