You may have realized by now that I love to walk through cities by night. Belgrade is probably my favorite "night walks" city. First it is darker than any city I know so far, except Katmandu maybe, but I have not been there for a very long time.
Second the light seems to be very yellowish here. I don't know if this is because of the dirt and pollution in the air or if they use different bulbs.
When I came here for the first time in 1999 this struck me immediately. Lit shops and house entrances get to look so mysterious in this generally much darker city. I like the deserted shops and the empty hallways. Some times you to get to see through a not properly closed curtain into an apartment and you get a glimpse of a different live, sometimes you pass a restaurant where the last quests don't feel like going home even though the waiters started to close the restaurant.
I was very luck yesterday because it started snowing, which makes it even more fun because people don't go out and you are pretty much alone out there.
Unfortunately I am a bit of a wuss and get scared often if the streets get to narrow and to dark. It doesn't help that there is always someone approaching me . Yesterday I took the iPod with me, which was a pretty good idea, it's a bit like diving in the city, - you don't hear all the party people screaming and chatting, just you, the music and the city.
