Thank you note to Mostar

Mostie,

Thanks for being so cool. Well, you know what I mean.

I’m sorry I never learned the language. I think we did well with our use of gestures.

Thank you for not dubbing the fabulously bad American movies you so often aired. And your cevapi? A-ma-zing. Please send that stuff to the states ASAP. Your fruit selection is also top-notch.

Thank you for not being part of the EU and having the Euro as your currency. (But I hope that happens for you one day when the dollar is stronger.)

I think it’s safe to say you’re the prettiest city in BiH. Keep up all the great rebuilding work. You’ll go from pretty to smokin’ hot in no time.

Speaking of hot, you might look into air conditioning. Especially on your buses when it’s over 100 degrees. Just a thought.

I don’t see you as a divided city. I see you as double the fun.

Miss you already, Mostie. Hvala for everything.

Ciao,

Maria
