My cousin teaches journaling classes in the US and she has sent me a box of goodies. My sister is handling I list I sent her already as I'm kind of picky about my art markers (stupid art major I was working on spoiled me to the good products). And I can't get Sharpies here in Serbia!!! That should be a crime! But we'll manage! We love this place and we have to deal with all the quirks.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965872848190971071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-85064523080948565652012-03-09T00:53:11.557-08:002012-03-09T00:53:11.557-08:00I love this post, and I agree, wallmart is a great...I love this post, and I agree, wallmart is a great store from the point that it has everything, a one stop shop as you said :)<br /><br /><br />BTW, Did you check out Creatinas (http://www.creatinas.co.rs/) ? They usually have everything if you want to make crafts, etc. You mention you went to the one by the post office, is this the one u visited?serbcanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013037269081032975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-13074446435498756802012-03-08T00:36:51.040-08:002012-03-08T00:36:51.040-08:00I can usually find most of the food items that I n...I can usually find most of the food items that I need (once I can understand the labels) in Serbia, but crafting is a little tricky here. Although, like Le Leche Belgrade mentioned, "crafting" is not a common hobby or past time here. Maybe I am remembering only the good things about the "one-stop-shop mentality"??? Houston is a little more busy than Lexington, KY where I am most recently from in the States. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479083319482397950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-20511753350491023082012-03-07T15:18:39.342-08:002012-03-07T15:18:39.342-08:00Two weeks ago I came back from Houston TX, where I...Two weeks ago I came back from Houston TX, where I've spent ten days.<br />Of course, I had a long shopping list that my wife gave it to me.<br />Well, that was not so easy to achieve. With help of modern technology (Wi-Fi Internet on smart phone) and rent a car with GPS it would take me couple of hours to find one single item. Shopping malls were minimum 10 miles away from each other and finally after ten days I came back home with only ten items. I went to Walmart and Target as well and I didn’t find more products or variety there, then in one Metro, for example.Peranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-34667673456833816942012-03-07T04:15:42.918-08:002012-03-07T04:15:42.918-08:00Absolutely!

You can find those items anywhere and everywhere. . . I just miss being creative and I really miss Target too!! I can do without Walmart, but I always knew I could find what I needed immediately, and that sense of immediacy is one thing that is wrong with America. While living here, I have to train myself to enjoy the search.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17479083319482397950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971084605385986566.post-4140663817048087732012-03-06T10:08:12.518-08:002012-03-06T10:08:12.518-08:00Hi Lana,

I am sure you noticed craft is not on the list of things to do in a free time among Serbians. What we have around, are grocery stores on every corner that would always carry fresh meat, vegetables, fruit, etc contrary to The States. <br />That said, I also miss Target!La Leche Belgradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436918476982391519noreply@blogger.com
