This traditional Tuarig shield against sun and wind is pronouned --ah-CHEEZ Merchants in the markets around the desert make money selling tourists three or four meter lengths of cheap cloth -- that can be turned into desert turbans.
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.
