The Balkan Peninsula and the Balkans is a peninsula and a cultural area in Southeast Europe with different and disputed borders. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that stretch from the east of Serbia to the Black Sea at the east of Bulgaria.
The Balkans meet the Adriatic Sea on the northwest, Ionian Sea on the southwest, the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea on the south and southeast, and the Black Sea on the east and northeast. The highest point of the Balkans is Mount Musala 2,925 metres (9,596 ft) on the Rila mountain range in Bulgaria.
From Antiquity through the Middle Ages, the Balkan Mountains had been called by the local Thracian name Haemus. According to Greek mythology, the Thracian king Haemus was turned into a mountain by Zeus as a punishment and the mountain has remained with his name. A reverse name scheme has also been suggested. D. Dechev considers that Haemus (Αἷμος) is derived from a Thracian word *saimon, 'mountain ridge'. A third possibility is that "Haemus" (Αἵμος) derives from the Greek word "haema" (αἵμα) meaning 'blood'. The myth relates to a fight between Zeus and the monster/titan Typhon. Zeus injured Typhon with a thunder bolt and Typhon's blood fell on the mountains from which they got their name.

Last December, I traveled to the Balkans in the winter. I wanted to share my experience and I hope this helps to guide your winter Balkans travel if you are interested in traveling to the Balkans in the winter. I started my trip in the capital of Macedonia, which is called Skopje. I flew there from Barcelona and found a really great flight through Wizz Air for only 35 euro! Macedonia in the winter is so cool and quiet, but still very beautiful despite all the fog in Skopje. I also went to Kosovo and Serbia. Something I didn't say in the video is that you cannot enter Serbia from Kosovo. Serbia does not recognize the Kosovo border because it doesn't recognize it as an independent state. So after I visited Kosovo, I went back to Macedonia and went to Belgrade, Serbia from Skopje. That took ...
Macedonia and Bulgaria are neighboring countries in the Balkans that have walked together in many stages of their history. They represent the past, present, and future of a region with a special relevance in the history of European nations. If you ever have the opportunity, please take your time to visit these two fascinating countries, definitely, the pearls of the Balkans. This travel documentary is not intended to provide an exhaustive review of both countries. It simply reflects my views and experiences during a sixteen-day family trip in August 2014.

Watch more VICE documentaries here: http://bit.ly/VICE-Documentaries As documented in numerous morning-radio parodies of the Beach Boys' "Kokomo," the 1999 War in Kosovo was a grisly, nebulous affair in which the disputed region's Serbian and Albanian populations accused one another of rape, ethnic cleansing, and other sordid atrocities. Thanks to a blow job, the United States decided to get involved, and following an intensive bombing campaign by NATO fighter jets, the situation in Kosovo is now... still fucked. Both the Serbs and the Albanians claim the region belongs to them, neither side is budging, and people still regularly get their ass kicked for be...

Nestled inside its mighty ramparts is Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic." From this remarkably preserved medieval fortress city, we venture into less-touristed corners of the former Yugoslavia. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, we visit Mostar — war-torn in the '90s, but bursting with promise today. In Montenegro, we sail the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and explore its mysterious, mountainous interior. © 2010 Rick Steves' Europe

Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life
yeah
'cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said: You gotta get up
You gotta get off
you gotta get down
girl.
You know
you drive me crazy
baby
You've got me turning to another man.
Called you on the phone
no one's home -
Baby
why'd you leave me all alone?
And if it wasn't for the music I don't know what I do.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life from a broken heart.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life with a song.
You know I hopped into my car - didn't get very far
I know.
Before I had you on my mind - why be so unkind?
You've got your women all around
all around this town.
But I was trapped in love with you and I didn't know what to do
But then I turned on the radio
found out all I need to know.
- Check it out. -
Last night a D.T. saved my life
. . .
Last night a D.J. saved my life
. . .
listen up to your local D.J. - you better hear what he's got to sa
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
'cause I can do
On the double. And
you don't let it
Trouble your brain
'cause away goes trouble
Down the drain. Said
Away goes trouble down
The drain. - Well
