My wife is from Bijeljina. We came back to the States in 2011. I was there 14 years, and we have been married for 25!

Bosnia ,historically was originally part of croatia,then a independent kingdom now split between croats, moslems and Serbs ...a large part taken by Serbs to create the Republic serbska,i spoke to a bosnian,he said the place is ruined since it was broken up,and he has a home there..?😮

Continue the walks David; your breath will improve as a result. NO--you are not old--just one advanced in wisdom. I am 68 and I walk everyday; I also practice yoga--highly recommend both!

Thanks so much David. I don't doubt the quality of care, perhaps even better than some areas of the US and the healthcare for profit model. I am curious regarding the approximate cost of the health insurance there. As far as retiring, the three options that you have given are not doable at this time, however, where there is a will, there is always a way. I am not eligible to buy property, I am single, and I am not sure about the business model.

Congratulations David 🎉 Happy to see this channel. I'm currently living nomadically across the Balkans to explore where my heart settles.

I’d like to share an interesting story about how the Vultures got their name. It all started when they were traveling back to Banja Luka after an away game. They made a stop in Jablanica, a place famous for its roasted lamb. As soon as they got off the bus, they went straight to the lamb roasting on the spit and began picking off pieces with their hands. When owner saw this, he rushed out, yelling, “Leave that, you vultures!” From that moment on, the guys started calling each other “Vulture” as a joke, and the name has stuck ever since. Greetings from Banja Luka, hope you have a good time.

It appears Banja Luka is mainly a Serb town. It looks clean and prosperous. Just curious to know if Muslims feel safe living here among Serb majority population? Is there any ethnic tension in the area?

The best thing, still not a lot of crazy traffic like we have. The place looks nice. By the way, I tried cooking the sarma. It tastes good , but messed up the wrap. Please thank your wife for posting the recipe.

Very interesting discussion David! Jajce looks flipping amazingly. I definitely must put it in my list for this year. I've only been to Mostar, and Sarajevo (three times to both 😅). So I don't know much of places outside of that. I was in Foca actually for a night by accident after i got stuck there by missing a bus. Was interesting, but local cops took an interest in me and weren't exactly friendly. But thats over ten years back. I definitely agree with the homestay options. I stayed with a Professor in Mostar years ago. Lovely experience. And a lady in Sarajevo treated us like royalty. Warm experience with great local insight we'd never have experienced in a hotel.

BK?! I'm pleased there's a WIMPY come back! (in the UK) plus, at the start, you obv. know your football teams, David!!

Thanks for the tour! Unfortunately as in many countries people may equate Americans with American politics and this is not the best way to gauge one's fellow men. I can understand the viewpoint after the situation in the 90's and I trust that as we evolve as human beings this will not always be the case.

Nice walkabaout, looks like a lovely city with a nice vibe.

yeh that must be a bundle of laughs living there lol

I was just watching your video with the walk through Banja Luka. I don't know if you were aware that it is formatted to not allow comments? What I was going to say about towns and cities in Croatia is that I don't like the way cyclists are allowed to ride on the pavement. I am not used to it and have been almost knocked down by bikes a few times. I'm all for bike lanes and ride a bike myself but protecting cyclists at the expense of pedestrian safety seems a step too far.

Nice to see Banja Luka when the weather is cool. Greetings to Tam 😊

thanks for showing your local town. Loved it. It is clean and I liked the atmosphere. I was once stopped by the Polish police for walking outside the road crossing. They pulled out the fine booklet, but then after appologizing they let me go.

a "baby boomer"? are you a yank?

I’m glad your ok. Please make sure you got tetanus shot. I once had an injury in my point finger I have to rush to emergency. They treated it and made sure I got tetanus shot.

I love Medjugorje. Peace with a capital P

Hello from Norway

😊

Nice .usikker with this video😊. Where did you film from? (It seems that it is not a dron

Thank you for this video. Taking a long walk in the peaceful and open fields must be exilirating for you. My knowledge about Bosnia is limited. Just wondering if ethnic prejudices still continues to exist among some communities and groups in Bosnia. I recall the news in the 1990s about Muslim community which was ethnically cleansed in Northern Bosnia. That was really a nasty thing to do. Innocent families were forceably uprooted from their ancestral homes. Is there harmony between different ethic and religious communities? How safe is the country now? Do you feel dafe? The town you live in is Muslim, Christian, or a mixture of both? Looking forward to your fresh videos.

My internet has been better lately but at one time it would drop out for hours at a time. There are multiple wifi links involved to the nearest location with fibre optic, in the next village. When I had no internet I would often watch terrestrial TV. On Croatian TV there is a fair amount of folk music, mostly involving mandolin type instruments of various shapes and sizes. I saw one of these instruments advertised in Njuskalo and it was in a nearby village, Novigrad Podravski. I have a friend in that village so we went together to see the instrument. It turned out the guy makes these instruments and he had templates etc for several other types. I have wide fingers so I thought one of the larger types with a wider fretboard would suit me better. I asked him to make one for me and he did agree but I never heard back from him.

I hope you recover fast. Nice to see you again😊

who would have thought that that metal gadget could cause such an injury, oh my...

I've fortunately not needed much medical help here in Croatia but I think the local GP did save my life. I got carbon monoxide poisoning from a blocked stove flue and it turned to pneumonia. I put off going to a doctor as I had not managed to sign up for the state health insurance service. This was due to an admin. delay with Hungary, where I had previously lived. Croatia needed a form from Hungary to say I was no longer a member of their scheme. Anyway, eventually I went to my neighbour who took me to the village doctor. I was very weak at that point but he treated the pneumonia and I recovered. They only charged me the same as a local would pay (a couple of euros) so I need not have worried about getting a huge bill.

Did it slice you to the bone or something? Careful it doesn't get you by the throat next time.

Great that it went so smoothly. I can’t think of many places where it would be so quick

Great to hrear it all worked out David. Do take care Sir. : )

The steel fragment really did a number on your finger! The medical process sounds relatively "painless". This is the difference between corporate medicine and non-corporate medicine. The situation in the US is quite different, where everything is about profit and one can be bankrupted by medical expense. Thanks for sharing.

Looks sore, glad you got all sorted from the attack of the Brillo Pad ;)

Amazing blue skies again :)

I enjoyed the walkabout. It gives one a prospective of where you live. Videos of the village, a food shopping trip, etc, would be interesting.

One topic that would be useful for anyone contemplating moving to Bosnia would be the potential pitfalls when buying property. Here in Croatia there are lots of houses and buildings that were built illegally. When I bought mine it came with a big survey document relating to the legalising of the property.

Its not so bad. My mom grew up in those parts. Winters used to be much harsher.

sretna nova godina prijatelju. puno zdravlja i srece zelim.

yes.
