Lucia
Christmas is coming. Tuesday we went to a church to listen to some polish Christmas songs. It was ok, but since we didn't understand anything we left after the third song or so, and went for coffee instead.
Yesterday it was traditional Lucia celebrations organized by the Swedish embassy. A choir was flow in and they performed a number of traditional Swedish Christmas song. All very nice. Afterwards there was a small reception with "lussebullar" and "glögg". Fantastic.
Tried to get some pictures, but i was to dark and they turned out a bit strange.
Merry xmas

Walking in Sarajevo
Today is Sunday. We took a long walk around town and climbed a hill to see some castle ruins. It felt great to get out and to get some exercise. We had a nice view over Sarajevo and the surrounding valley. Later we ended up a fashion showroom in a nice cafe by the river where some Bosnian designers showed their work. Julia tried on some clothes and I enjoyed coffee and conagc. Can it get any better ?
Yesterday we went to a bazaar at the "twin towers" a office building here in Sarajevo. It was a fund raiser where profit went to women's rights organizations. I had a swedish christmas plate, complete with snaps and meatballs. Very nice.
I intended to buy some crafts work or something like that, but ended up with a big case of Danish beer instead. The Danish booth did nice business with the beers. Meet some nice other expatriates which invited us to a poker game that is held regulary. I not particular good poker player, but it will be lots of fun anyway.
Ciao
