Corruption

Here I am on a plane headed to Belgrade. Behind me one Serbian man and a Armenian lady start conversation. What a better topic to kick off chat than with corruption issues. Man tells her what he encountered when he was awaiting flight in Moscow. Apparently lady at the counter asked him for bribe when he needed a wheelchair to use it around the airport as he was recovering from a medical operation at the time. On the other side Chinese looking lady tells him about police asking her for bribe in her homeland. They go on and on about corruption. What a beautiful way to connect people. I think they were slowly getting in love while we were getting closer to Belgrade.

Back in Serbia I continued with in-hurry lifestyle not giving myself enough time to take a rest. Gosh I have to plan that weekend mountain getaway.
