If I had to pick a place for war, it would be Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the most beautiful war zone. The mountains used for the Olympics a mere 8 years before the war then provided shelter for the attacking Serb Army. The stage was set for the perfect crime.
Take the mountains of Colorado and put them on crack - nature spills everywhere, dripping into towns and cities, daring the people to fight back as they circle the city. Tito's communist legacy is echoed by ugly apartment buildings - gray concrete racing to the sky. Every 6 feet add a Mosque, every 16 add a Church. Split the remaining space between houses and parks. Buildings switch between Turkish, Austro-Hungarian and skeletons left by the War. Finally, sprinkle in awkward hyper modern structures. You are here.
Welcome to Sarajevo.
