Meeting Pedja Djokic in Rotterdam and Brussels

Last Saturday I spent in Rotterdam, meeting Pedja Djokic, an old friend of mine. After more than a year of not seeing each other we finally managed to catch up in Rotterdam. It made us laughing a lot, simply because we were trying to meet in Serbia few times earlier this year but never made it successful… and now, we did it in Rotterdam! The time passed by pretty fast since the conversation run smoothly and there were so many topics to be covered in just one day. Focusing on conversation rather than the road we’ve been walking we even got lost [believe it or not] couple of times. The good thing about it is that we discovered some new parts of the city and its sites, mainly modern architecture (due to the fact that Rotterdam was almost totally destroyed during WW2), people and cafes.




On Tuesday Pedja returned me a visit. I took a free afternoon to show him the best of the Brussels. Since we had just few hours we went to City Centre [Grand Plaza], Manneken Pis [the symbol of Brussels, don’t ask me why, I don’t like it], the great Atomium, Chinese house, Japanese Tower, Royal Park, the Cathedral, Delirium [café with more than 2.000 different beers], famous Belgian chocolate shops, etc. Again, time just passed by as if it was just few minutes and we had to split up again till next meeting…

The thing I like the most about Pedja is that he is such a good conversationalist – good listener always asking the right questions and challenging your worldview in the same time sharing his thoughts and wisdom with you. He knows how to get it right to the point! Our meetings always result with plenty of new ideas ranging from how to make our own lives better to how to make this world a better place to be in [making the link perfectly clear]…

For the end, I was very very happy when I was told that he’s going to become a father in one of the following months… Isn’t that just great?

Love and life come in pairs: without life, love cannot come about; without love, life cannot begin.

Good luck my friend. Let the force be with you!
