Worker 1: (upon seeing a colleague who's been on sick leave back at his desk)"I'm glad to see you back. I was afraid I'd have to pay 10 KM for your funeral."
Worker 2: "Ten KM is all? I would have expected at least 15!"
In the summer of 2012, I'm back in Sarajevo working with people who are good journalists and after all this time also good friends. My language skills are no better, alas, but I hang out with natives and internationals in the know. So I'm planning in this space to tell Bosnian stories to American readers, with my Bosnian friends free to call me out on errors or wrong headed interpretations. This is a fascinating area of the world and these are interesting times.
