24!

Last week I turned 24, СРЕЋАН РОЂЕНДАН (happy birthday) to me!

In Serbia, it is expected that the birthday boy or girl pays for everything – whether it is dinner at a restaurant or hosting a house party. While this seems a little bit backwards to me, when I went out to dinner with a friend the weekend before my birthday, I paid per the Serbian birthday tradition.

Also, Brev picked up some treats from the local bakery. Here cakes are typically multilayer sponge cakes with cream filling and these were no exception. We got chocolate cakes, but nuts and fruits are typical additions to Serbian tortes. They were delicious!
