It’s so good to be part of The Mountain ACademy!

5th stage has finished 2-3 weeks ago, and me still dreaming about this magic place. Far away from all modern comfort, yet still very friendly and calm. During our week in Taghia, happened so many things in my mind… For a first time, a climbing place left stronger impression than just climbing. When I’m speaking with my friends here in Belgrade, I even forgot to mention routes I climbed… Ok, at the end, I just pass info about how I improve my level J - just because easiest route in Taghia was like a dream goal for me few months ago...

But more time I speak about all strange things I saw & experienced. For example, all buildings are painted in color of red, as I heard later – symbolic , because of red sand which is transported by wind from the desert… People in Taghia are far away from modern civilization – one day driving off-road piste from capital, but they are using solar cells and water - powered system for electricity. And drinking of Coca-Cola J. Of course, they are not the richest people in this capitalistic society, and result is less stressful life, but you cannot have everything in same time.

I think it was a great experience for the whole team, to leave “invisible” boundaries of Europe, and for a change, to see life from another perspective. Working just for survive, without any material pleasure… Days without watches and electronically devices, gave us lot of time, beside climbing, to speak with each other about so many topics for usually “we never have time”, and get to know more, and relax from all stress back home.

So, since me got back home, I’m trying to adopt “Inch Allah” way of life, and stop pressing myself with all every day crisis…
