Bosnia Trip I










































































































































































































































































































































































































































































We took a trip to Mostar this July. It was more beautiful than I imagined before when I look at the images.
We firstly waited for our train in Sarajevo Train Station, this statiton was so.....I can't find these words...
I always like trains, and stations. They remind me something deep, I don't know why...
There were some bullet marks on the walls of this train station. I knew that this was just the beginning,
cause I know more or less about Bosnian wars, and I expected to see them, but they were more huge than
I expected.

We got in our old train, with a nostalgic feeling inside. It was passing through the rivers, old towns and
green fields. It was getting dark, I was gettting sleepy but I hardly give up looking at the beauty of Bosnia
through my window, it was amazing.

We arrived to Mostar at night, and took a walk to the city center. It was a good feeling to be a stranger on
streets that I haven't been before with the other "strangers" who speak in a foreign language. I looked at
the bars with neon lighting, some young people were standing in front of these bars. When I saw the bullet
marks on the buildings, I started to feel that this trip might be more emotional than I guess...

Hello Bosnia!

**
Saraybosna'daki tren istasyonunda biraz (3-4 saat kadar) vakit geçirdikten sonra eski vagonlu trenimize
binip Mostar'a doğru yola çıktık. Yemyeşil vadilerden, küçücük evlerin sıralandığı köylerden, altından
suların aktığı eski köprülerden geçtik. Tren istasyonlarına ayrı bir ilgim vardır, ne zaman bir istasyona 
gelsem, içimi garip duygular kaplar. Bu defa içimde bu garip duygulardan da öte duyguların gelip
gittiğini sezdim. Saraybosna tren istasyonuna bir gün giderseniz ne demek istediğimi belki anlarsınız.
Mermi izlerinin delik deşik ettiği kolonlarıyla istasyonu, sigara içilen vagonları ve eski tip gişeleriyle 
aklımdan uzun bir zaman çıkmayacak.... 

Mostar'a gece vardık. Trendeki gördüğüm manzara bile bu ülkeye değişik bir sempati beslememe yetti. 
Gece çıkıp sokaklarda gezdik, anlamadığım bir dilin yüksek sesiyle yankılanan barlarının
önünde etine dolgun kadınlarla, erkekler vardı. Şöyle bir baktım. Sonra mermi izlerinin büyüklüğüne
ilk kez bu kadar yakından tanıklık ettim.

Merhaba Bosna!

  1. I wasnt in Mostar and Sarajevo for so long. Next time you should visit my city Banja Luka, it is really beautiful and clean town. Sarajevo for me is really grey town.
    Hope you had nice time :)
