Who knew?

Things that surprised me about Bosnia and Herzegovina (due to incorrect assumptions or past European experiences):

How good the food is
Store clerks bag groceries for you
Peanut butter is sold everywhere
Restaurants provide free glasses of tap water
People wear shorts, sneakers, colors other than black and material other than denim
Cars stop for pedestrians
It gets hot. Really hot.
Most things are wonderfully inexpensive
American sitcoms and movies are almost always on TV
English and American music is everywhere
Mayo on pizza
Stores stay open late—some bakeries never close—even on Sundays
Unsupervised children are all over the place
