Subject: Video: Welcome to Bosnia
Bosnia's tourism promotion ad.

Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rinQSOVUvrU&eurl=

Have you enjoyed the video? Ok, good! Now seat back, relax and get
ready for a dose of reality as "Bosnia and Herzegovina is not as
singularly idyllic as the video below shown," said another blogger who
happened to blog this same video. There is nothing wrong with canoeing
along the Una or Neretva river, sipping whine in fancy restaurants, or
roaming around the Old Town, snapshooting pictures like a passing by
tourist-which I did plenty. But I think to get more out of your trip
to Bosnia, you should flip a page or two to learn a bit more about the
country's history and culture.

For some reason, I think a lot of people's, non-Europeans, awareness
of Europe stop with the Western countries, namely UK, France, Italy,
and Germany. Throw out  some Eastern country names other than Russia
and you'll witness some sort of subtle confusion on people's face.
Not only Eastern, Bosnia to many people is still hecka messed up. Hmm,
I'm not an economist nor business/political analyst so I can't
really say how "hecka messy" Bosnia is.  In someway, I think it does as
groaned by a random police man I talked on the street. "Bosnia nije
dobro." It means "Bosnia is not good."  But as a tourist, why should
you care? You'll only there to have a good time, right? I bet you
won't even notice anything wrong. In this of sort of messiness,
though, you'll probably encounter one of the most friendly and
hospitable people you've known.

Welcome to Bosnia!
