It is known that humor brings people together, but also points out the differences between them and, more broadly, between nations.
Diary of a Serbophile
I know an old man in Belgrade who has a zet from Austria who visits Serbia frequently, maybe as often as I have, but while he’s there he rarely leaves the city.

Serbian Community
In a nearby Vancouver bar, or pub to use the appropriate English term, I chat with my friend with a drink in hand. Bit by bit he complains to me about a time when he took his son to kindergarten.
