Serbs saved my life last night--my social life and my sanity all at once. Talking until 5 in the morning, about serious things, about not serious things at all. Walking and having them ask me, "ask us something about Serbia" and then discussing certain layers of their unbelievable history. People, my age, dragging themselves through the assumptions of the outside world viewing Serbs as mongrels, animals, and heartless, when all they really want to do is make a decent living, travel a bit, and talk to as many people as possible.
Stevan, Djan, Nina, Dario, and Sasa. And tonight I am going to a college party on the campus of a guy Becca and I both interviewed, Boban.
These are the moments you take with you. This was not eloquent. I need to do work.
