>>>>>>>>>>You're bumming me out! Blueberries are one of the few healthy foods I regularly eat, and now you say they're fake.

>>>>>>>>>>One of George Carlin's classic routines was about blue food. "Where's the blue food? Don't say blueberries. They're purple."

>>>>>>>>>Bluebery juice is not that expensive here, maybe 50% more than your regular fruit juice, and it's still as good as ever. Just raw bluebery, from Takovo ("mi cedimo voće" - we squeeze the fruit, a gentle reminder from their old slogan "we don't make juices"). As close to palatal nirvana as one can get. Saw it in the US once, it cost $7/quart, and once more at an even more ridiculous price. You can get a liter for $1,50 here (or more, as the dollar is falling).

>>>>>>>>>Speaking of colors (Tracy, get some cash ready for attention), here's a building on New Belgrade, which is pretty much impossible anywhere in the US:

Also, the state run College of Economy, a building old close to a century: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2405284, closer at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/6388499.
