Speak to me in kisses

Now we come to the 6th part of our Balkans travelogue - the beautiful city of Split in Croatia. It is here that we come to learn of the emperor Diocletian's customs, how he became emperor, more about his palace, beautiful Diocletian singing... among many others. I hope the pandemic has treated you, my treasured reader, well and that this travelogue is a respite for you in this period of travel lockdown. Are you ready for a relaxing tour of Split? Come on in...

Today, we journey through the countryside of the Balkans to arrive at the second destination of the trip - Sarajevo in Bosnia. The population of Bosnia is 3 million with 70% Muslims, and the rest made up of Catholics and Christian Jews. It also has the nickname of being the Jerusalem of Europe. Sadly, their unemployment rate is 40%, as their country is still trying to recover from the civil war, which ended in 1994. For 4 centuries, they were occupied by the Ottoman Empire, which explains the Muslim architectural influences on their buildings. Later on, the Austro-Hungarian brought technology like the first tramway in Sarajevo. Come in and let's explore Sarajevo together!

Hola at you readers! It's me, Sasha Bear here - and today we're FINALLY going to post about my trip to the Balkans circa October 2019. I hope this post cheers you up in these trying times due to the coronavirus, as I bring you on a tour around Europe in the dulcet tones of autumn. Come on in to read more!

Day 6: Poznan to Krakow, Krakow to Auschwitz

I have to say this leg of the trip was pretty heavy, like the mood and all, because I guess the tour guide wanted to convey the severity of the atrocities suffered by the Jewish population in Europe during WWII. He was showing Schindler's List on the bus - although it was a great movie, it did give this part of the tour a more serious tone.

(Now it's time for our wrap up
Let's give it everything we've got
Ready? Begin)

Artificial amateurs, aren't at all amazing
Analytically, I assault, animate things
Broken barriers bounded by the bomb beat
Buildings are broken, basically I'm bombarding
Casually create catastrophes, casualties
Canceling cats got their canopies collapsing
Detonate a dime of dank daily doing dough
Demonstrations, Don Dada on the down low
Eating other editors with each and every energetic
Epileptic episode, elevated etiquette
Furious fat fabulous fantastic
Flurries of funk felt feeding the fanatics
Gift got great global goods gone glorious
Getting godly in his game with the goriest
Hit em high, hella height, historical
Hey holocaust hints hear 'em holler at your homeboy
Imitators idolize, I intimidate
In an instant, I'll rise in an irate state
Juiced on my jams like jheri curls jocking joints
Justly, it's just me, writing my journals
Kindly I'm kindling all kinds of ink on
Karate kick type brits in my kingdom
Let me live a long life, lyrically lessons is
Learned lame louses just lose to my livery
My mind makes marvelous moves, masses
Marvel and move, many mock what I've mastered
Niggas nap knowing I'm nice naturally
Knack, never lack, make noise nationally
Operation, opposition, off not optional
Out of sight, out of mind, wide beaming opticals
Perfected poem, powerful punch lines
Pummeling petty powder puffs in my prime
Quite quaint quotes keep quiet it's Quantum
Quarrelers ain't got a quarter of what we got uh
Really raw raps, rising up rapidly
Riding the rushing radioactivity
Super scientifical sound search sought
Silencing super fire saps that are soft
Tales ten times talented, too tough
Take that, challengers, get a tune up
Universal, unique untouched
Unadulterated, the raw uncut
Verb vice lord victorious valid
Violate vibes that are vain make em vanished
While I'm all well what a wise wordsmith just
Weaving up words, weeded up on my work shift
Xerox, my X-radiation holes extra large
X-height letters, and xylophone tones
Yellow back, yak mouth, young ones yaws
Yesterday's lawn yard sell our yawn
Zig zag zombies, zoom in to the zenith
Zero in zen thoughts, overzealous rhyme ZEALOTS!...

(Good... can you say it faster?)
