Belgrade, Serbia
People asked me a lot of silly questions about Serbia. Unfortunately, the most common ones are not at all about my country. They are about Siberia.
- Oh, it’s really cold in your country, right?
- Do you speak European?
- Serbia? You mean Siberia. In English it’s pronounced Si-be-ri-a. Repeat after me: Si-be-ri-a.
- Serbia is right next to Brazil, right?
- Do you speak Russian?
- Why are you so pale if you are from Baghdad? Oh, Belgrade. Are you sure it’s not Baghdad?
- Do you drink a lot of vodka?
- How much snow do you have during summer?
- Have you met Putin?
