3 Reasons Why You Should Visit Nikola Tesla Museum

April 14, 2017June 19, 2023 by serbindubai Comment Closed

Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in a small village named Smiljan. Since his childhood, he expressed great interest in science and, despite some opposition from his parents, he enrolled studies in Graz, where he studied all day long (except for only 4 hours he used to spend sleeping). He travelled through Europe, he also studied in Prague, he worked in Maribor, Budapest, Paris, and Strasbourg, and in 1884 he went overseas, to the United States, where he, with short breaks, remained his entire life and accomplished things so revolutionary and futuristic that, even today, we can't understand the complete range of his greatness. Writing about his inventions here would be totally inappropriate, not just because we would need like a year for that, but also because there is this beautiful and humoristic comic story about Tesla which made a lot of people explore Tesla's work and life: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla. We'll just stick to that that Tesla is probably the greatest...

Gifts you need to bring from Serbia

Tuuuuuuuuuuu, tuuuuuuuuuuuu, tuuuuuuuuuuuuu SiD: Hello. Mom: Hi SiD, mama here, I don't know whats you plan for April but put it on hold I am bringing sarma. SiD: But mom I have to do work and have some plans and ...... Mom: I don't care. Clean your house I am coming. How many of you had a similar situation? How many of you are forced to inflate airbed without any question? I got you, bro. Been there done that. Guests, the most favorite kind of people in the world, like to "from time to time" destroy your daily routine. There are no many way outs, especially if they are your family. In Serbia, we say "for every guest 3 days is enough". In Dubai that doesn't work. Let's be honest, we love our friends and family but going on Desert Safari for a 5th time becoming a bit annoying.

Reviewing Balkan brunch

March 19, 2017June 19, 2023 by serbindubai Comment Closed

Reviewing Balkan Brunch Last Friday Serb in Dubai was invited to be a part of a tasty event called Balkan Brunch. Since Serb in Dubai is a huge fan of domestic food and atmosphere, it wasn't so hard to convince him on this step. The event started at 3 pm and from the beginning, it was obvious that the organizers of this event took care of everything. Opposite other restaurants, Balkan brunch accepts families with kids, and guess what? They have a free entrance. It was lovely to see youngsters enjoying various food from a Balkan kitchen. Speaking of the food, the hosts of this event brought chefs from our region so the taste was so delicious like my grandmother made it. There was also a vegetarian section. It is necessary to mention that there was a live performance where the singer made us feel like in Kafana. Funnily enough, the hosts took care even about the table covers and the...

Words you need to know in Dubai!!!

January 18, 2017September 28, 2022 by serbindubai Comment Closed

My father used to say: "Speak Serbian so everyone can understand you". Although it might work "u Bec" or Mönchengladbach, in UAE it's a different case. Dubai is a home of 100+ various nationalities. Most of them eat biryani so knowing Arabic will not make much difference. English is the first language, but knowing English will not make you better than others. (Having their passport will do). So in order to adapt quickly, this is a set of words you need to know before coming in Dubai. Top 10 Words you need to know before you come in Dubai!!! Yalla (Arabic) - or "come on". Sometimes goes in couple with Habibi. Commonly used when you are in hurry or parked in the wrong zone and waiting for your friend to buy shawarma. Inshallah (Arabic) - Be careful with this word. Even after 2 years still not sure should i believe people who use this one. Should stand for "If God allows" but in reality is more like "Sredicemo nesto" or...

That one can be seen in 50% of nowadays Serbian singers' videos. The one which brings goose-bombs on your skin when you check it on YouTube and one which appears in most Instagram photos with the hashtag #richkidsofinstagram. These and many other things are the reasons why everyone wants to come and visit this awesome place. All you need is one kidney less and a FlyDubai promotion ticket. These and many other things are the reasons why everyone wants to come and visit this awesome place. All you need is one kidney less and a FlyDubai promotion ticket. Like in Vienna or Dusseldorf, everyone in Serbia has someone in Dubai, so better to sleep at his place (along with his fellows from Egypt and Morocco) and use him as your private tour guide.

Interview with SerbInDubai

December 17, 2016September 28, 2022 by serbindubai Comment Closed

Interview with SerbInDubai Hi, friends i just did an interview, 3 months ago I started this project called SerbinDubai in order to help Serbs and other nationalities to adapt to life in Dubai. During this period I noticed that with every single article our fan base increased. People started to recognize "Dragisa" and I am very grateful for that. Also, somewhere in between one portal notice our work and suggested creating a short video about us (SerbInDubai and me). This portal name is NasBiro and they make awesome stories about people who got the courage to come here and do something with their life (and much more cool stuff - check them out). Currently, an interview we made is in Serbian language but in the future, we will try to make subtitles for our foreign supporters. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9GVZsc1_KA ...

Most used abbreviations in Dubai!!!

December 10, 2016September 28, 2022 by serbindubai Comment Closed

Living in IMPZ but working in DIC Usual start of a conversation with someone you meet for the first time and you want to be a smart-ass. Serb in Dubai likes to be a smart-ass and that's why he dedicated this article to you. Abbreviations are a common thing in a language of Dubaians. You can easily crack how long they stay in Dubai by their ABB knowledge. " Hi man let's meet at DFC next to R-C*". Expats who spent less than 1 year will probably think about your bad pronunciation of K and prepare their stomach for delicious Zinger Twister Meal. But the real deal is who still eat in KFC when Kulcha King opened new branches all over the city. So to avoid confusion, Serb in Dubai will reveal the formula for you. Abbreviations formula D - believe it or not, it stands for Dubai. But, if to you girls someone suggests meeting D on Tinder trust me it is not Dubai. I - usually stands for...

Welcome to Dubai nightlife !!!! Welcome to Dubai, new readers!! In this article, Serb in Dubai will lead you through the points you should know before stepping up your game into the wild nightlife of Dubai. Brace your wallets and enjoy the ride(only up til 3 am). First and foremost, the essential part is to prepare yourself mentally. It is not an easy decision. This decision you will remember for a long time. Let’s imagine going out in Dubai is like a global recession. Basically, you will feel the consequences long after (when you check the statement from your bank account). If you are a Serb or some other member of a former Balkan community and you prolong “It is only one life rule” let God helps you. This rule doesn't work in Dubai because you don't have Baba at home to feed you if you spend all your money. (Disclaimer for other nationalities - Balkan region is famous for spending more than they earn on party...
