I want to have a vacation in SRBIJA!!



I am still planning for my dream vacation, now that I am free of almost any impurity of being scared to say what I desire. I know, it may take up to two years or it depends because I have a lot to pay. In a perfect world, I could not have to deal with it totally. Nuff said.

With my pursuit of that, I am thinking of the best way to remove all the stress in my life, once I stepped on Serbian soil. There are a lot of things I would do, and hopefully I can accomplish.

Going to various churches and monasteries is my primary reason. To relax, have time with God more and have some cross or icons of the saints.

Buy a Serbian medieval costume and the flag of Serbia, so I can display it on my house and some t-shirts reading "Kosovo je Srbija!" would be great for me.

Go to historic places and try to speak some Srpski to the natives with the aid of the dictionary.

And maybe, find my dreamgirl there although it seems impossible that I can find it there.

With all said, would I make it?

Ravanica



Ravanica (Serbian Cyrillic: Раваница) is a Serbian Orthodox monastery on Kučaj mountains near Ćuprija in Central Serbia. It was built in 1375–1377 as an endowment of prince Lazar of Serbia, who is buried there. The Ravanica church is called the birthplace of the new artistic movement "Morava school" because of architectural and artistic features. It is original blend of the Mount Athos and the cross-in-square five-domed model that became standard in the time of King Milutin.

I want to go here in the mere future with my future wife. It is one honor for me to visit here. Of course i choose the name Lazar when i would be baptized in the future. I saw in this saint that he desired a heavenly kingdom than an earthly one. No one can make that desire but in our small ways, we can.

For example, i desire to have a heavenly family and even if i am not that of an angel, i will make that promise of teaching my wife and children what a true and happy family would mean. I may be idealistic but no one can deny this heavenly promise. It makes me think more of my desire to achieve what God really taught us. Humans do make mistakes but those who desire a happy family and a true Christian one would mean God is with us through every hardships we experienced.
