Mike Little in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Gornji-Vakuf Uskoplje, Celebrity hub.

So our fair town got a visit from Tito's granddaughter and the norwegian ambassidor yesterday. There are some municiple elections going on in the fall, and the parties are starting up now. I heard her speak, which was cool, even if I couldn't understand her. Tito is still regarded as a hero, especially by the Bosnians. Think about how popular Justin Trudeau is now, now expand his fathers role. Imagine Pierre Trudeau freed Canada from the Nazis in WW2 and led our country for almost 40 years. Tito's granddaughter is almost like royalty with her symbolic power. She doesn't formally endorse any political party, so i would have loved to hear the discussion the Social Democratic party had with her yesterday.

And in other news, not much is going on. Montenagro divorced from Serbia, with basically no concern. The Serb part of BiH (Republik Srpska) has been denied a referrendum as to whether or not to join Serbia or stay in Bosnia. No one is coming close to allowing that to happen. i'm going to a city called Bugoinja (sic) tomorrow, not sure why or how, but it should be a bit bigger than our little town. I hope that there are some pictures from Dubrovnik on this site by the time you read this, they are taking forever to send to the main server.

*Oh Bonus! you can now find this site on Google. I had to register it and fool around with the HTML a bit, but it works. If anyone has access to large corporate servers, add a link to my website and watch my page rank soar. Also if anyone has a Google Analytics invite to give me, I would love it. JMikelittle@gmail.com
