Sometimes I just want to be a cat. Like this one. A cool cat. Chilexing at home. Checking out the people on the street. Shouting an occasional comment. And eating. A lot.

It is time! I am celebrating my goodbye party in Berlin tonight. And then on June 5th I am off with my friends from Budapest to Sarajevo to finally move there. If you want to come tonight (and you are in Berlin), send me a msg and I will let you know where it is.
I remember when I took my first trip to Sarajevo last summer. And in 10 days time I am MOVING to Sarajevo. It is true what they say. One trip can change your life.
Assis. On our way to the train station.

“Be interested, be sociable, explore”. (Quoting the author)
I love these pictures and the text. Thank you for sharing these thoughts and your experience. I agree, it is beautiful to be young and naive.
Bosnia - Part 1
This is Sarajevo, Bosnia Charlie … as I saw it in 2001 and 2002.
When I lived there, the city was completely war torn. Buildings were demolished, the streets and houses were pot-marked from the years of bombing, and the country faced significant economic and political challenges. Most people thought it was the worst assignment I could have ever received. In fact, they couldn’t have been more wrong.
Living in Sarajevo was one of the greatest times of my life. I made great friends, learned the history and culture, and spoke the language well enough to even occasionally pass for a local. Cevapi was my favorite meal, and “Yesta mai brate,” (“What’s up brother?) rolled off my tongue like a true Sarajevan.
You see, I came into Bosnia free of bias, due entirely to my ignorance. I was genuinely interested in getting to know both the country and the people, and as a result I was rewarded with the most genuine experiences and relationships of my life.
I’ve been to over 30 countries since, Charlie, and I never experienced a place like Sarajevo again. Perhaps it is because Sarajevo really is the greatest place on Earth, but it is more likely that I was just willing to take in everything without preconceptions.
It is a magnificent thing to be young and naive. While you are prone to make a lot of mistakes, you are also incredibly trusting and accepting.
I don’t know if that’s a better recipe for living life than the (sometimes skeptical) one I am living now, but I do know this: There should be at least one time in your life that you completely absorb an experience like the one I had in Sarajevo, Charlie. Just go somewhere new and take in everything without passing judgement. Be interested, be sociable, explore.
Hopefully you too will find your Sarajevo, and will be a better man for having found it.

“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.”
With only three weeks left before my departure to Sarajevo, I have managed to neglect the most important task…learning the language! I am so caught up with all the organization (preparing to leave Berlin, finding someone to take over the flat, sorting out tax/bank/mobile contract issues, finding accommodation in Sarajevo…) that I have come to the point of being nervous about attending my language class. I suppose it is a mix of guilt (for not studying enough) and being scared (of not being able to learn the language). I feel that I have severely fallen behind. It is not fun being the worst one in the class. This must be changed. SADA. There is a beautiful Japanese proverb about fear:
“Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.”
And I shall not allow it to go any further.
Part of my homework was to answer some question regarding happiness AND why I want to go on a beach holiday. Clearly, these topics are intellectually very challenging. Hope you can follow.
Although these are just a few sentences, it took me more than an hour to write them… Once again, I would like to point out that learning a language is a painful process. (Feel free to quote me on that one.) Let the fun begin.
Koja osoba razmislija slično vama?
Slažem se s nekim izjavama. Važno je dobar zdrav, imati brinu prijatelji i potporu obitelji.
Što je za vas sreća?
Za mene, je sreća biti: prodeviti vrijeme s obitelj i prijatelji. Sreća dolazi kad cijeniti male stvari. Mislim da ćete morati “boriti” za svoje sreće. Morate biti aktivan o tome. (Lakše je biti nesretni nego sretni, jer ljudi vole žaliti.)
Što te za vas bila sreća prije pet, deset godina?
Iskreno, ne sjećam …

Želim imati ljetovanje na moru. Zato?
Volim more. Volim plodove mora. Segurno, ljudi su opušteni na more. Ti možes raditi mnogo stvari na moru. Možete plivati, igrati odbojku, čitati knjigu, šetati na plaži, opustiti, zabaviti. Možete miris svježeg zraka. Želim svojim prijateljima da dođu na more sa mnom. Tko dolazi sa mnom? :)
The Bosnia Book Project (1992-1995)
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1093199707/the-bosnia-book-project-bosnia-1992-95
In September 2011 a group of photographers and writers who had covered the war in Bosnia met and decided to make a book about that war to commemorate the beginning of the war and to re-engage with the country. The idea was 15 years in the making.
Jon Jones (project photo editor), Gary Knight (project production in collaboration with photographer Ziyah Gafic) and Remy Ourdan (project text editor) took the project on with the intention of making a book to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the war. They pulled together the work of over 50 indigenous and foreign photographers and writers who all volunteered their material.
The hardback book contains 248 pages that includes the work of many of the leading photographers and writers of the time. It charts the course of the war from its beginning in April 1992 to the Dayton Peace Accord in 1995.
We have raised 50% of the money we need to publish, now we are looking for matching funds.
The book is now ready to print in Bosnia in time for its launch at the Sarajevo Film Festival in July 2012. We need your help to make this deadline.
250 copies of the book will be dispersed for free to libraries and academic institutions in Bosnia.
The contributors to the book include:
Darko Bandic, Amel Amric, Nina Berman, Alexandra Boulat, Gilles Peress, Noël Quidu, Ron Haviv, Odd Andersen, Olivier Jobard, Patrick Chauvel, Andrew Reid, Anja Niedringhaus, Rikard Lama, Antoine Gyori, Benoit Gysembergh, Christopher Morris, Christophe Calais, Enric Marti, Enrico Dagnino, Eric Bouvet, Filip Horvat, James Mason, Jerome Delay, James Nachtwey, Laurent Rebours, Laurent Sazy , Michael Persson , Morten Hvaal , Patrick Robert, Paul Lowe, Peter Northall, Rachel Cobb, Roger Hutchings, Ron Haviv, Santiago Lyon, Srdjan Ilic, Steve Connors, Thomas Kern, Tom Haley, Tom Stoddart, Laurent Van Der Stockt, Goddard Wade, Yannis Behrakis, Anthony Loyd, John F Burns, Janine Di Giovanni, Jean Hatzfeld, Kurt Schork, David Rohde, Ariane Quentier, Remy Ourdan, Gary Knight, Jon Jones.
Thank you for reading.
