The people argue amoungst themselves as the politics suck, but within the biker clubs etc there are no problems. So it is all good.
Very close friend of mine was from there. Fought in the war back in the 90's. Was on the losing side and hauled *** after it was over. Ended up in America and joined the Narine Corps where I met him.

Met a lot of Bosnians through him when I was deployed several times with him. Bosnians landed a lot of contracting jobs with KBR and had their own little worlds on the places we were encamped.

Never been myself but I've spent a lot of time in Ubdina and Rijeka Croatia (I believe those are the names, been 15 years).

I've been all over Europe and despite some of the political and economic issues, Eastern Europe was always my preference.

It's our turn and we go to front of chapel. 'Minister' starts preaching at us and I stop him. I said, 'Look, you have liquor on your breath and if you really are a minister you wouldn't be marrying people at midnight in Vegas, let's just move on.'

Major in-law points for that one.
We got married at the Silver Bells wedding chapel in 1992 with my folks there as well.

I meant that I do not need to work here and support myself and if you can belueve it my SS is enough to live on here and I am fortunate that Ihave no financial worries excluding the wife's spending habits. The historical district has been much improved and the Mostar bridge has been rebuilt for many years now. However, ther are still signs of the damage from 20 years ago and people are still arguing about the same **** and nothing gets done. As I said the politics are **** and economic policies haven't provided much economic opportunities for the locals unless you know someone.

Cool! It's a beautiful country and the folks always treated me well. Could be because I was paying in hard currency though.
