Free How To Build A Beach Buggy

Last days in Serbia - my learning about business and culture

So here is it. 2 monts are over and I am about to leave Serbia – again with lots of learning and new experience:

Culture

People – nice and helpful. The best is to find smart people who will help you to understand the culture (Thanks a tones Vlada and Sandra)
  • History – Turks till 19th century. Tito. Milosevic. War in 1999. Murder of prime minister in 2003. Montenegro bye bye from Serbia in referendum last year. Kosovo question – still somebody who does not let Serbian`s sleep.
  • Kosovo - you still have to have permision to go there. Anyway you would not. Anybody goes there unless they have still some family relatives there. Albanians bought almost everthing during last years and Serbians do not have almost any rights there. It is dangerous for Serbian people to be there, to travel trough Kosovo and as it seems there is no way back to have Kosovo as real part of Serbia.
  • Sea. Serbia "lost" sea by "loosing" Montenegro. Nobody cares. Opusteno.
  • Living standards. Nobody cares. Yet. People are happy to work and earn money – 300 – 500 Eur – normal salary. Renting a flat in 300 000 city – 200 eur. People will start to take care about living standard in about 5-10 years I think. Today it is enough just to go to the work, back, sometimes out to kafanas and bars and sleep during the weekend. And have summer holiday.
  • Kafana – best place in the evening. Outside, live band music that everybody knows.
    Environment – lets talk about something somebody built in the past and now nobody cares so much.
  • Sport – Tenis in time of US open (my honour to Serbian players)
  • Serbia is in Balkan and those of you who know Balkan have to love it. Relax, no hurry. Exactly this is mirrored also in business.



  • Business (case of the big company)

    • Still mind of “state-owned company” even it was privatized – you CAN leave at 4pm. There is NOBODY staying after 4.
    • To make a list of customers (kind of CRM) or to have HR department is luxury – does not bring a money so why to have it?
    • Things are more promised then delivered (“you can not say NO to customer” attitude)
    • If company is not known – not easy to cooperate with potential customers without previous experience of some of their friends
    • Aluminum business - hard but the potential for future
    • You can not sell without knowing and trusting the product you sell (invest your time into get to know every small detail of product you will be selling and build the trust into the product first)

      THANK YOU SERBIA, NISSA and AIESEC in NIS for making my life richer!

    This year, the third, fourth yet to be waiting - A little gap to my age (I'm always the youngest nenadarmo each of the last celebrations), but to my surprise, even the older generation does not lag behind in celebration of wildness.

    Cesky raj za 1 den - priklad ceskej turistiky?



    Czech nature ala Cesky raj Sedmihorky cast in one day ... tourists to Wenceslas Square, nicely marked trails, hiking lightweight sidewalk, a little it peels off there - it will probably be the fact that it is piestkovec. Pub with beer, sausages and Kofola ceste.Pekne ... for a family with small children and 30tnikov who need to jump on the rocks outside route;) (I know why growled so many tourists in the Czech Tatras - in backurkach each route tribute to overcome neda ;))).

    Na Kralovej Holi, stoji strom zeleny?

    IMAGINE: 2 months of practice and the obligatory 2 weeks summer vacation! - But I do not I lucky? (Not that those 2 weeks would certainly bring a lot of learning, but nevertheless, rest is fine).

    So I decided to spend these 2 weeks my dovci walking home after my chest, parties, weddings and the like.

    The first week it appeared as follows: Švica - bachelorette Tomas Kubicka and Peti Belovskej in Brestku with the participation of 150 people, fine Moravian slivovicky, vinca, cimbalon and football - the first time we had a chance to know any info via the web ready young parents - tweaks, what? Have a look at: tomasapetra.tym.cz

    sound snooze after we already moved into the Milou direction Kralova Hola - walk up to 3.5 hours of Telgart after Green (hold a lot of raspberries along the way you shaved off his half hour). As the song sings: "the Queen of green tree standing stick ...." as you see from the photos there is no tilted. In the top book even one Czech tourist nicely described by: "So we clambered finally here, but the green tree, what you promised us, that we never found much ... you are our tiller .... Or second comment related to the frequent changes of weather at the top: "I was about here so long, and I was here and when I finally climbed I'm already finally here, so I see shit ".... hold weather favors the ready, and we also we have experienced at the top of a smaller storm, but the jacket did not mind us and so we had unimpeded descent down the red. Our car had all 4 wheels and thus did not confirm my father's warnings - careful "ciernavu" juhoslovenskych in villages, do not even know You got a wheel. So recommendation: Slovaks (mainly those of social club) are still holy - Park at the church;).

    The next day we made big NIC-uf, so it is art, you poviem.A so we took Chalupka after my great-grandfather in Tisovec where we ponachadzali books from 1846 - when it gets into the hands of such material - the fun;).

    The march followed a Zádielska canyon, tour of the castle Krasna Bitter and dinner in a local Gombasecká cradle and view the cave.

    way back we visited the Miss Kovacs, which is "economically efficient" prepared to negotiate the statesmen of public economics (read: no what I would Minal 4 weeks, and when do I play for 2;).

    And we spent the weekend in the "sefikovej 'wedding - the former boss David Milov Everest Fojtik was finally lation in 35 years - 130 people celebrated tuto udalost vo ValMeze.

    Most asked questions about Slovakia and Czech Republic...

    By preparation for the internship you think you do not have to do one thing. Know more about your own country. I realized how I am bad about these things. So whoever is going whereever please be prepared for these kind of questions:

    * What are the best products from your country?
    ** What are the biggest check and slovak companies (without international element)
    *** Why your countries were divided without referendum?
    **** Why are you not still in Schenhgen?
    ***** What is your religion?
    ****** Have you been som abroad? (min. 45% of serbian students were never abroad)

    Perlicky na zaver:
    ** Which czech brands you have in cigarets market?
    * How many letter you have in your alphabet? That many? - why you have "ova" in the end of every girls name? What you have long a, e, i, o....

    What Receivers Are Compatible With Bose 901

    Some of AHA moments in Serbia

    So, here they are - cultural challenges even in Serbia for me:

    *** put your bag on the floor and you will be always asked to put it on the chair. Reason: bag on the floor means no money for you ;)

    *** NIS has no bus schedule . My bus to work goes every 20 min - I already learned this. But no bus schedule was big surprise for me in India and here I was told: Hey, Eva, you are not in Beograde, come on! (...or Serbians are so environment friendly so they do not print bus schedules to protect the nature;)

    *** every beginning of the news is about entering of Serbia to EU or Kosovo - first news are similiar to Slovak or Czech news some years ago ;)...I told them: after you join EU, all of the talks will be about EURO ;)

    *** Serbians won FIBA ;)

    Sending Email To Employer After Interview

    Working in NISSAL...



    So, here I work. For 2 months, till 10th of September. NISSAL - the largest company and leader in production of aluminium and aluminium alloys. Yes, exactly - whole week I had to learn what it means, that AW2007= AlCuMgPb, that there is big competition in business of profiles, market with bars is stable. Bars, tubes, extruders, alloys...what a business man.Interesting though. I am first intern in the company. Only foreigner among 600 employees. Working from 10am - 4pm - what a time in comp. with MCP`s 12 hours (I am even having time for swimming in the morning now!)


    I am working in Export Department. With other 4 colleagues. My job is to expand market of aluminium profiles to Czech Republic and Slovakia and to find potential dealers....of aluminium scrap. Little bit of pricing and feedback of selling materials. Even it is similiar to TN selling I am learning everything from the beginning. Once you learn how business is working in aluminium you will know how to deal with any business (use to say my colleagues) This is the Export manager Tamara.

    Visiting Beograde...

    2,5 milion people city. In last 2070 years 40 times bombarded. 2 big rivers, no metro. Rolling Stones concert - 50 000 visitors, 14.7.2007.

    My view of Beograde (Belgrade in english). Depends: If you have people to lead you trough really nice parts or if you just travel across the city to Macedonia....


    I had the luck to have Vlada and Sandra - MCPs from Nis as great guides - we visited ZOO, some parks and old town of the city on the other side of the river (while I was listening to stories about Balkan culture, conflicts and stories from near history - so important for me to understand all of the things happening here...from some point of view.

    Living and eating in Nis...

    The most 2 important things for the beginning of every internship - Living and eating.

    Living. Whole flat only for me in almost biggest building in 300 000-people-city Nis. 17th floor. Great view, owner is not there for 97.5% of the time. Serbian channels only - does not matter. Many ants - does not matter. After 4 years I AM LIVING ALONE . Enjoying it a lot, too much sometimes (it means sleeping during afternoon and reading book - finaly I can read non-HR-or-Balanced Scorecared-connected book ;) - Segal: Gentlemen from Harward).
    And here is the view from my balcony:



    E ating . Burek and Pita - you have to come and try this ! Oh man especially with joghurt!
    Plazma - similar to piskoty but more cool ;). Pleskavica (no clue about spelling) - proclimed as "better hamburger", actually ham part. Lot of meet.

    Coming to Serbia


    My first 7 days in Serbia. Highlights of the week: visit of Belegrade, lost in the city, company introduction and visit of the factory. Here is the story of the Beginning:

    I came to Beograde at half past 4 am (2,5 h earlier than scheduled). After a moment I switch on the mobile (saving battery during the trip) message from Vlada - current Serbian MCP appeared: 3.31 am: Hey, where are you now? Have you already entered Serbia? Check this with the bus driver, buses are usualy coming earlier... Who ho and here is it, 2,5 hours, EXTRA ULTRA EARLIER. But after waiting of 1 hour hero Vlada appeared and rescued me from sitting on the corner of the path at the Belgrade`s bus station, watching 50 of taxi drivers trying to catch some of people coming from buses which came earlier than scheduled.

    After amazing tour with my tour guide trough Belegrade (see pictures soon) I catch the bus to Nis. My AHA moment here: you have to pay 1 eur only to enter the bus station (+ ticket of course) - for every trip + 30 eur, imagine to go only to some near village 8-/.
