I was several times in Serbia and I have visited the cities of Belgrade, Subotica, Novi Sad and Smederevo. I had such a great time with delicious food and amazing and very friendly people! I can only recommend to visit Serbia! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you for coming to my country and representing it in a good way, as it normally is. You're always welcome in my country. Thank you and may God keep you on your journey
Oteće oni nama Zemun i celu državu- pa će zarađivati koliko hoće na našim prirodnim lepotama ;ne dolaze oni đžabe tako tek, nego izviđači brale...Nigde na Zapadu stranac nije mio gost,samo ovi naši naivci se polomiše da im sve ugode...osradoše Srbi narod glup za vek vekova.
I'm thrilled to come across your video, thank you for posting! I believe you were standing one house south of 'my yard gates' on Dobanovacka Ulica, Zemun. My paternal family owned houses on both sides of that street, grandmother born in a small kitchen inside that gate, my father born across the street. Greatgrandfather owned the hill and orchards where you can see some newer houses above. It is called "Soucov Breg" (Souc's Hill). And yes, there were "lagums", very cold yearround. Greatgrandmother and daughters would store preserves, and "rakije" from the plums and apricots, almonds of the orchard. The lagums were not for us to play in, but each room had one connected on the ground level on the orchard side. A very steep dangerous set of steps connected to the top of the orchard where my brother and I and cousins played, but were cautioned not to go near the dangerous edges! Yes they did collapse and crumble, with sad incidents for some people, but not us kids. Across that same street inside the yard, beyond those gates, my Great Grandfather had a huge side of hill dug away to build a woodworking workshop as a wedding present when my Grandmother married my Granddad, a cabinetmaker. (Great Grandfather Souc was a renowned tailor with a fair workforce of talented tailors, hand embroiderers). Attached to the shop was our big bedroom and outside was a busy lumberyard with two gigantic walnut trees, and we had some amazing family parties and walnut cake bakeoffs. For 7 years my little bed was next to the shop and the machine sounds were something I woke up to every morning! It was joyful. I now can work with any extraneous noise without a problem! Re: Zemun's lagums, the city I think has a huge problem due to the type of soft soil comprising those hills. There are pockets of space which sometimes would cause streets or some houses to collapse down. (Once a coffin fell through because that cemetery (seen from Kula) is also on a hill. The street running parallel to Dobanovacka I think is the Roman Road of Taurunum, a main thoroughfare still today. We don't live there anymore but still have cousins on that street. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for Zemun! I do remember the taste of Saran....yum.
No more Zemun Republic now Zemun Village :D btw, I enjoy your videos of Serbia, Zemun is known for good fish restaurants, all freshwater fish from the Danube river. Zemun is also known for local patriotsm :)
Hi guys 👋 nice intro and lovely music , so beautiful environment at this time of season 🎄 my favorite month 👍🏻 because I love to see at the shops and restaurants , everywhere are decorated beautifully for Christmas celebration really amazing. Remind me of Singapore , I really enjoyed the Christmas decorations there , really really amazing. The food looks delicious like always , lovely historical stories by Steve so informative 👍🏻 the view of the village are superbly stunning and serene , thanks Ivana and Steve 👍🏻🥰😘
Ivana, you walked through that restaurant as though you owned the joint. Had you rehearsed that bit? Warriors, it's been an absolute joy following you through Albania, Romania and Serbia. It was great to see these parts of Europe that most people don't see so much and the places and activities we accompanied you for were very pleasing. And you were always such warm, intelligent and cheerful companions. We'll see how you go with 200 million Brazilians now.
I hope you will visit one day region Ohrid in North Macedonia :) Ohrid is also a historical place , which has a church for every day of the year(amazing number of 365)!
Zamun looks so pretty! But not as pretty as Ivana. Smooth or what, Huh? 🤣🤣 Thanks for showing this small town from above and beyond. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Esp the Christmas vibes! I love Christmas 🌲☃️
Great intro with lovely music. As always, love the History narrated by our Mr Steve. Aha, fish for lunch, yummy yummy 😋😋 A big shout-out to Malaysia, taught non fish eater Steve to love fish now...😀😀 Yeah, Christmas is in the air. Time really flies. Last year, you both were in KL, celebrated Christmas together with Ken, Greg n Jumi. Happy exploring Brazil and looking forward to your Brazil adventures. Stay safe and take care Steve lvana ❤️❤️
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022 Mr Steve and Mrs Ivana from Jet Lag Warriors. My name is Mohd Fairuz from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I hope see you again in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Lagum == Lagoon - It's not that hard or new word - and we can argue who invented the word first :) There are probably even older lagoom(n)s thereabouts, and along every waterway, including those on Danube river and shores of seas and oceans worldwide. Unlike ports, lagoons usually hosted small smuggling and pirate boats, and were safe havens for pirates. Over the time, during Romans and Ottomans, rebels would often hide from law in those caves. There is (or was, not sure) a club in old Belgrade side called Lagum (built in in a cave next to river), a bookstore Laguna, and there are so many lagums along the riverways that for sure nobody cared to chart them as tourist attraction, like every other old house along Danube has one. I think most notable are ones under Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad, where you can actually have a guided tour.
Sometimes you can say village to refer to towns in English - kind of like a township! I know village = selo (farm) in Serbian but you know how English language can be.. lol
Too bad you haven't been to northern parts, Subotica and Sombor for example, and the Iron Gates of Danube, Golubac (Lord of the Rings - like area). Maybe next time. Safe travels !
The old border of the (warring) Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires? I'm glad things have quietened down for you there now. These more northern bits of Serbia, do they seem quite quite different from Niš and Novi Pazar, which are more towards the south? If so, do you think it's in any way due to the difference in foreign intruders in the north and south or is it because of some other reason perhaps? A penny for your thoughts
They are different because Novi Pazar is more Turkish and muslim looking while the houses in Zemun look very Hungarian. The mentality of the people is mostly the same though
Zemun and almost all cities in Northern Serbia looks like the cities in Hungary or Austria.While Novi Pazar looks like cities in Albania and Bosnia since population of Novi Pazar Is majority Bosnian
Thank you, Fiz and Bjorn. I thought I sensed quite a difference between northern and southern settlements in Serbia. I'm glad I wasn't making it up. Even Ivana said she thought Novi Pazar felt to her more like being in Albania. If I might add, even the many splendid Orthodox churches in Zemun, Novi Sad and Sremski Karlovci looked more like the towered baroque churches in Austria-Hungary than the more dome-like churches we associate more with Eastern Orthodoxy. This was true too of the Serbian Orthodox church we saw in Timişoara on Steve and Ivana's first day in Romania.
The northern part of Serbia has long been under the Hazburg monarchy (later Austro-Hungary) while Southern parts of Serbia have mora Ottoman and Byzantine (Roman) feel to it. Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries exist in several architectural forms and they are all beautiful and many of them are UNESCO World heritage site. There is a Serbian indigenous "Raska style" style that represents a unique synthesis of two architectural concepts of the Middle Ages, Byzantine architecture in the East and Romanesque architecture in the West such as the Đurđevi Stupovi Monastery, Žiča Monastery, Mileseva Monastery, Morača Monastery, Sopoćani Monastery, Visoki Decani Monastery, etc. The "Byzantine-Serbian or Vardar style" is another Serbian architecture during the Middle Ages and includes the geographical area of Metohija, Kosovo and northern Macedonia. The most representative architectural monuments made in this style are: Bogorodica Ljeviska, the King's Church in Studenica, the Gracanica Monastery, the Lesnovo Monastery, etc. The Patriarchate of Peć represents a unique link between the Raska and Serbian-Byzantine style of construction. Another Serbian medieval style of construction is "Moravian style". The most important architectural monuments of the Moravian style are: Ravanica Monastery, Ljubostinja Monastery, Kalenić Monastery, Resava Monastery (Manasija) ect. And there are styles that represent a mixture of traditional styles, neoclassicism and baroque such as the monasteries of Fruska Gora (Serbian Athos), Church of Holy Martyr George in Becej (with a very beautiful iconostasis painted by Serbian famous painter Uroš Predić), St. Nicholas Cathedral in Sremski Karlovci, Church of the Holy Father Nikolaj in Zemun (one of the oldest in Belgrade), etc. And we have a small number built in the Russian architectural style, such as the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Banstol. There is also the "Crkve Brvnare (Log Cabin Churches)", a sacral building built of wood, of modest dimensions, representing works of folk architecture, which have a very interesting artistic and architectural form.
@@gerardfernon3339 Well yeah, the churches were built by the majority catholic Hungarians or Austrians but most of them belong to the Serbian Orthodox church now
Be careful with wearing a Red Star shirt in public tho, some Partizan fans can be offended. Belgrade is an extremely safe city, but wearing a Red Star or Partizan shirt is danger number one. Far more dangerous than stilling someons girlfriend.
Your claim that name of Zemun comes from word zemunica is incorrect. Zemun was named according to Slavic goddess Zemun who is the goddess of cows and bulls. Old Romans gave similar name to Zemun, they called it Taurunum which in Latin means bull.
I never heard of a goddess called Zemun. The name is probably from ZEMLJA - land. So which came first Taurunum or Zemun? Could it have been Celtic because their place names had -un at the end of words - probably it was Taurun and then the Romans added the -um like they did with SigidUN-UM. :)

I would never imagine that literally mu house would be filmed in one of your videos 😂 . I hope you guys enjoyed being here ❤️.
Imaš li tunel u dvorištu?
Love the drone shots, music and information . Food looks yummy. Beautiful decorations. Keep up the good work, keep safe, healthy and happy.
Zemun should be it's own city 😎

We say "Chorba" in Serbia, too.
Loveliest village in Belgrade.
Sorry but Zemun is not village , it is just suburb of Belgrade
Ivana said exactly that in the first minute of the video :)
Sometimes you can say village to refer to towns in English - kind of like a township! I know village = selo (farm) in Serbian but you know how English language can be.. lol
🙌🙌❤❤🇷🇸🥰
Zemun is a part of Belgrade since 1936
Too bad you haven't been to northern parts, Subotica and Sombor for example, and the Iron Gates of Danube, Golubac (Lord of the Rings - like area). Maybe next time. Safe travels !
Interesting story about the tunnels of the past, do you think it is unique to Belgrade?
maybe they hold wine into those mountain rooms.
Zemun😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
If you come in summer please send the message, it will be a pleasure tu show you something...
No Danube Delta, just Danube river in Serbia! 🤗🤗🤗
You know nothing!!!
Zemun, independent town!
zemun used to be part of croatian kingdom
From 1500 to 1700 was al turc domination also there

No Delta there.Only Danube.To be delta,must be like a triangle.
The title is disrespectful even with the explanation.
