- These are my challenges adapting to life in Serbia.
Yes, even though Lieles have been in Europe since 2020, he still has cultural shocks.
It is crazy to see how long it takes to adapt living in a new country with different traditions and cultures. The lack of being in a rush is something that he would struggle for a long time.
Love how we all evolve and learn about others around the world.
📍We travel to Fruska Gora, visited the Holy Archangels Monastery and ate at the End of The World (Na kraj Sveta)

Just one tip for the driving in Serbia, for highway-s, buy a "tag", small piece of plastic, you can just put on your front glass of car, behind your middle mirror in the car.
You can drive 40/50km near the "station" where you paying a ticket, camera is scanning, you dont need to stop the car, you will just hear the sound from "tag" that small plastic shit and ramp (barrier) is opening and no wasting time on paying always.
Cheers buddy 🥂
@@milostaskovic4151 thank you! We got it after this trip and used it to go to stara planina and it was great. Thank you
GREAT!
I don't know about serbia but italians also like to take their time when eating out. Even in the morning they spend hours and hours an HOURS and they only drink a coffe.
Yes, it is all around the south of Europe, exactly the same in Spain, and in Turkiye. Quality of life at its max!
I guess its a medeteranean thing we also in north africa Algeria do that we drink coffee and milk in morning
Yeah as a Serb i can Say that whole south Europe/ middle east and north africa are very similar of the way how to live.
yep, especially southern part of Italy.
Yeah Italian, Spanish or Balkan cultures are very similar even tho languages are not.
Serbia is a land of rich history and old culture and serbian people live traditional to keep and respect the culture of their ancestors.People what dont know their history have no future
Bravo! Love this!
I live in Australia, born in Serbia. I love my people in Serbia, and hate politicians. Great to see you having a good time! It's a bummer that the Western world seems to have forgotten some really important stuff like family, genuine living, and looking out for one another. It's like everything's about making money, wanting more, and trying to control everything. Quite a few Western countries have turned into this kind of cold-hearted vibe that's spread to places like Serbia and other parts of the globe.
And you know what's kind of scary? Once you get caught up in the whole money and greed thing, it's a real struggle to break free. I've been down that road myself and I'm still trying to figure out how to do the right thing while dealing with all the temptations. I might be affected by it, but I'm not throwing in the towel - I'm still in the ring, fighting.
Very well said! We couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
It was hard for us to leave NYC with great jobs and a great apartment (NY standards) but we couldn't believe life was work work work and sometimes have dinner at home together.
So, after much consideration especially with finances and trying to make this lifestyle viable, we escaped.
Very hard indeed. We wish you the best and thank you so much for watching us from Australia. Keep fighting
Hey my dude, lot's of love to you from your home country of Serbia. Know that we also hate our politicians here (at least those of us with functioning brains). Hope you swing by sometime!
I'm an Australian Serb too. Definitely a loss of culture here in the western world. Too much focus on work and not enough on living life and family
I hate all politicians, not only Serbian, they are all the same sh"t, in Canada, they are even worse than our politicians...The best salvation is to go home to Serbia, at least for me and my kids. Serbia has changed a lot in the last couple of years...and Canada is sinking so fast...
@srt5490 Keep sticking to "our" traditions and lifestyle! Try picking the best from there while preserving the best from "here". As we say here in Albania: "Blood can never turn into water". Serbia runs through your veins bro 🙌
All the best to you, from a random Albanian Balkan-brother!
😅When my friend came to US as war refuge from Bosnia, he said as soon as he landed at US Airport he got tension in whole body, 10 years later he is still tense 😅😅😅😅
I can agree with his statment...but just imagine, coming from war more relaxed than living in "land of free".
After being in BiH and getting to know people in all this area, and after listening to their stories and some history; we can only imagine how hard it was during the war.
Now, we know the feeling of tension in the US, and truly it is not good for anyone's mental health. I don't think the tension ever disappears no matter how long you live there. I actually feel that once you step out of the US even if it is for a bit, then you feel the tension even stronger.
Sending you and your friend good vibes and our best wishes for a peaceful life
@@TheMamuchos Ye but Bosniak Muslims are Nato and Al Qaida allies.
It was Bosnian Serbs who had hardest in that war.
Not everything Bosniak say about war is true. Most of it is not.
@@TheMamuchos Thank you guys ❤LOVE FOR BOTH OF YOU ❤
@@tamjansan1154 learn history again
@@kinglizard3406 What history? US history of theft, pillage, genocide, slavery, continues invasive wars ...?
Moving from Michigan USA to Greece in a few months, and I always hear how European culture is more family oriented. They take their time with meals, which is entirely strange here in the States. Looking forward to getting used to it, but I'm sure I'll feel rushed only because that's what I'm used to...
Hi there! Welcome to this part of the world soon! You will find a lot of shocking things when you move here, because we have been raised in a country where we are taught the way we do things is the right way.
But, take one thing at a time, meet locals, let them show you how things are (in Greece, in your case) You will love most of the things and realize, just like I have realized "How was I able to live any other way before this?"
We hope you love Greece and get to travel around the Balkans, it is a very underrated area. Hope our videos help with information
@@iss2500 My entire family on both sides are European. I certainly don't need a pseudo-mannerism diatribe. Poland, Spain, England and Ireland...that is my ancestry, and not much has changed about them since their immigrations. My point is that here, in the USA, it is a fast culture; in Europe, it generally isn't.
"A typical American mindset". Brother, I understand you place much emphasis on CZcams vids to understand Americans. Sorry you are so far off. Perhaps educating yourself on the USA would be of some benefit.
Your use of exclamation points reminds me of small minded people on social media.
If you didn't get my original point, you're not going to get it now. I have friends in Serbia, Croatia, North Macedonia...
So no, I'm not some typical fucking American, although your condescension fits quite nicely with most people's view of Europeans in the US. Thanks for proving some stereotypes right.
Can’t go wrong with coffee to start the day. The transitions are so silky smooth. From vlog, to talking head, to voice over to vlog is so good. One of the best story telling on the platform.
Can’t be a Mamuchos episode with Maria and her wine. Holy cow you leave lunch to go to Dinner. That’s crazy. Way to close the loop.
Awww thank you Carl and family! You guys know how to make our day.
We keep learning every day to improve our story telling, such a hard code to crack. Hope we are taking you on a nice journey and hope we entertain and put a smile on people's faces.
Cheers!
Yo must visit the East Serbia ...Iron gate , Golubac fortress, Fetislam fortress, Kladovo city ... it's the best of Serbia I swear . Welcome friends
Thank you so much! That is where we rescued our cat We have to go back and explore more though because we didn't make a video of the place, we just showed our journey to Negotin and how we found Simba by Golubac fortress.
Whoah, whoah, whoah...hold on...your pets are named Nala and Simba?! That's freaking amazing!
I loved that movie/cartoon when I was a child, and I still watch it to this day with my kid.
Btw, thanks for a great video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hi there! Yes, we are in love with the lion king as well, we recently saw the live action movie, and we watch the original one very often. That's why we named them that. Happy you enjoyed the video. Your kid is lucky to watch the lion king with you ❤
Thanks for showing us this culture!
As Spaniard, I don't find it uncommon to stay at the table for that long, but after having lived in Asia for so many years, I adapted and tend to eat fast, pay and go.
I can't imagine how the kids were after that many hours home alone! 😲
I can imagine Asian cities to be like that, but even on the islands and relaxing areas? What is the rush? Where are they going? haha
The top was when Lieles and I were in Malaga and we went out with friends, we stopped for coffee at 11, then started aperitivo at 13 hrs, then lunch at 15 hrs and then copa by the beach at 17hrs until 19 hrs then we said lets go rest and we will meet up at 21 hrs for dinner. He was so puzzled hahaha He doesn't understand how Spain is a country, honestly I don't either but for different reasons.
@@TheMamuchos oh well, island life is different too!
haha that's a proper hanging out with friends! I like it!
@@LifetimeTravelmates pues nos va tocando pronto a nosotros
@@TheMamuchos you know it!
Great job brotha, glad you enjoying in my motherland.🇷🇸Greetings from Florida
Thanks 👍
Do you come here often? We have family in FL but we haven't been in the states since Dec 2020.
@@TheMamuchos I do, I come once or twice every year. I will text you when I come back next time, and show you my hometown 😁
@@ivanmilosavljevich1698 that would be awesome! Please do!
Welcome to Serbia brother and sister ❤ US is definitely traumatizing in many ways .
Thank you so much Do you live in the US? Yes, we have something clear and it's not going back to live there permanently. We have been away since February 2020 and we could not be happier. Thank you so much for watching so many of our videos, we hope you are enjoying them.
yeah, especially when they attack different countries around the world.
@alexanderaleksandar2030 especially when they attack their own afro american people too

Trinidadian and serbian couple here! We liked your visit to Trinidad and also Serbia!
Wonderful! Nice to e-meet you and thank you for watching us. Do you live in Serbia or in Trinidad? Or somewhere else?
@@TheMamuchos in Canada! Going serbia next year again!
@@pauls2613 wonderful!
Hey guys Serbia looks really cool. Yes I agree eating culture in different countries is quite different. Asia fast Europe slow and NZ AUS somewhere in between hahahaha. The house next to the water in Spain sounds amazing. Lieles, it sounds like you have a lot of work to do take care guys
Jordi was telling me how Asia is also fast and it did shock me a bit. Cultures around the world is such a fascinating subject! Can't wait to learn about AUS, NZ and Asia one day...after Lieles builds me the house
Just take it easy and try to enjoy
That's the goal thank you
Lunch lasts until dinner, dinner can last until early morning hours and you have some little breakfast with coffe.
Good coffe lasts until lunch.
It is considered so rude if someone would want to kick you out for enjoying a meal slowly, then having some friendly chat and just soaking up the positive vibes.. If you were to be interupted rudely thats an automatic invite to a fight and trust me, that waiter/manager/owner would have his ass beaten.
It is even normal for them to come politely around 1 am to remind you they are about to close in half an hour or so (and you came at 6pm for dinner and some drinks) and if you wouldnt mind switching tables to the outside garden were you can order up a few rounds and stay, if you like, until they open up again at 7am, since the garden doesnt close or lock.
I cant tell how many times I have stayed after the restourant/kafana was actually closed, just to have it opened up in the morning again and then I would be greated with the utmost respect and served breakfast.
Top notch legendary places never close and I have stayed, with a group of select friends, for 2-3 days even, usually during winter holidays. It is an amazing endurance test, being a part of such a drinking spree or perhaps a part of an older style traditional wedding that must last non stop for a minimum of 3 days.
These are some extreme examples of course, but if I am having a nice lunch with friends and I want to stay for an hour or two afterwards and chat with my friends with some rounds of drinks, perhaps some cake later on or coffe and if they would be rude and ask me to leave.. that would be some epic ass whoopin..
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing all this with us! That has to be epic, 3 days in a kafana, talking, drinking and having fun with friends.
You made us laugh with the "epic ass whoopin" hahaha. Well said!
I hope Yous had great time .
Awesome video I like the way you tell a story.
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoy it!
looove the editing guys! also, same Lieles,if I don't eat I'm super cranky lol
Food is the key to world peace, for real. Thank you so much, it means a lot to hear your feedback as you have been a rock during our YT journey.
Lieles feel very empowered with the comments as he has been taking courses and we have been learning more about story telling. We'll continue working to keep getting better.
Have called Serbia home since 2006 and love it.
Wonderful! We first came in 2020 for a month, then came back in 2021, rescued a dog and a cat and stayed here for 8 months and now we came back in May and will be here for a few more months. It is a great place to live
Watching this video between my bouts of laughter reminded me of our first meeting. Sitting at the table in Hard 8s, waiting patiently for someone to finish videoing the food. I'm thinking, "I'm starving. Will this guy hurry up?". I miss you two being close by. I'm happy to see you doing so great! Love ya Both! Our paths will cross again some day.
Oh Mark!!! WE MISS YOU, GUYS!! One of the best things about our RV life in the US was meeting you two.
We totally remember that day like if it was yesterday.
Love you both and we know we will meet up again and now with our fur babies becoming best friends too!
@@TheMamuchos, you can count on it! So many great memories. We are building toward our next adventure.
Beautiful video!!
Thank you very much!
It definitely takes a while to acclimate to another culture. Both of you are living your best lives though 🙂 That is a beautiful monastery! LOL that's awesome, long lunches. 😍 And awww, glad you guys got back to your kids.
Thank you, Vern! We are lucky ones for sure, there is a lot of work behind this awesome life, but we truly wouldnt change a thing. Thank you!
Really enjoyed watching your lovely video. Really hope you are well and having a great Friday. Many thanks from Chris and Jane ❤🎉🎉
Thanks so much Chris and Jane! Have a wonderful weekend
We left for launch at 10:30 am and now it’s 6pm, how’s that a lunch 😅
😂😂❤️❤️
ı stayed in belgrade for 4 days . to be honest ı loved it . next time ı will probably move there :)
Belgrade is awesome! The Balkans in general are amazing places and very diverse. Options for every like. We are in Dalyan currently, where we usually live half of the year since 2020.
turkey -dalyan ?@@TheMamuchos
@@GHOSTRIDER-hp8ob yes 😊 in Dalyan, Ortaca ☺️
ortaca is my hometown :)@@TheMamuchos
@@GHOSTRIDER-hp8ob what a coincidence! We have a few videos made in Dalyan, from 2 years ago and most recently we have Dalyan in the background. Soon we will have a video of our mechanic in Ortaca😊 and by Sunday or Monday we will start driving back to Belgrade...for now.
I appriciate that you said rakija the best that an american could. Respect for you!
Thank you!
Seeing you two drink so much coffee in the video made me want to go to Starbucks. 😛
Wait until you see our next video ... more coffee is coming
Appetisers (predjelo) can also just be called "meze"
Wonderful! It is easier to say meze for us. 😊❤️
I laughed my a.. off
thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it 😉😊
5:12 Appetizer/starter/entrée: Predjelo (pronounced PRED-YELL-O) kind of meaning "before food/eats" ☺. Apéritif would probably be Rakija lol.
Yes, sorry, many people don't know I (Maria) am from Spain, for us "aperitivo" is food, small tapas before lunch. I didn't mean the aperitif known in France or the USA, where it only consist of drinks. We actually made a video about "aperitivo" in Spain, since it is such an important meal for us there. If you are interested, here is the link: czcams.com/video/IYgcjibUeR0/video.html
Thank you!
You going to the forest to listen to forest sounds on laptop?
Am i missing something?
Hello, nice video! no rush take it easy hahah. Are you guys still in Serbia?
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you!
1:55 It is Ortodox church in Kovilj
I'm sorry, I meant to say that it was built as a church and then made as a monastery. I said the Catholic Church as a mistake. Once again, my apologies.
Agreed on the rushed culture in the US. We prefer hosting or gathering at friends' places in the US. Since restaurant owners don't pay their staff, waiters want you to get out as quickly as possible so so they can make money on the next customer as well. Very sad.
Indeed. Nothing like having friend over in that case.
I love you.........from Belgrade with love❤
Dont want to judge or anything, but hearing you ppl from US(theres a lot on YT), i have a feeling that you lived in a "clear glass cage" there. Its like your "forefathers" build you a world inside USA, ...so you forgot theres whole planet outside;). Im glad u managed to wake up. Love an kisses!!
Thank you for saying it in a gentle way but it's true we are idiots lol. There is so much brainwashing in U.S. media and we also don't get enough vacation days to go and learn about the world, so we stay ignorant. My conspiracy theory mind believes it's just part of the system. If it wasn't for Maria I would still be stuck in that delusion. I'm happy I woke up as well but I'm also angry that I've been missing out on this all this time 😂.
Well done guys..coffee and rakija at the breakfast too sometimes in serbia😂🤪 shoot out to Major Payne! Love that Movie 😊 enjoy it in Serbia
Thank you Milan
hvala Bogu pa smo jos normalni, ocigledno da nismo svesni tog, dok ne vidi ovako nesto.
I wish you a lot of fun in Serbia, enjoy the time. if you need an overnight stay near Kragujevac then get in touch. you are welcome.
Thank you so much!!! We will share on the community wall when we plan to travel there! We will be here for another 6 months or so. Thank you!
Баш лепо да виде американци како је лепа, мирна и духовита наша србија. Србија има велику историју, превише муке су прошли српски народ. Зато смо весели, јаки и ипак добар народ.

Well, the Americans got it all wrong, I mean, the meaning of life, a way of living it...this is the right way...Serbian way :)
😊😉
You can buy I thing for the car, ENP, so you pay electronically tolls, so there is no more lines. Its cheap and efficient. You can find it at petrol stations on the highway.
Yes! Thank you! We got it! It was very helpful going to Stara Planina this past week.
@@TheMamuchos awesome, helps you keep your poise.
@@donmilosh Yes absolutely
serbians are best in world
I like and understand your confusion! When I moved to USA, long time ago I always asked myself “why and where those people running all the time.” Now when I go back to Serbia I’m thinking “all they do is eating and drinking rakija.” Probably somewhere in the middle is Goldilocks zone.
My wife said the same thing when she first moved to the US, and she always said that the one thing she missed from Spain was the pace of life as it affects people interactions. But then whenever we are back in Spain, she keeps complaining about how slow people is and how everything takes so long 😂 So, yes prob in the Goldilocks zone. How often do you get to come back?
@@TheMamuchos I go usually every year . Covid screwed me for two years. But visited last year, this year and have plans to go next again
@@picaso1509 it's wonderful that you get to come every year. My wife had to go to Spain every year to visit when we lived in the states. It was her way of recharging.

Thank you!!
But if you go to country side/villages, they don't have all day to eat lunch. When you working on your land/farming, you work all day. You do have a mini siesta during summer days when its too hot be outdoors but mostly you tend to your land and anymals. It is not all like that in Serbia. People still work but they also spent lot of time oudoors, with their kids and friends. Socialising is a big thing in Serbia. I just came back from visitig. Spent 2 months being back home. I found i was borred at times doing nothing. In Australia i have to make plans to see friends or family. Work, work, work is our lifes in the Western world. No Socialising with neighbours like they do in Serbia. I dont even know who my neighbours are in Australia.
It is sad to see develop countries going more and more to the isolation. It is proven that socializing helps with longevity and happiness.
In Spain, we still have socialization as a top priority, but it surely happens less and less in bigger cities. Thanks for sharing! And hope you can create a bit more of that where you are in Australia.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice job😊
greetings and I wish you a lot of enjoyment, otherwise for the highway I mean ramps, you can buy a Tag device at gas stations, it is valid for Serbia, Macedonia and I am thinking of Greece and Croatia in the future, just pass the ramp, all the best...
Yes, we got the ENP, happy we did, we had another crazy line going down to Stara Planina, but this time we got to avoid it and went through the Tag line in no time.
Hi, respect 👍,of course if You Always work,Always be tired.😂
Always 😂 Thank you!
That was never a Catholic church, it's an Orthodox monastery
Welcome to Serbia. 💖
Thank you!
Oh friend...generally speaking Serbian people like to take their time with things, a saying "Tiha voda breg roni" (translated to something aproximating slow and steady wins the race) is something many of us try to apply to every part of our life, i can imagine it being impossible to switch to that sort of mentality if you are coming from a place where its busy and crowded and the interest of the business or people in general is to get from A to B or to get that thing done, but you really need to put effort into it and try to slow it down,you deserve to enjoy every momment of your life.
Enjoy yourself,enjoy being there with ur family,enjoy the momments you create together because in the end thats the only thing that will matter,welcome to Serbia and hope you have a wonderful time.
Thank you, you are absolutely right. I value more time now than I did before. I don't think I can go back to live in the US after being outside the rat race for 5 years. Hopefully I get to adjust more and more and leave that crazy mentality behind.
@@TheMamuchos if you surround yourself with the right people and atmosphere,it becomes a question of when,not if. Seems to me you have everything you need,just some patience is needed now =)
I am always afraid to drive a car in a foreign country.
Why is that? Let us know your questions and concerns and maybe we can make a video about it to answer some of your questions.
Lieles has driven cars and our previous van in Serbia, Croatia, Spain, Turkiye, France, Italy, Slovenia, BiH, Trinidad, Panama... and we did RV life across the US, plus he was a truck driver. So, if there is anything we can help, let us know.
@@TheMamuchos Biggest worry is getting into an accident. What happens? What do you do? How does insurance work in such situations? If it is serious enough, it causes me missing my flight home.

1:54 hearing that it is "catholic church" caused my brain to bleed a little.
Sorry for causing you the bleeding 😶 my apologies.
I meant to say it was built as a church, but I said it was built as catholic church instead, because I associated the Austrian empire as a roman catholic empire to the construction of the building.
Thank you 😉
This is ortodox not catholic church
I'm sorry, I meant to say that it was built as a church and then made as a monastery. I said the Catholic Church as a mistake. Once again, my apologies.
RIP Arkanj ("At the end of the World" place), it's breathtaking forest surroundings got cleared pretty well by local monastery, and you can't even enjoy rowing a boat anymore. It's been heavily commercialized and pure nature ruined for just another village/messuage attraction. Laaaamee! Yeah, about the day tho, it pretty much evolves around eating or drinking or both, and just chilling (for people who can afford it). :)
Thank you for all the info about the place, sorry it has gone downhill from what it was before.
"I am not a fan of touching anything bigger than me" lol
😂😂 Typical Lieles' sentence
Relax bro.... time is of no essence in the Balkans.!
He is learning that slowly but surely. Thanks!
In Serbia we are still genuine Humans. That's why NATO bombed us for months killing us and our children. Jet, all Americans are welcome in Serbia, come and have a Peace of life ❤️
Thank you for being welcoming! We feel welcomed and accepted as humans, and that is a wonderful gift for us, even though a lot of people may take it for granted

Why would you kick your customer out? You could get kicked out maybe after half an hour of not spending and you finished, but no one does it here. There is some tolerance toward customer but only if you respect that it is still possible to get kicked brother if someone abuses that tolerance and sits way too long without spending.
When they said kids
And i saw an animal
Wtf
My brain no work
calling animals your kids is disgusting, the american way.
My cats are my babies, ask any pet owners. Pets are just like kids, you obviously had no pets.
@@frostflower5555 I had pets so you can ask me. Pets are animals and you are much more than an animal so stop calling them your children.
GREAT!
Thank you!
dole za mrtve gore za zive kaze se dead and ALIVE
calling pets "kids" is really weird, to say the least...
Can you please tell me why? I mean no offense as I am truly interested in your perspective.
Maria and I both have children that have already grown up and moved out of the house. The only difference between them and our "pets" is species. We communicate with both as best we can which can sometimes feel like you are talking to a wall or teenagers. We feed them, provide a home, schooling (training), medical, and insurance. If either does something bad we are responsible for them.
So if you can, please help me understand why that is weird because I find that perception weird in itself, especially when calling a car or Xbox "your baby" is acceptable. Later bro 😁
@@TheMamuchos The short answer would be - it's lame.
The longer one would have to dive deeper into human psychology, modern life, western world's loss of compas, and degrading human life by equaling it with animals... what more, often puting animal before human life.
I consider myself to be an old scholl Serbian, aware of the fact that we have been infected with western consumerism and conformist lifestyles, often pathetic way of looking at life and relationships, misunderstanding of what love is and where it should be directed... no intention of being offensive, just honest.
Don't want to ruin your otherwise interesting video, this just poked my ears.
Later bro
Wow! That is an awesome perspective I have never heard before. I agree that the western side of world has a moral compass issue lol.
However, I don't see it as putting an animal before a human. I don't believe one has more or less value than the other. A life is a life and it should be cherished. But, through your logic shouldn't the animal come before the human as they were here first? Or, because we hold a higher intellect we are the superior species and thus more valuable?
But that thought process would also be considered western or should I say American, which is why I left that country.
Seriously, thank you for taking the time to chat with me about this. I don't mean any offense. I love learning and trying to understand different opinions and insights. Doesn't mean we have to agree with each other but it's cool 😎 to be able to talk about differences of opinions without being malicious to one another. If you are ever in Belgrade would love to get a drink together 😁
@@TheMamuchos There is so much that can be said on this subject, and my really short observation can be missleading to some. The point is that everything has it's place.
Again, interesting video, keep up the good work, here is a thumbs up! 👍
My cats are my babies. You obviously didn't have any pets. They are just like kids. Not sure why it's weird?
A catholic church?? It's ORTHODOX!!
way are you complaining all the time just relax
U HAD rakia and u are driving? 😂 be careful
No, neither Maria or Ana drive.
One rakija is just medicine for cholesterol and circulation . Won't do harm driving.
@@tamjansan1154 During our stay in Stara Planina Lieles got to have some rakija as he wasn't driving. He is not a big drinker so we have to convince him to try it or have a sweet liquor for him lol
@@TheMamuchos 😅 that is rare
@@tamjansan1154 hahaha he's always been like that.
American 😂😂😂
Africans will loudly laugh and make a fun of this punk.
Ја помислих да заиста имају децу..цццц
Имамо троје деце у САД, 18, 25 и 27 година. Не намећемо никоме свој начин живота, али нећемо мењати ко смо јер други мисле другачије.
@@TheMamuchos Наравно да нико никоме не намеће начин живота,али кучићима бити мама и тата..а имате своју децу..Све најбоље!
Za putarinu uzmi ENP i nećeš više da se nerviraš
Tačno! Kupili smo ga odmah nakon ovog putovanja. Divno je! Hvala vam!
African, not American
This man sayin that we start with rakija. We dont start our day with rakia. Either yogurt or cofeee
Само научите како се понаша када улазите у православне манастире или у цркву.Мало више поштовања,није вам то кафана.Још причаш како не верујете ни у шта.Више него безобразно.
@@Brave2standalone Зашто мислиш тако брале?
@@Brave2standalone Шта би шабане?
Bye the way it is rude to say you are slave to serbian .see "данак у крви" then you will leave race/black card somewhere else..
Rude ?! Never heard of it. We say it all the time. Both our people were enslaved and that is why our black brothers and sisters and us understand eachother....
His comment though had nothing to do with real slaver but is same as we say "Radim ko rob" "Nisam ti ja rob da radim bez pauze za ručak"....
@@tamjansan1154 doesnt matter..it Is rude and antproductive and it Is mostly USA thing cause of masa Media issues ect..nobody will drop Hammer on your head for it .but it bs..but whatever
Wtf are you even talking about?!?!?! 🤦🏼
But Serbs dont like chocolate faces 😮
Wrong. They don't like morons like you.
U are an idiot and racist shame of u!!!
Ne lupetaj
But Africans in Africa don't like white faces to see in Africa
You know when you will get as white person in Africa citizenship, never.
Jfc 🤦🏼 Imagine commenting on a country you know nothing about 🤦🏼
In Serbia and Balkan no one will treat you as a black but as a man.
That is correct and one of the main reasons why we love this area so much. Thank you for your comment
You shouldnt drink and drive
Neither Maria or Ana drive. We, the guys didn't drink. We are responsible adults.
@@TheMamuchos relax man, you are not in USA. I only wanted to see reaction because you said you are going for coffee and rakija while you were driving! I think that 1 rakija will not be an issue
🤣🤣🤣....The U.S. is too traumatizing. I'm still learning to relax, but I think more Rakija will help 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheMamuchos 100% but not too much
also, you must chose your favorite rakija for 120% relaxation
Damn Americans
What serbian culture ?! 🏳🌈🏳⚧
American struggling with any culture....
200 years old acultural "nation" trying to understand something,nah....
To je PRAVOSLAVNA crkva a ne katolicka SRBIJA nema veze sa katolicizmom tako ubuduce malo se informis nije SRBIJA ono sto vidis na zapadnim midijima pa i vi gurate propagadu lazi
Izvinjavam se, hteo sam da kažem da je sagrađena kao crkva, a zatim napravljena kao manastir. Rekao sam katolička crkva kao greška. Još jednom, moje izvinjenje. Hvala!
@@TheMamuchos kad bi svi bili kao vi da prihvate kritiku i da se izvinu svjet bi bijo RAJ 👏👏👏
@@zeljkoracic3522 Moramo biti dovoljno zreli da znamo da ne znamo sve, spoznajom i prihvaćanjem svi griješimo, idemo dalje. Hvala još jednom prijatelju!
@@TheMamuchos zivi i zdravi bili 👍♥️
Jesi siguran da srbija nema veze sa katolicizmom, pa stefan nemanja je krsten kao katolik, da bi njegov sin sveti sava osnovao spc.Nama je katolik fakticki uveo pravoslavlje 😆
