So since last week in Mostar its been pretty none stop.
We went onto Sarajevo to stay in the much hyped up Haris Hostel (ran by Haris who opened the hostel when he was 15 and has been running it for 6 years now). Whilst there we met up again with Dave (American actor/TV host who has also appeared on Korean reality TV and has done voiceover work on The Wire) and the Slovenian Boys (Dr Yetta and Peter Pigeon). We also met a fabulous Australian man called Nick who we persuaded to join us in Kosovo!
So Kosovo...We got an 11 hour night bus there on Sunday night with the lads and booked into stay with the nutty professor in his Guest House.
I forgot to mention that we met a charming young American man called Spencer in Sarajevo for all of 2 minutes who in that time span managed to give us the names of everywhere we had to visit here in Kosovo along with taking my number to get us in touch with his Kosovar friends. Sure enough on the morning we arrived I heard from his friend Maria.
Since meeting Maria it feels as if we have been introduced to everyone in pristina, including marias house mate Agon, who we have now moved in with because we have decided to stay in Kosovo for longer.
The people here are so overwhelmingly friendly ! Everyone is willing to help with directrions and speak to you if you have any questions.
It doesnt look like you think it would neither. From what I have seen so far its not like in Bosnia where you can see the effacts of the war everywhere, however it still seems like a sensative subject and you see the Peace keepers (KFor troops...usually handsome italian men or friendly Americans who pose for photos) around the place.
Agon is possibly taking us to Northen Albania this weekend and to stay with his family in his home town. Its all very cool and feels quite unreal still that we are here.
Must go - Its warm and the ice cream is calling me
PS. This country is down as world wide simply because this website doesnt recognise Kosovo as a country (which it is in its own right) and I am not putting it down as Serbia !
