Oh yes, I forgot.
Serbs love to change the names of all their streets. They do it every decade or so.
Basically, Serbia has a few categories of problems.
1) Deeply rooted problems that wars, revolutions, border-changes, multiple regime changes have made impossible to fix. Sad, but true.
2) Problems that are fixable in the distant future, but not without a lot of pain in the short and medium term
or...... you can change all the street names.
I mean, that's doing something, right?
So, the first place I lived in, had a new street name a few years before. For some reason, the phone company started sending the bills to a different city that happened to have a street named the same as the old street name.
So, for 6 months, I had to go through the process I mentioned in the previous post - go to the phone company to get a new bill, go to the post office to pay the bill and get a receipt, go back to the phone company to pay, get the phone connected the next day.
Next month, they would deliver to the correct address.
The month after, no bill again, service gets cut off.
and again
and again
and then that "wanting to kill" feeling starts to come.
And then someone asks me, with great expectation in their eyes "How do you like Serbia?
" For some reason, the phone company started sending the bills to a different city that happened to have a street named the same as the old street name."
ReplyDeleteSorry but i don't think that is a possible because every city have postal number and guess what they are different. There are many same street names and that would happen all the time.
