We met with Amosi at the Museum of African Art in Belgrade. A sunny, spring day, in a large courtyard of the museum in full bloom was the ideal setting for conversation with our correspondent.

He came out exhausted, but justified because that morning he had a test at his faculty, and afterwards a class in Swahili languages ​​at the museum. However, he had enough energy to talk to us and share his life story.

DE PUTA MADRE: This is the most incredible man who has ever set foot in Belgrade!

Amos comes from Musoma, a city in northern Tanzania. The city has about 130,000 inhabitants and is located on the coast of the Victorian lake. He came to Serbia through a scholarship from the program "World in Serbia".

- There are people here from many countries, from Africa,  Asia, America. We got a scholarship from the Minister of Education of Tanzania and came here to study - says Rvangaria.

Amos has been in Serbia for three years and is a student of the Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade.

- I was able to chose what faculty I wanted to attend, but I was looking to study something that I was taught in high school. That's why I chose the Faculty of Economics - says Amos

How did you adapt here?

- Well, at the beginning it was not easy. Anywhere you go you have to get used to a different culture, people, traditions of the nation, and even the climate. For me, it was a challenge to get to know other people, other cultures and it still interests me, because I am still not totally accustomed to Serbia.

Have you ever had a problem with people here?

- I'm glad to say, I have never had any problems with your people here. Simply, everywhere you go,  there are good and bad people, depends on who you hang out with and the company you choose to hold. We have to be careful with who we have contact and what our environment is, as well as everything else in life.

Have you made friends here in Serbia?

- Yes, I have a lot of friends. People from nearly 50 countries live here in Serbia. I've met people from Zambia, Uganda, Congo. Those are the people I first met in Belgrade and hung out with, there near Avala at a motel where was our dormitory. After that, when I learned the Serbian language and when I entered college, I met many friends from Serbia and Belgrade.

What do you like the most in Serbia, in Belgrade?

- I traveled through Serbia. I was in Nis, Novi Sad, I went to Niska Banja, to Cacak. I like your natural beauty. In Belgrade, I like the nightlife the best. The nightlife here is great. I enjoy it the most. A lot of people go out at night, at 4 am you can meet people on the street and that is great.

How do you like our girls?

- For me, the most beautiful girls are here in the Balkans and Serbia.

In addition to his studies, Amosi has time for other activities. One of them is the Swahili language lectures at the Museum of African Art in Belgrade. He says through lectures of the Swahili language, he spreads his culture and promotes his country in the best light, it is the most fulfilling of his activities and therefore enjoys it tenderheartedly.

- I am happy that many people have come forward in large numbers to learn the Swahili language. I am particularly glad because it is my mother tongue, a language from Africa and is rarely heard in the world, let alone in Serbia. Students are very good. They are willing to learn, and easily overcome it. Knowing other foreign languages ​​facilitates their learning Swahili, and next to them, I get better and better at the Serbian language - says Amosi.

Do you find it difficult to overcome the Serbian language?

- I'm still learning it, "padeži- grammar rules" are the problem and why everything changes. Says Amosi with a smile on his face.

Are there places in Belgrade where you get together with friends?

- In the center of town there is a club "Light Bar". We go there, they play our music, we play games and have fun. Our women come by too and we all have a good time.

After you finish school, do you plan on living here in Belgrade and Serbia, or are you planning to go elsewhere?

- They always say home is the best! My plan is to finish my studies and go back to Tanzania, but certainly, I do not want to stop cooperation with Serbia and the Museum of African Art. I'd hate to break relationships with people and friends that I met here. Especially today in globalization when the world is one.

Tell us, how is it like in Tanzania, for work, for life?

- The situation is changing. The country is in transition and not as it was before, everything is going towards the better. The economy is changing, no longer as it was sixty years in the past century. Tanzania is an independent state since 1961, we are not a developed country, but things are slowly changing.

Amosi is not an only child. He has three sisters. They all live in Tanzania. Two are older than him and one younger. His parents also live and work there.

Do you miss Tanzania?

- Yes, yes. There was my life, where I grew up. It will always be in my heart. That's were my family is.

After graduation, Amosi plans on returning his native land. Tanzania is a country that has a small highly educated population, so professionals are desperately needed, considering that the country is in transition and that they want to become a developed country. He will take advantage of his knowledge to better his country.

While here, thousands of kilometers away from his homeland, Amosi looks to promoting his country in the best light. He does this through meetings with Serbs and teaching the Swahili language.

Amosi was in Tanzania last year to see his family and friends, and eagerly awaits a reunion with his loved ones.
