Travel Around

R2CI'm flying to Washington D.C. on Sunday for a really big thing: 10th anniversary of the Dayton Peace agreement. This article by Jonathan Steele, in The Guardian emphasizes almost all of the things I personnaly think about the current situation in Bosnia how much we can blame that piece of paper that we now call the Constitution for the situation.
There're also another 6 students from Bosnia and Herzegovina coming and it seems that they invited us so we could lighten up the atmosphere a little bit. The celebration or whatever they're calling it will last for 2 days and will consist of intergovernmental as well as interreligious talks, and a lunch on Tuesday when I'm flying back to Memphis.
I'm staying in Memphis until Sunday though (tomorow: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire :)), and after I get back I'll stay at my friends Bethan's house until the end of the week, so I don't think I will have enough online time to actually post something here, but I'll promise I'll try.
Until then all you Bosnian speaking men and women can check out the web site of the University of Sarajevo Law School Student Organisation. Quite an interesting forum and often some news too. ;)

Here I Am...

Never mind, an old song... To begin with, a brief account of our visit to Washington D.C., a lovely place that by some strange universal accident landed on a wrong continent. :) We didn't get much chance to walk around the City, somewhat because of the rain and also our busy schedule. But we did see (at least from afar) most of the most famous monuments that make this city what it is. We were located in the City Center so we also saw all the old architecture that one wouldn't expect anywhere outside Europe, and also got a tour of a big fortress Americans call State Department. But we got a chance to see a whole lot of Bosnian politicians. I do not want to curse on this blog so I will just skip the general impression I got from our political "elite" and religious leaders. With people like that our country can only go – downhill. I did get a chance to meet a lot of interesting people outside of that group. I made a little mistake, 9 Bosnian students came to that anniver...

Yogalistic

SORE ALL OVER!!! Seriously people, my roommate actually told me this morning I was breathing hard for some reason, and I think it was from exhaustion! But I think my muscles are actually rejoycing at the chance to do some real work after a long time. I think the only other time I felt like this in the past five years was after a two day trip across the mountains around Sarajevo with skiis and a lot of other mountaineering gear. Don't want to spread the story long and wide 'cos most of the stuff I mention you wouldn't have even heard of anyways. Yes, it's Yoga. Before Yoda, today Yoga. I guess I was actually subcontiously considering Yoga lessons when I posted that picture... But anyways, there're a lot of FREE lessons for OleMiss students and teaching staff (heh, when will we see a thing like that in Bosnia???) during the week and I had some extra time yesterday and hence my complaining. We actually did the same excercises as in this small pic, but don't ask me ...
