We stayed at Aspera Hotel Golden Horn, a 4-star hotel in Istanbul, for just one night, but that was enough to form a clear impression. We booked a Deluxe Double Room on the lower floor.

The room looked very nice, everything was fresh and not “worn out.”

In the British zombie flick 28 Years Later, a soldier shows the boy hero a photo on his phone - his girlfriend, all trout pout and fake curves:

For anyone who hasn't seen it: the kid grew up on an island version of Great Britain, locked down hard, zombies roaming everywhere, no real doctors around - so obviously nobody's getting lip fillers or a boob job there. Meanwhile over in Europe, life's carrying on like normal, no zombies in sight.

We arrived in Tivat from Belgrade. Although the airport is international, it's very small and can feel quite cramped. It likely wouldn't be able to handle two flights at the same time comfortably, as there simply isn't enough space in the terminal waiting areas.

As the plane approaches for landing, you can see mountains on both sides.
