Monika Kostera (urbanlegend)
Niš skyline
We went to Niš by accident and fell in love with it. It's full of everything mixed up without any imposed logic or plan, it seems. The people are fantastic. At the hotel we were staying, called My Place, a new very classy hotel designed by the local group Garaz, we met genuinly friendly and completely human people - not the trained-to-the-limits hotel employees one usually encounters at hotel chains. We also met a polyglot waiter, a gang of cute & hilarious Roma kids who wanted to be photographed (and my husband took a very nice photo of them), an inquisitive older shop assistant, speaking good English and wondering why on Earth I came to Niš - no sea, no mountains...? - and all this without us being in the least extroverted. Unlike Belgrade where I felt all the time I was drawn into somebody else's space, or that someone was striding into my space, in Niš people were outgoing in a very friendly and natural way.
Love you, Niš.
