Hi again!! I am writing this from the Dubrovnik airport…I get to Prague tonight! My time with Professor Metcalf and the other students in this program has been amazing. We went to Sarajevo, Bosnia for several days, which I greatly enjoyed! Some other international students from the Balkan region: Croatia, Serbia, North Macedonia, etc., were with us for the second part of the week during courses. I loved meeting these students and look forward to following where life takes them via social media.
“Solidarity” in this region is difficult to explain because of the tension in the region between different ethnicities and religions. This tension is evident when speaking about the Balkan region with locals or seeing propaganda in the street. That said, we saw the countries come together during the Eurocup games! The town proudly displayed flags, wore face paint, had restaurant specials, and showed up for their team.
I am excited to begin my next program in Prague!
