Adventure to the Balkans Travelogue Pt. 2: Sarajevo, Bosnia

Thursday, April 30, 2020


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!

October is here as we herald the last quarter of the year. Before you know it 2018 is coming to an end. What lies in store for the lucky number 8 for the last quartet of the year? For me, October means Halloween month, and that's always something to look for in the calendar for me.

May was a pretty tame month for me. Went to the ballet for the first time, and then HKG for a business trip. Also attended my first ever private movie screening!

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
