Today the weather does not please us, it has been raining in the morning, the whole sky is in clouds, a cold wind is blowing - in general, a bad owner will not kick the dog out of the house. We decided that it would be nice to spend the day under the roof, in some shopping center ... as we did in Russia, but so far we have not seen such ones here. We called our friends - they sent us to Podgorica - they say there is everything there - even cinemas! The distance from Kotor is small by Russian standards, approx. 90 kilometers, but taking into account the serpentines and with my speeds (I've only been driving for a month), we arrived somewhere in 2 hours 🙂
Here comes Delta City!
While we were drinking coffee, we connected with our parents on Skype. They really enjoy video calls (–) so they can see everything from our perspective. The shopping center in Podgorica was a pleasant surprise. Among Russian expats, there's a common misconception that Montenegro lacks shopping opportunities. I hasten to disprove this! Two floors house everyone's favorite brands: Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Geox, Intimissimi... The upper level features high-end brands such as Armani, Hugo Boss, ICEberg, D&G, and others. Old collections are very well discounted, and the new – collections are truly new, not last year's throwaways (we compared the selection of some Italian brands with Italy, from which we returned a couple of weeks ago). The prices are European, meaning they're significantly lower than those in Moscow. We picked up some cool clothes at attractive prices 🙂 Delta City actually does have a movie theater, even with multiple screens. We asked what language the movies were shown in, and it turned out to be English with Serbian subtitles. It's a small thing, but a nice touch (for now, English is closer and more familiar to us 🙂 ). I think the day was a success; I don't worry about clothes anymore, and I think we'll find more shopping centers like this in Montenegro.
By the way, happy International Women's Day to all the ladies! Montenegro also celebrates March 8th, a legacy of socialist Yugoslavia, although they made it a working day. As in Russia, this is the best day of the year for flower shop owners; every girl and woman deserves at least a bouquet of mimosas, which grow literally on every corner here. Music was playing unusually late at a nearby café.
