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.
We begin at the topic. At the start of a day dedicated to buying Turkish carpets we go the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts which houses the largest collection in the world of ancient carpets. The same colors, patterns, designs and techniques are still used, but these are sublime. This seemed like a smart tactic, but we realize we are never gonna be satisfied after these artworks.
