I forgot......Yugoslavia (when it *was* Yugoslavia) both Novograd and Belgrad, in the good ol' communist days. Now *that* was a really strange trip! The shops were nearly empty, no 'luxury' items to be found anywhere, even in the parks the kids were subdued and not running around noisy like you'd think. People didn't make eye contact and if they did, it was furtive. But the food was great and once you got the locals to open up (behind closed doors), they were so friendly and neat! I seriously doubt if I'd recognize the place now, tho.
