Today, when I become a pioneer...

An Ex-Yugoslavia topic. When I was in first grade of a primary school, age 7, I have passed the Communist Pioneer oath. (Pioneer is a term denoting a kid from 7 to 14 year old in communist Yugoslavia). I still know the oath by heart ,and I remembered it when I got this ex-yu photo in some email-fun-stuff chain.SO this is how communist offspring was cultivated:

"Today when I become a pioneer,
I give my honest pioneer promise,
that I will diligently study and work
and be a good friend;
That I will love our people-run Socialist Federate Republic of Yugoslavia,
that I will cherish brotherhood and equality;
That I will admire all the people in the world
striving for freedom and peace "

I was wearing a red scarf, blue cap with red star...
How surreal those memories appear

Day and Night in Theater - today in Belgrade

Nice "campaign" indeed, almost all Belgrade theaters are celebrating its Day (International Theater Day or something like that) by cool prices (each play 3 euros only) and a program full of theater plays from 11h in the morning till 00:00 tonight.

Ooo it was/is quite a jam... the best shows are of course sold out in the first five mins and the people are queuing as if they "are waiting for bread". I can't help but to participate this (snobbish ??) cultural event: got my self a ticket for a cult play A Flea in the Ear for afternoon, and based on a cult TV series The Boy That Promises at midnight.

:) pitty they are in Serbian, cause I honestly believe our theater and actors are excellent ..and also hillarious...
