I arrived to Kotor todays ago, meeting a rather strange woman at the busstation who constantly followed me, wanting me to accomondate at her place. I didn't get much of her very fast talk, but after long considerations and her constantly saying Stari Grad, Moda, Stari Grad, I chose together with a belgien guy to go with her. We came to a small apartment near the cathedral, where she immidiately started serving us coffee and once again saying moda moda. I had assumed it ment modern, but her place was far from that.

I arrived to Kotor todays ago, meeting a rather strange woman at the busstation who constantly followed me, wanting me to accomondate at her place. I didn't get much of her very fast talk, but after long considerations and her constantly saying Stari Grad, Moda, Stari Grad, I chose together with a belgien guy to go with her. We came to a small apartment near the cathedral, where she immidiately started serving us coffee and once again saying moda moda. I had assumed it ment modern, but her place was far from that. The toilet was in a terrible condition, on the one wall hang a poster, a coca cola calendar from 1988 and everything seemed like entering a very old place that had looked the same for decades, a museum. Nice, but definatly not modern. We fastly decided to join for going out discovering the place, mostly because we needed to get our thoughts together about this very interesting elder woman. We went for a lunch and got to know each other a little better. He had come to Montenegro to hike in the mountains and to take pictures of the view. After a nice relaxing lunch and some funny talks about our host, we parted, he for the castle-hill and me for a search of a bookshop in the silly hope that they might have the new Harry Potter book, which I would love to make my travelpartner through Albania. But it does not exist in Montenegro, which I already knew, I believe. So I walked the streets a little more and finally after viewing the town I sad outside the house of my host on a coffee, to write a little and wait for my new belgian travellingpartner. It was a nice sunny day and even though I couldn't get my important daily bijela kava, because of no water in the center I fully enjoyed just relaxing in the shade, following the example of the locals. When I rejoined with the belgian guy, we went to check out what was happening outside the cathedral, where a large podie had been sat up. With a MB-beer in place at a nearby-cafe, we watch our first live fashionshow and I finally realized that moda, moda did not mean modern, but fashion. We had a great time watching the show, talking and I discovered more about this really interesting guy. He had started a project some years ago. A small text on a homepage about peace in the world and about what would happen if all the radiostations in the world played at the same time, the same song. He had chosen a John Lennon song to recommend, unfortunately I don't remember the particular, but I kind of like the idea. Even though, which he himself also knew, it is something close to mission imposible, it is a beautifull thought and for that I would like to give him credit.
The fashion show continued and I was amazed, not by the manequins or clothes, but the way the cathedral was lightened up in several different neon colours. Many times did I turn my head and the cathedral had changed colour again. pink, green, violet, yellow, blue... After the moda we decided to quit it for the night and went home to our host and our beds.

I had never imagined that my first and probably last real fashion show would happen in Montenegro, in Kotor, this sleepy little town.
The following day I spended mainly relaxing, sleeping and sitting at the harbor... just what I needed!
