When i arrived in Sarajevo a lady the worked for hostel Ljubica or however ya spell it.. showed me that she worked for the hostel which is the hostel i intended to stay at so she took me there... Sarajevo was my favourite city i went to durin the trip. it is alot different and more interesting to me then, every other city i went to. Sarajevo was a place id heard or read that you can easliy end up spending alot more time there then you intend to.. and i did and could of stayed even longer.. i stayed there 8 days, duin that time i went on the war tour which is deffinatley worth it..went out to several bars, went out with few bosnians to a place where theyd sing there songs and drink which was alot of fun gettin to know some of the locals.. also ate alot of nice traditional bosnian food .. after a while in sarajevo i had to go to another bus station in the repulic of Sprska due to politcal diviosions or somthin to get the bus to belgrade

Interesting photos. This is a place I'd love to visit at some point. Out of interest, how much do things cost there? Meals? beer?

costs
Bosnia is an inexpensive place to visit, eating out is somthin i did alot there you can get big meals for around 3-4 euros... or if ya want a quick eat ya can get kebabs or bureks for about 1 euro.. then theres the bakerys here ya can get a range of stuff for priddy much nothin.. and a half litre of beer is just over a euro.. bosnia is definatly worth the visit.. especially now before it gets overrun with tourists
