Sarajevo..first ever oversea trip

I was luckily chosen to represent UKM, or Malaysia to be specific in the Bascarsija Nights Festival held in Sarajevo, Bosnia Herzegovina. It was a wonderful experience that i wont forget for the rest of my life. Being in Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia, made me literally cry. There are a lot of building which is still damaged due to the war which started in 1992 until 1995. Marks from the shooting are still apparent and it reflects just how terrifying the war was. No no no... i wont be lecturing on the war. Instead, I want to share with all the joy I had in Sarajevo. Well, if you don't include the issue on finance, I think everything would be perfect. The place, a 4-season-country that i've always wanted to go to and the view, very beautiful landscape and buildings. However, when you take into consideration the issue of finance, life would be miserable. Their 1 KM is equal to RM2.50 in which one of the things that cost 1KM was a scope of ice cream. So a scope of an ice-cream is therefore cost RM2.50. What do you think??? Crazy, isn't it. But then again, I wasn't going to shop. I had a mission. AADYAMAATRA has been chosen to represent MALAYSIA to perform cultural dance for the Bascarsija Nights there. We were very honored to be selected among many other excellent dance group in Malaysia. It was a big responsibility and we were frightened that we would not perform as what is expected by the organizer as well as the Malaysian Embassy. We were so glad when the organizer and the Malaysian Embassy praised us for the job well done. I was on cloud 9 upon hearing that from the Malaysian Ambassador himself. The sweetest memories would be the gathering we had with The Ambassador and wife, 2nd person of the Embassy, wife and 2 lovely daughters, 3rd person of the embassy and wife and the members of the embassy. We had so much fun.
