Vanji paid me a trip to Budapest, to attend the ifabo. Just to see what's new and also as a matter of support for our dissident project. Long day. I pulled some nice faces and whatnot on 11th to extend my passport on a short notice. Got it the same day. Luckily, the police HQ, where they do passports, is just 100m away from DBA's underground HQ.
This was still unrelated to the future separation from DBA, though we were already preparing something, it just didn't have much of a shape, it was more of a club of dissidents - two of us, Rade from time to time, a guy from Bangro but not Brlja yet, Grgi just once or twice. I even once came with the office yugo, just to see if anyone's spying on us.
One of these weeks it happened that we were all sitting around the kitchen table after lunch, and she pulled out one of the "Karolina on ..." storybooks, the one "...on vacation", which we all knew by heart, because we either read it or heard it so many times. And it had to be read word for word every time, because both Go and Nina knew the full text and would complain on any error. So this time, when she started to read it, we spoke the text with her, in perfect sync. Which lasted until about the end of first sentence, when we all burst into laughter. Except Lena, I guess, she didn't quite know what's up.
