The Federal Association Of Globe Trotters

I found a cafe in Belgrade that has perhaps the best name in the history of cafes: The Federal Association Of Globe Trotters.

I had read about the cafe and I went purely for the alluring name. I otherwise never would have found this place on my wanders. It is downstairs in a basement and the only bit of advertising out the front is above the door buzzer.

It is furnished with an eclectic variety of furniture and art work, much of it donated by friends of the place over the years. I fell in love with it immediately. If I had a home, this is how I would furnish it.

At night it transforms into a music club, which doesn’t suit my sitting in cafes writing kind of style, so I went in the early afternoon when it wasn’t too busy.

They have wireless internet but I didn’t have my laptop with me, so I used the time to write some notes. I would have left the place sooner but happened to be playing Dead Can Dance CD’s and I was just enjoying the place too much.
