Frankfurt airport: ALL FULL OF LOVE

An autumn day back in 2012. It must have been early October. Minor flight delay because of mist. I am sitting and waiting the gates for my flight to open. This airport knows for a EUR 7 expensive coffee you only finish in two gulps. For citizens of developed countries this world knows it’s too expensive. However, you drink, as you only once may pass through Frankfurt airport. This is one of the largest airports in Europe. It has zones from A to Z. You need 40 minutes to reach zone B through zone A. All is organized. All is crowd. More than 10 screens showing arrivals and departures. This city knows for too many planes in the heart of Europe.

I sit patiently and await my flight. Frankfurt to Skopje through Ljubljana. It is a common route. A man is late for his flight. He misses the flight and he is rather angry. It’s because of a mistake of the airplane company. He is angry and he yells. He tells them: “You are not perfect”. I found this remark rather stupid. What is perfect in this world? He worries too much for a missed flight. To where? At this moment all I care is this song that awakes me. I recall the video and it has the same colours as the floor… white… reflecting shadows… It’s Bjork’s “All is full of love”, early in the morning, after an expensive coffee and a cigarette smoked in a cabin for smokers.

Then & Now: The Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul in Osijek

October 19, 2016 Comments (2) Views: 1768 Nostalgia , Postcards Then & Now: The Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul in Osijek Wondrously rising against the skies in Osijek, Croatia, the Co-Cathedral St Peter and Paul is a multi-tiered 90-metre spire, a red-brick neo-Gothic giant, which makes the ultimate most recognized site of Croatia’s fourth largest city. As glorious as it is, I always wanted to visit it and experience the place with my own eyes and body. This old vintage postcard reveals how the glorious Co-Cathedral dominates above the small city square back in the day… The construction of the church started during the 1890’s, as an initiative of the vibrant Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer who was based in the nearby city of Đakovo. Strossmayer certainly initiated not only a church that could serve with the capacity of 3000 people, ...

June 10, 2016 Comments Off on Time Travelling with the Navy of the Yugoslav Monarchy Views: 843 Looking Back , Nostalgia Time Travelling with the Navy of the Yugoslav Monarchy Slovenia has just 47 km coastline on the Adriatic Sea. It’s a small portion compared to neighboring Croatia and Italy, yet you will be pleasantly surprise of the places and small towns you can visit here. Piran for one is a true gem, overlooking to Trieste just next on the Italian coast, not more than 30 km. Very close also, Umago in Croatia, just hidden behind the hills. Piran comes alive on the weekends and during the summer seasons. It’s a mix of cultures, and, it’s the first and only Slovenian city so far that has a Mayor who comes from Africa. Anyway, if you happen to visit Piran, make sure you pay a visit to the local museum where you can easily spend ...

Prague – every corner keeps it’s own memory

May 20, 2016 Comments (2) Views: 1074 Looking Back , Nostalgia Prague – every corner keeps it’s own memory Ok,This is how time-travel machine should work right?  As I have never been in 12 th century before, I bite myself for reality check, standing in front of an old tower. Old, dirty tower remains there untouched to connect me with the past.  They call it the Keeper of the city. I’ve never seen such an old thing before in my life. You pass trough it and you’re on Charles Bridge  and entered 13 th century already. Five hundred sculptures waving at me and taking my full attention. V’ltava is under. The tiny raindrops on my head can’t stop me enjoying every corner in this early June morning. I go further and wait. Kafka is here. I guess I’m in the beginning of the 20 th century. Opera House with Mozzart’s sculpture. Don Giovanni was f...
