Greetings from Pristina, Kosovo!

Its been about 6 weeks since I moved from the US to Kosovo. It's hard to imagine I've already been here that long but some moments, it feels longer than 6 weeks! All in all though, so far, so good!

Most of the population here speaks Albanian, which I am yet to learn, so its been almost comical trying to ask for things in the store. Alot of pointing and gesturing... :-) I really need to start learning! One kinda strange thing is that the milk here does not need to be refrigerated. It comes in cartons. After snapping a couple of pictures, I was told to cease and desist...

The weather here is much like the humid continental climate of upstate NY and some of the other places I've lived before. Its snowed a few times but nothing significant. Getting cold though! I suppose that is allowed since it is December after all...

Here are a few pictures of my neighborhood. The area is called Dragodan (Serbian name)/Arberia (Albanian name).
