Lapin à l'orange (rabbit with orange and ginger sauce): skiing in Chamonix

As I just realized, the past winter (despite my injuries) I managed to have squeezed in double digits of skiing days. This is a massive achievement for an ultra non-sporty person with minimal skiing experience! A lot of it was due to some impromptu skiing weekends in places close to Zurich (the benefits of being in Central Europe!)

Goulash Paprikash: Guca Trumpet Festival, Serbia

"Beach" on Ada Ciganlija, a river island on Sava River complete with an artificial lake. 

Back in August, we found out one of our friends was doing an internship in Belgrade, and so we decided to go visit him since we haven't travelled eastwards ever since arriving in Europe.

Belgrade was definitely a nice break from Zurich. We could actually afford to eat... excessively... We had coffee about 3 times a day (cafe hopping along the pedestrian-only street of Knez Mihajlova), massive brunches for about 10CHF (at really nice restaurants!), dodgy-looking-but-super-delicious chicken burgers, and cheap beers were plentiful. The city is really urban, and the people are super relaxed and friendly. One thing I noticed (and obviously the guys I was traveling with..) were the girls, who well, made me feel really um... inadequate. Either Belgrade girls are very gifted or plastic surgeons get a lot of business here.. :)
