The story so far: Joel Jackson and his wife Anya are traveling throughout Europe in search of a new life. Life has been pretty tough on the two of them as make their way through war-torn Bosnia and Croatia.
Dear Eric’s Blog
I have not heard from you in a while via email so I thoght I’d write your blog instead. My Name is Joel and I’m lost in the Balcans with my wife Anya. We spend some time in post War torn Sarajevo, Bosnia living off cheap beer and a lamb-pork dish called Êivap ËiËi most likely spelled wrong…. cevap cici..whatever. It’s tough living in a city that has no record stores no nightclubs (at least none worth mentioning) and worst of all shitty internet. Even worse is the fact that we have no reason to leave free rent cheap everything. We could deal with all its’ downsides if there were any jobs at all (foreigners or locals, they’re mostly unemployed.) So with that said we left. To the Land of milk and honey Croatia, Zagreb the capital. We’ve been here for a few days now and have been feverishly looking for an aparment. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a great record store, lots of nightclubs, high speed internet….but No apartments (at least none worth mentioning.) Oh, and Job Prospects look great. Now with our hotel bill climbing faster than Bosnia’s National debt, and the fact that immigration requires you to have an address we’re facing the possibility of going Back to Bosnia to make a new plan. Oh the Irony of it all.
Smell ya later,
Joel
