nice pics. I must agree that most of the architecture doesn't appeal to me, but that's the reality of most modern architecture I think.

by modern I mean the grab blocks of concrete and steel that were very popular during the 70s and 80s. And 90s, I guess. I dunno. Some of it can be really cool...most of it is drab, grab and square.
This is cool

It's hard to build new and 'modern' things when you're under constant bombings. Just Belgrade has taken much more bombs than all cities of USA together. I dare wondering how would New York look like after that.  Err... that's why I wondered about why you used phrase 'modern architecture'.
Alright, this is where I wouldn't live (robot building, modern architecture):

I like anything in Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil) style, but that is so fancy and expensive that chances are I'll never live in such a building.

Double post but I like the Antwerp Central Station a lot. Sometimes go there for luch, just sit there and enjoy the people hopping on and off trains.

Inside:
Notice the huge glass dome:

I can't say the station appeals much to me. A lot of the rest are pretty cool, though. Well, other than the hotel or whatever with the huge jesus portrait or whatever that was.

Lack of IT conditions? As in, no internet at all? 
Gotta love the countryside. In Belgium pretty much the entire country has become one stretch from city to city (too many people on too little space), with very few actual countryside remaining. Maybe a little down South in the Ardennes (where they fought the ).
But when I was in the Czech Republic things were the other way around. From the moment you went outside the cities (Prague in my case) you were lost in endless landscapes of meadows, forests and hick towns. 
No weapons though. What with no civil wars and all.  Only pretty farmer girls who swoon over foreign accents (but I hear Serbian girls are cute too).

Good to hear. I hope the indoor work progresses smoothly. So I'm guessing you're getting the real furniture in in a couple of weeks?
Don't be surprised if you find me sleeping in your shed this winter! I'm a poor man without a home.
