>>>...and also got a good source for raw milk, with over 4% of milk fat. Unlike the industrial stuff, where they skim 100% and replace it with margarine...

>>They put margarine in the white suspension in serbia? Luxury! I guess it's tar here ...

>Ouch. I hope that at least it doesn's smell/taste like pharmacy as the HVD (or whichever TLA it was) milk I tried a couple of times when they had no other, back in the US. Nobody liked that. And almost all bread smelled similarly wrong. As our poet Duško Radović said, "bakers should charge for the smell" - well, in the case of that industrial, ahem, whatever, I'd say they should pay the custo... consumers or at least apologize every day, japanese style.

>The railroad overpass, with all the eighteen-wheelers you can imagine (going down parallel to E-5 but no toll to pay) is a whole kilometer away from me, and on specially silent nights, if window is open and the breeze is right, I may hear them a bit. The roosters I don't mind.

>>Stable internet? Fast? Reliable power? Serbian language could not be a to big problem. 11 years of russian leaves a trace ... Let's move ...

>Internet is OK, I get a ten minute outage 3-4 times a year, and a whole day once a year, in june, when I forget to unplug it during a thunderstorm and the router is fried. Using my third now. The speed is getting better but not much, I guess this is the best it gets with DSL - about 8,5/0,85 Mbps (real speed - they advertise it as 10/1), it only got half cheaper than it was three years ago. I could probably get at least twice as good if I went for more expensive but it only getsme faster downloads which is irrelevant now; I need upload and it doesn't get above 2 Mbps and that's at the top price range, bundled with other stuff I don't need (like IPTV).

>I could go even better speed with cable, but the cable company 1) has bad wiring in my city, heard from insider and 2) I still can't get myself into also paying for TV which I will not use... not that I'm sorry for paying for something I don't use - I'm paying VAT and I'm not getting anything for it, so what - it's that in this case I do have a choice and I don't want to support TV such as it is with even those 7€/month. A matter of principle.

>Power's OK, also getting 30 minute outages but that's only in my area of town - 2km away not even that. I guess they are gradually fixing what was jury-rigged in the 90s, when this area was built by hundreds of very independent builders (ie. we all built our own as best we could), so just in springtime they make their rounds, fix what they can without unplugging, then do the final connections in ten minutes when we get without power. Perhaps they announce that somewhere, but I'm not buying any newspaper nor listening to even local radio - too many ads - so I just bought a good UPS.

>Language shouldn't be a problem. I had a friend from around Düsseldorf who took a 3-month course and learned it quite well - missing a lot of grammar and morphology, but got the meaning across and generally managed to communicate.

Well that sounds rather good. I do get ADSL 6000/whatever the power is more stable (but I have an UPS anyway) and the DSL/phone is disconected the same rate. We need the kids to grow up first? :)
