by moomie Tuzla has long been known as a waterless city. Therefor, a big fountain (cesma) was installed sometimes during Turkish rule on what used to be the main square. Then it was removed, then installed again, then the communists removed it, then it was installed again... It still stands and serves this city with water. Leave a Comment

by TZBosnia Go into the hills and little streets downtown. You can still catch a glimpse of the old life, especially if you see some old ladies sitting in their yards drinking cofee. The hills are just beautiful. The more you go up the more you could see old houses and finally you will end up in the woods where it is so calm and beautiful.
What I love the most in Tuzla is the time of Ramadan (Muslim holy month), when all the bakeries make special kind of pita bread with black seeds on top (choorookot, I don't know what they are called in English) and the whole downtown smells. I especially love it when it is almost time to eat after a day of fasting, the night is slowly falling, the smell of the hot bread in the air, people rushing homes to bring bread in time for eftar(breaking the fast) and then the call to prayer from at least five different mosques that you can hear downtown, close to the intersection called Square. Then the children rush into the house yelling: 'It's time, it's time, the lights are on on the minaret, usually competing who is going to see the lights first.' Leave a Comment

go to the Korzo, or equivilant of downtown. During the Summer, it is alive late into the night. Street cafe's, music, and vibrant youth pack the traffic free streets.
I spent many sleepless nights in Tuzla due to jetlag, and one thing that I miss is the sound of the 'hodga' calling faithful Muslims to pray early in the morning when its still dark out. When I did sleep, however, it did not wake me up! Leave a Comment

 The extended family by american_tourister Ibrahim and Semira both worked for me at Eagle Base. I have a photo of them here with all of their girls. Ibrahim has two and Semira has one. They are great folks and have suffered a lot of hardship in their lives. Even so they both have retained their sense of humor and compassion. If all people in the former Yugoslavia had been like them there never would have been a war. Leave a Comment
