Day Off from NYC
Striking a balance between work and play in New York doesn’t come easy. You really have to try at it. This imbalance is especially difficult for us - the Balkan kids, born in a culture where life revolves around working to live, not living to work. We are yet to be convinced that going on a strictly planned group vacation at the age of 64, is the way to do it :)
Well, to pull ourselves from our computers, we took a day off from the chaos of NYC. This is our recipe for a small getaway in search for an urgent dose of nature and escape from the constant clicking of send/receive:
- Rent a white land rover
- Burn some good music (Ben Watt, Weekend Players, …)
- Start driving towards Hamptons
- Go to the beach and walk
The trick is to go at this time of the year when the weather is still a bit cold and the beaches are empty. Highly recommended for all people who believe that balance is the way to live.

E, tu smo mi na brdovitom Balkanu uvek u prednosti. Nakon posla otrcis na novosadski Shtrand ili Ribarac, bacis se u neki hlad i uz pivo ili neku drugu rashladjenu tekucinu, sa drustvom bistris aktuelnu politiku ili sport.
