Anyway, I thought you said you're going to Ireland this year?
Ireland was the alternative, and the reason why I was so keen on making the Balkan trip happen

I still believe visiting Serbia is important, even though there may not be any direct marks of the conflict. Allowing the students to see what the place actually looks like has value in my opinion. Still, the most important thing is to give them the "Serbian perspective", so finding the perfect guy to talk to is a priority. I have 7 months-ish to do that though, so I'm not that worried about it...

Also: screw trees and water, they have beer.
