Thank you Dave and your good lady for the interesting talks about a wonderful country which I grew to fall in love with. My experience of Bosnia began in 1993 in Gorazde where I served with the UN, then again in 1994-1995 in Gorni Vakuf as UN then NATO. All in all I served a total of 2,5 years with my last tour 2000 in Banja Luka in the metal factory. The country has left an ever lasting impression on me that I will never forget. It great to hear your stories of you living there wish I had done the same many years ago.

Hello Ian. @signifer Great to hear of your positive memories from your time here back in the late '90's. I arrived here in September '98 with SFOR as well . I am a UK Vet. I would definitely recommend visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina to Americans to visit. In fact we have a holiday apartment upstairs (there's a link in the navigation bar) and there's another US vet that was here during the same time as you I think, who comes to stay with his family. They love it here. Ian, drop me a line at: david@anenglishmaninthebalkans.com. I'd like to gift you a subscription where you can access everything. In the meantime thanks for following my continuing journey from this part of the world. Bests, David
