    This is like a park in Sarajevo called Vrelo Bosna. It's really very beautiful. No matter what time of the year it is :)

    Here I decided to add a few postcards I bought as well. It'll just give you an idea what it's like there.
    This pic here is the library.

    This is pretty cool, when you don't have anything else to do- go play some chess!

    If there are too many people around there is also another one near Skenderije.

    During the golden times, times of old Yugoslavia (fell appart in 1991) Sarajevians had a reputation of people with healthiest sense of humour among all other former Yugoslavian cities.

    Also the best jokes come from this city. Three Bosnians (Suljo, Mujo and wife Fata) were always main characters, and likewise I have to tell one joke here. It might not be funny when translated in english though. Most of them use exstensive swearing that it couldn't be displayed here. You might notice that these guys are not very smart either...

    Mujo was suffering from diarrhoea and went to see a doctor. Doctor examines him but gives him a wrong medicine (Apaurin for calming down). After two days Suljo meets him and asks him :
    - 'So how are you doing now?'
    - 'Much better! I am still shi.ting but now I don't care anymore!'

    Everywhere around Sarajevo, especially across the hilly neighborhoods, you can see numerous ottoman gravestones that are hundreds of years old. It gives a special value to the particular beauty of my hometown.

  • The taxis at the airport tend to overcharge. English speaking taxi drivers will almost
    always overcharge, both here and in the rest of Bosnia-H.. Write down the figure of the
    taxi fare, show it to the driver, and have him agree to it, before getting into the cab. If
    the driver runs the meter anyway, point to the meter, and firmly say 'No!' If he ignores
    you, demand to get off. You can always flag down another taxi. Usually, however, the
    drivers are alright, and are just trying to make an honest living under very bad economic
    circumstances. If the driver is friendly and honest, a tip, no matter how small, will
    always be appreciated.

    The catholic cathedral is located in the center of the city, and dominates one of the central city squares. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in this part of town.

  • If you don't speak Bosnian (Serbian or Croatian) or look obviously foreign, it can happen that your bill will be a bit 'rounded up'. But I doubt you'll notice, it's still so cheap!

  • If you are calling Serbia from Sarajevo, go to post office in serbian part of the city (Lukavica, Dobrinja).
    I called Belgrade from post office in downtown and I was shocked when I received a bill. After that bad experience I went to serbian part of the town and called my family and friends here in Belgrade and it was much much cheaper!
    One part of Sarajevo is in Bosnian federation and other in Republika Srpska.
    Strange,very,very strange situation. And sad.
