Mostar, Bosnia!

So today after a very comfortable three hour bus ride, we ended up in Mostar, Bosnia! Thus far i think its one of my favorite places. Although every place is sweet in its own way, belgrade for the safety, nightlife and people, dubrovnik for its amaying location and beaches, Mostar is awesome because it seems so like real n things like..they actually still hand make turkish coffee pots and shoes and they sell like guns and stuff from the war which isnt that awesome but its still a pretty traditional society. Although its divided in terms of one side of the river is bosniaks (muslims) and one side is the catholic side, its still a very cool place. i mean i have only been here for six hours but thus far its very nice. In terms of accomodation, we (me and 5 other kids) have pretty much a whole hotel and bar to ourselves, because its not summer and there arent any tourists here now although the weather is totally gorgeous now. The hotel is on a river and has free internet and its just beautiful. we had some amaying local food of trout and cutlets and fish soup, toured the famous bridge that (up until about 1993ish i think) was 500 years old and pretty much acted as a bridge to the two different sides of town. buuuut it was blown up in the war..so that sucks. but the European community rebuilt it and all that so it looks much like it did before. Its also nice and interesting to hear the call to prayer rising lyrically above the city as well. we happen to be on the muslim side of things, which is cool, it just means no alcohol, and let me tell you, i think i am pretty much done with that liquid substance for the remained of this trip. havent gotten out to meet any of the locals yet, we're just chilling here in our pajamas at the bar playing some cards and having some good clean fun!
