Moving in

One of the most challenging aspects of integrating into another culture is to deal with aspects of daily life that natives take for granted.  We encountered one example of this notion in Podgorica.  In Podgorica, we noticed that traffic lights that are green begin flashing when they are about to change.  That is a very simple aspect of their daily lives, but can be unsettling to a visitor who is accustomed to a different routine at intersections.
Another example of this is associated with the accoutrements associated with our apartment as illustrated in these two images.  One image shows a device for drying clothes, while the other shows a device for drying dishes.  How are these examples different from similar objects from our culture?

You see both if these things all over Italy as you know. I think the drying cupboard is a great thing!

    I am a university professor with interests in the relationship of food and culture.  I am also a Fulbright Scholar and will deploy to Montenegro in September, 2014 where I will collaborate in teaching and learning about food and culture as well as food tourism.  This blog is dedicated to sharing my experiences in Montenegro with you. It is also dedicated to my son Chad who mixes artistry and savvy in teaching people how to bake bread and make pizza.
