[Travel Note Sharing] A brief note about the trip to Serbia the year before last (5)

After talking about food, let’s talk about the highlight, Kopaonik Snow Mountain.

I have skied at Modu Qixing, Yalib and Shennongjia before. I know how to skateboard, so I wanted to learn to snowboard. But the coach didn’t want to teach both single board and double board, so I learned to double board with my friends.

First of all, transportation: There are buses from Novi Sad, Belgrade and Tesla Airport to Kopaonik Snow Mountain. It is said that there used to be trains ~ but we chose cars. We got up early and rushed to the bus station at 5 or 6 o'clock (on foot, the city of Belgrade is very small.

It is recommended to buy tickets online and pick them up at the ticket office. Otherwise, there may be no tickets and the price will be much higher. The journey takes about 6 hours. It is recommended to take the bus before 9 o'clock so that you can check in before dark.

Passing through several villages along the way and seeing IKEA basically means leaving the city. One thing, because my family and I are in the furniture industry, I pay special attention to this area. The demand for furniture in Serbia is still quite large, but the people have no money, what should they do? Second-hand! The second-hand market in Serbia is surprisingly large and rich.

On the way to Kopaonik, the biggest feeling was: it’s all black soil! It is really fertile, but it has no industrial base and no chemical fertilizers. This is different from Kenya. In Kenya, people must be organic and do not use chemical fertilizers. Serbia's industry has been destroyed and there is no way to establish a fertilizer industry. The animal husbandry industry is relatively good. The area of black soil is probably more than half of Sichuan. I can’t remember the specific number. I discussed it on the forum at the time.

I started climbing the mountain as soon as I entered the area of Kopaonik. It was really enjoyable and fun to cross the snow line every time. There was even greenery on this side of the road, but after a big uphill turn, everything suddenly turned white.

The sunset on the snow-capped mountains is also particularly beautiful. After having a delicious Western meal, I returned to the airbnb where I stayed. The owner of the room and the owner of the villa next door are all people who work in Belgrade on weekdays. They are either rich or have a relatively good family background and education. relatively young people.

They all speak excellent English and are very enthusiastic. I talked to them about China's development, and they reflected on the collapse of Yugoslavia, the split between Serbs and Croats, Tito's merits and demerits, and the collapse of the socialist camp. Because they are young people, they have no feelings for CCCP and CCP. But their favorable impression of the Chinese people is inherited from the previous generation.

We ate white rabbit and drank plum brandy. It's very sweet and delicious, and I get drunk very naturally... I can usually drink six ounces of 43% liquor when fighting in a wine shop, but I can't drink four ounces of brandy with them. They were also frightened by my habit of cheering and thought I was a fool.

The landlady's sister, who is 1.7 meters tall, got drunk and kissed me. It was terrible. Unfortunately, I drank too much and had a hideous expression (actually, I was ugly). The next morning they served me breakfast as if they were fine. I was so hungover that I vomited in the snow while skiing the next day... It was so embarrassing.

When I was half asleep that night, I couldn't help but think of my ex. Later, my ex became my girlfriend, and in 2019 I went to the United States and became my ex again. Just go play with the stove, it’s actually not cold...

Use a pink ignition substance to ignite firewood that is as thick as a small arm... I burned a large box of ignition powder to light the stove. It feels good. I will definitely install a fireplace when I have the ability to decorate it in the future.

The ski resort is really spectacular. I also took a lot of footage with a drone, which will be uploaded to station B later. I will update it here tonight. The U.S. stock market has crashed. Let’s have a drink.

Remember to drink plenty of hot water when you go to the snowy mountains. I have a thin nasal mucosa...
