Found in the bookshelves of my old room in the parental mansion: The Second Pan Book of Horror Stories, selected by Herbert ("Bertie") Van Thal, who edited some 24 volumes in the series, as well as numerous other anthologies. Wonderfully lurid cover art.

Visiting Belgrade II

1. Antiquarian books, and
2. Nicola Tesla on 100 dinars (0,85€); he was born to a Serbian family in Croatia in 1856,
5. a double crosswalk (very smart, you would never see this in Germany).

Stay tuned, take it slow, and be part of team 161
