Two Weeks in Novi Be膷ej: Life in a Small Town, Novi Becej, Serbia
On October 11th, after a two-day drive from Kiel in Germany, we rolled into Novi Be膷ej, a town home to over 13,000 people in rural northern Serbia.

I will go into detail about our project in an upcoming post, but first let me introduce you to Novi Be膷ej where I spent two weeks of my life in October.
Novi Be膷ej is聽located in the Central Banat District聽of the province of Vojvodina near the borders to Hungary and Romania. The town is home to a large population of Hungarians and a smaller but still significant population of Romani. However, Serbs make up the majority at around 60 %. The town is located on the banks of the river Tisa which begins in Ukraine and joins the Danube near the village of Stari Slankamen further south in Vojvodina.
We stayed at the guesthouse Azucki聽which is owned by a local family (and their adorable Siamese cats) in the centre of the town. Most of our evenings were spent dining at Hotel Tiski Cvet just across the road where the plata vegetariana was ordered every single evening 鈥� but never came with the same foods!
