Boomers in your country worked for $30/month for most of their life

Cooper Johnson
That's why your moral duty is to leech off them until they die and then inherit their property
Ryder Hernandez
Is it the same in Serbia?
Kevin Reed
Yeah pretty much, most young people live with their parents and grandparents even if they have a job because no one can afford a new flat on their own
Jeremiah Davis
at least you all live in big houses, not in shitty commieblock flats
Ryan Thomas
I live in a flat, not exactly commieblock though
the reason so many people live in houses is literally because of illegal construction, urban planning is non-existent and people just keep building on their own even in urban areas
Alexander Miller
>the reason so many people live in houses is literally because of illegal construction, urban planning is non-existent and people just keep building on their own even in urban areas
still better than commieblocks
Christopher Wilson
every time I see this picture I always wonder if the weather there is hot or cold. Like, my initial reaction is thinking that it might be pretty hot, because of the amount of sunlight that is shining on the kids suit, which also makes me think that the suit is probably real thick and the sun is making the black suit evn hotter, that gives me the idea. But, looking around and seeing the trees, makes me think that it’s probably in the fall. So I’m assuming it’s actually quite chilly, perhaps like a frosty morning dew chill. Maybe even a little bit of wind makes this picture a bit cold
Caleb Cooper
looks like early spring for me
Ryan Hughes
Eh, they have their own charm, depends what you get
I live in a city center where the buildings are far older and in somewhat worse condition than commieblocks, they have to be maintained constantly because of their age
Samuel Baker
old architecture looks much better than commieblocks even when it's poorly maintained
William Morgan
that's true
Gabriel Ward
>this air conditioning
that looks awful
Easton Lee
It does, sadly many old buildings like that are packed with them, i wish there was a law against mounting them on old buildings because it just looks awful and degrading but it's Serbia and no one gives a shit about the law
pic rel is the same building before restauration
Josiah Bell
nice, I didn't expect Belgrade to have such nice architecture, I thought ex-Turkish cities are rather bland and lack European architecture
Camden James
Belgrade is a city with every imaginable architectural style, Art Noveau, Art Deco, commie architecture, etc.
Older Ottoman period buildings look very nice and unique, pic related is one of them. There aren't many left
Lincoln Clark
good for you
I wish we had a nice capital too
Robert Ramirez
Haven't been to Warsaw but i've been to Krakow, it's an astonishing city
Benjamin Price
thats terrible, too bad you can't tear it down and just build a new one.
Also how do you pronounce warzawa?
Benjamin Brown
Sounds like Canada but add a zero
Ayden Hughes
>warzawa
varshava
>thats terrible, too bad you can't tear it down and just build a new one.
we would, if Germans paid us $850 billion of reparations they're legally obliged to pay but they refuse to do it
Kraków is like Zagreb or any other medium ex-Austria-Hungary town. Nothing special. Gdansk is much better. Warsaw is unfortunately totally bland and extremely "socialist-modernist".
Jeremiah Jenkins
It's weird how Warsaw skyline looks more and more like American cities
Justin Diaz
Nothing really weird, that's what pretty much every city that doesn't have the actual old town tries to look like nowadays.
Well, even cities that do have the old town follow the American way of development, just look at London, they're building like dozens of skyscrapers right now.
Cooper Ross
We have a district called New Belgrade which is basically a commie-built city just on the other side of Danube. It's all commieblocks and modern business buildings. Not skyscrapers, most of them are relatively tasteful modern buildings, but it still looks weird seeing old commieblocks and modern all-glass buildings joined together
Jonathan Jones
Nah senpai, I disagree. Here we have a shit ton of Ottoman buildings and they look like something straight out of a middle eastern village. Neoclassical architecture on the other hand looks absolutely glorious. Such a shame how much of it here got replased with commie modernism
Justin Sanders
>Here we have a shit ton of Ottoman buildings
Could you post some? I like them, there aren't many left in Belgrade which is actually sad. Pic related is the single mosque left in Belgrade, it's from the 16th century
Benjamin Brown
>if Germans paid us $850 billion of reparations they're legally obliged to pay
just curious, is this a legit figure or is it exaggerated?
Blake Hill
New Belgrade = Capitalism vs Communism
