A day after coming back from Sarajevo

19th August 2026

I had a beautiful trip to Sarajevo. Wrote a lot of things on my notebook and took a lot of photos with my camera. The airbnb was one of the best, or best airbnb I've stayed in. Another great airbnb was my stay in Leeds, 2018. This time in Sarajevo, I've met two mademoiselles in the airbnb, we had dinners, drinks and relaxing time at the dining together. Wendy from North of Italy, who is an English teacher in high school, originally from US. We went to a brewery together and had a beer, dumplings. She has a friend, who is a cellist, she is from Osaka and owns a second house in north Italy. Wendy has a 19 years old son, she and her husband adopted a baby from Maili. The story was incredible. Wendy went to another part on Bosnia on Sunday to see his friend from 20 years ago, as she hosted two girls from Bosnia back then and they were reuniting. She has a warm heart and smile. Another lady is from Paris, she is a anthropologist, her name is Elisabeth. After Wendy left, we spent a lot of time together. On the last night she cooked a simple dinner, and it felt like a nice french food. She boiled potatos, lettuce, and tomatoes and we just put some salt and pepper, but it was somehow good. She talked about her trip to Foca, showed me photos from the museum there. It was really interesting. Next day, after we had a breakfast, we went on a walk to see an ancient bridge, it took a good 30-40 minutes on foot with some wild paths but we had a nice view and it was nice to see some nature side of Sarajevo. I watched 4 films at the Sarajevo Film Festival. The most memorable film was "Fireworks Wednesday" by Farhaldi, an Iranian director. Great film, I will remember this film for a long time. I also went to a cemetery, where Ivica Osim is resting. The cementary has different sections and he is resting in the section for atheists. On the last day, Elisabeth and I took a taxi to the airport together. I went on to a lot of travels in the past 5 years but I have the feeling that this one remains as one of the greatest trips. I will come back in a few years. perhaps by the next world cup. Next time, I'll also watch the derby match between Sarajevo and Zeljeznicar. At the airport, I was able to buy the shirt's of Osim for Abetaka. There are mugs and T Shirts for my selt as well. Omo - 3,14
