Yesterday was my first day back at work since the 7th. Now, taking two weeks off during summer (slowest part of the year) is nothing new to me considering I rarely take time off during the semesters. This time as many times before the destination was Europe, I went back home for a brief visit and must say that it was amazing. Two weeks of hanging out with friends and family, walking around, partying (mainly drinking) were fun, but also a bit challenging and tiring at times. Having lived in the U.S. for the past 10 years I just don’t think that I’m conditioned for the 24/7 party life. All jokes aside I did alright, nothing to be ashamed of. I can still hold my own.

Here are a couple of brief videos from this trip starting with an additional security measure prior to departing from Newark International Airport. As a “lucky winner” I was selected for additional screening. They claimed that being a young male traveling alone to Eastern Europe had nothing to do with it…sure. Bastards!

First night in Serbia (it’s become a tradition of sorts) we went to “Acapulco” (no, not that Acapulco) a Sava River barge in Belgrade where party never ends…it seems that way at least. This video is a bit dark and at this point it’s well past 3 AM.

On August 13th, I’ve attended a football (aka soccer) game between my favorite team FC Partizan and Turkish Fenerbahce in the 3rd and final round of qualifying matches for the Champions League. Game ended 2:2 which still gives us hope to qualify into the Champions League. Rematch (in Istanbul) will be played today.
Here’s a sample of the atmosphere.

We also went to Belgrade Beer Fest. Crazy event with LOTS of beer. [Girl goofing around is my best friend's girlfriend]

So over all it was a great trip, we all had fun, did a lot of partying, traveling, saw a lot and really enjoyed ourselves. Now, we are back in Jersey, working, school starts next week and the routine will be “back in session” in no time. As always I will try to break it up with trips whenever possible, maybe even an extended weekend trip to Las Vegas next month.

Now that I have told you a bit about my trip it’s your turn to share what have you done, where did you go, are you ready to go back to work, school or whatever it is that you do?
