At home somewhere in this world

Just a place to talk to myself

Europe

I've never been a big fan of the European continent as a whole. I think the problem is that I'd always been to way over populated over touristed places. Rome, Paris, and London to name a few. But I finally figured out why so many people want to spend their backpacking trips and vacations in Europe. You have to find the out of the way cities. The real old world people and real European way of life. Don't get me wrong I realize there is a big difference between Bosnian and German culture but I'd much rather vacation in Sarajevo than Berlin any day. The cobblestone alley ways and the streetside coffee shops are where people actually live and eat. The open air markets are frequented by more Bosnians doing their shopping than tourists taking pictures. The same goes for Prague. I can finally taste the flavor of Europe and its sweet.
