So I'm sitting in a sidewalk cafe in front of the Cathedral when I hear a loud braying. Very loud, obviously coming from a large animal in distress. But I couldn't figure out what it could be since I was literally in the middle of the old city.
The braying attracted a large crowd of equally curious people and what we found smack in the middle of the square was a gigantic bull. As big as a Buick. He was loudly protesting as a man in a suit pulled him by a rope and two pretty girls rode behind him on horses.
It's election season in Sarajevo.
The guy in the suit is a well-know pol here who has used the bull as a symbol of power. I guess it's no more weird than an elephant or a donkey. But rather than a truck or ears, the big feature of this political animal was a penis. I mean A MASSIVE penis, like a war club. You could just see all the men in the crowd elbowing each other over that and the women giggling.
