Book Review – With Their Backs to the World: A Portrait from Serbia
I stopped by a book store in Prague one morning, intended to find good books about the Czech Republic when I spotted “With Their Backs to the World.” It is written by Asne Seierstad, a Norwegian journalist who spent an extensive amount of time in Serbia from 1999 to 2004 reporting for the Norwegian press.

Do you find blogs recommending accommodation useful for your travel planning? This time, I’m reviewing such blog. Like its sister blogs, Accommodation News and Update is brand new and only comprises few posts, making my job as a reviewer difficult as I have little information to comment on.

The opening lament is Chaje Shukarije, sung by the “Queen of the Gypsies”, Esma Redzepova from Macedonia. Goran Bregovic, a Bosnian singer/composer also has music featured [...]
