Little to report as I spent yesterday reading. This is my last day here. I did, finally, get a few roommates, four kids who arrived in the dorm last night. One of them recognized me from the hostel in Budapest.
Overall Sarajevo seems like a smaller version of Istanbul. It has the same bazaar selling endless souvenirs. And the glitzy broad avenue of expensive shops like Beyeglu in Istanbul. There is an active cultural life here with a film festival, a book festival, and nightly outdoor concerts but the city seems in stasis with too few visitors. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Sbrebenica massacres so many folks headed over there for the ceremonies.
I do not know exactly how I am going to get to my next stop, Pristina, from here. The only regular bus lines take me toward the coast while I want to stay inland. I will try to find a way tomorrow.
