"Sarajevo" apparently comes from the word "saraj" for "resting place". Within the first moments of walking this city I had a feeling I wanted to rest here, to stay a bit longer. It was a friend that pointed out the wicked irony of the meaning "resting place" though, and with the number of graveyards surrounding the main town, the double meaning certainly applies.
Nevertheless, I've fallen for this city and plan to stay for a while.
So, yeah -- that list I made a few posts ago? I think I might scrap everything on it after Sarajevo. The dot stops here. Tomorrow I'm meeting with a language tutor from the Soroš School to do some initial evaluation and hopefully write up some plans for me to learn some intensive Bosnian during my last two weeks here.
Sweet.
