Nectar Of The Gods

[warhead]

There is a huge variety of that stuff to choose from. Serbian prices in pubs (maybe not the kafanas, that got very messy and very expensive) are perfect for Irish visitors compared to Croatia or Ljubljana. 80c for a pint of that Jelena and 2€ for a glass of the higher end Rakijas, and that's in Belgrade. Send a few of the booze hounds from here down to Nîs (a total shithole but still) with a few hundred euros for a weekend, they'll be the new Prince Lazar!

Spain is a wine lovers paradise of course, and none of that minimum price carry on. The bums here love their boxín of wine god bless them, and you can't go wrong at 70c a litre

I too prefer partying in Serbia than Croatia or Slovenia.  The prices are cheaper, and the people are more relaxed. Croatians and especially Slovenians are too uptight, generally speaking.
I love Nis buddy!! Yes, it is a total and complete fucking shithole. But the girls are great looking, everything's cheap and the small fast food bbq selling food huts are amazing. I could eat that food 3 times a day, everyday, for the rest of my life. Hhahaha, you said it well  :-) You're not just a king, but a freaking king of the kings with a couple of hundred euros in the pocket over there.
Red wine is my favorite drink, when talking about drinking without the intention to get yourself unconscious fast, and it is just one of the things I love about Spain.

Yeah if you go outside Belgrade and Novi Sad you get extremely good bang for your dinar! What did that Momo Kapur say, bringing your girlfriend to Serbia is like bringing a bottle of piss into a Rakija distillery

Serbs have a reputation but the myth and the reality are totally different, and the attitude to drinking and letting tomorrow look after tomorrow is just like us Irish. Apart from a few hooligans singing 'ubi shiptare' at the basketball and football, they just hate Vucic and UEFA   In fact, as you know, loads of Croatians come to Belgrade for the session.

Don't drink red wine in Serbia unless it's imported from France or somewhere though, get that good Apricot and plum liquid into you instead

Had to google that Momo fellow :-)
Serbia has a certain reputation, as you've said, that is just medias doing what they do best. Many things we're seeing on the tv and reading about in newspapers are different in reality(not just when it comes to Serbia, but in general).
I wasn't going over there for sessions specifically....was going for some concerts first, than at a later time was playing with my own band and then travelling with other smaller bands gigging over there. It always ended up in a blur   
Red wine in Serbia?? Didn't even knew they have that over there

I don't know if this will make you feel good or bad or nothing at all, but the most precious, sought after thing among the serb guys I know is Croatian 'pićka', they are obsessed with it, and they claim it's mutual because even Serb women can outdrink any guy from Zagreb:)

The swearing is absolutely spectacular in your language too, congratulations

Swearing is brought to another level over there. It is not even possible to explain how many bad words we have.
About the picka, well, I can fully understand that, guess there is a big feeling of victory when getting some from the other side of the border  :-)
Guys from Zagreb are mostly sissies, even the rest of Croatia are making fun of them  :-)

I'm going through Croatia for my honeymoon for a week or so in August in the way to Greece, Plitvice and Dubrovnik, maybe Split (as long as this false metal virus fucks off sufficiently in time, I guess you would say cachu ti jarca or however you say it) so if you have any hidden gems to see apart from them, please enlighten me

Ah, Greece is amazing. Plitvice and Dubrovnik are 2 out of 3 of the most beautiful places in Croatia. The third one are Slapovi Krke, near Zadar. Lokrum island near Dubrovnik is a beautiful place too, if you'll have some time to spare.
Don't forget to spend a day or 2 in Bosnia and Macedonia too, if you're on the way to Greece already.
Wish you all the luck in the world in making the trip actually happen 

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah I'm going through Bosnia, (Velika 😂) Serbia and Macedonia, not going to wreck the car on Montenegrin or, gulp, Albanian roads

Thank you for the tip, I have a month to travel starting in booooring Ljubljana because that's the airport destination so I'll fit it in.

My hopes are not particularly high though, we shall see

Yeah, Ljubljana is SO boring. But guess it is good enough to land at and rent a car to fuck off there as soon as possible  :-)
I'll think of some other places worth visiting and suggest them to you before the Summer comes.

Tis clearance so get in quick. Very nice cans

[Emphyrio]

A tasty drop alright. Had many pints in an unwelcoming aul-fella-pub pretty close to the Olympia after AiC. What I wouldn't give to be unwelcomed to a pub again.
