a summer in sarajevo



It has been so long since I posted that my domain expired, and I learned a lesson in owning your own domain: don't let it expire. It's cheap to purchase these things, but if you let them expire, it costs a small fortune to get them back.

I'm living and working in Sarajevo this summer, and it's already going by too fast. It's my first time living abroad since Japan - 5 years! - and I've learned from that experience to find gratitude in every moment because it will end so soon. It's some of the easiest gratitude I've known. My soul feels filled up. It's filled from living on a new street whose name I can't pronounce correctly yet - but I'm working on it. From a washing machine whose instructions are in a foreign language. From a local transportation system that I haven't figured out yet. From the first time I tell a taxi driver how to get to my house - and I actually get there. I'm at home discovering things unknown and a place unknown to me. 

This summer, I'll get to know Sarajevo.
