Of Wedding Anniversaries: Goldfish-Ficus-Pineapple

Taiwan

Is a long marriage better than a short one? Rethinking wedding anniversaries from the point of quality rather than the length of the relationship.

Today is our 11th wedding anniversary. To commemorate it we named it Goldfish-Ficus-Pineapple using the same logic as in some of our previous wedding anniversaries.

  • 2014 Monkey-Palmtree-Peasoup
  • 2013 Chihuahua-Cactus-Taco
  • 2012 Camel-Date-Sand
  • 2010 Pasta-Peanut-Pistachio
  • 2007 Palladium-Porcelain-Panda

Commonly wedding days are classified starting from paper, cotton, leather, linen, wood, and iron and ending up to silver (25), gold (50), and diamond (60). The more years, the more distinguished the anniversary. Who cares whether the spouses love each other as long as it lasts long, right?

For us, every single anniversary is precious as is also this very moment, right now, that we share together. It's better to have one day of happy marriage than celebrate the diamond anniversary after 60 years in a bad marriage.

Tips for Travelling and Surviving in the Balkans as a Vegan

Eating in local restaurants in the Balkans can be a bore as there are only a couple of vegan options available: mixed salad, french fries and Italian pasta with aglio and olio. Even rice is often cooked in broth. However, there is fresh produce available almost throughout the year, from early spring to late fall. Strawberries, cherries, apricots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears, and plums abound, and vegetables are tasty. Beans and lentils are also part of local diet as well as walnuts and hazelnuts.

Upon this mission, we got into contact with Portuguese Vicente on BeWelcome hospitality exchange , and got interested in the place where he had been staying on and off for some years. The place is Kalna in Stara Planina Mountains that run from Serbia to Bulgaria.
