sarajevo, bih


the hills of outer sarajevo, the capital of bosnia and herzegovina.

there was a war in bih fron 92-95 and there are remnants all over the city. it's actually quite surprising how devastated the city still looks.

foreground: ottoman cemetary. background: the ˝lucky˝ casualties of the war, the ones who were burried in the cemetary, instead of neighborhood parks and football fields.

the latin bridge, where franz ferdinand was shot


random apartment buildings in the city center.

'bosnian' coffee, served in the turkish district with turkish delight on the side.

cevapcici (pronounced sevapchi-chi) is more meat than one could imagine eating, traditional bosnian food.

this pizza is amazing and has essentially become a sarajevo tradition for anyone who visits, just after we ordered our pizzas the crowds appeared and didn't leave all night

amazing salad, perhaps not traditional bosnian food, but worthy of note anyway
