I don't know if this was supposed to be a joke or not, but Bosnians are not Arab at all.
Oh and linguistically, culturally and politically for much of the 20th century, Czech Republic is as much Eastern Europe as Poland or even western Ukraine. Away from Prague, there isn't much between it and the poorer countries in the region at all. |

Your point being?
You're ing delusional, where in the have I said anything negative about Bosnia?
And sure, you're not "sand ******s" per se, as you oh so eloquently put it. You're roman and arab, if anything, but I'm not really in the mood for discussing filiation, and I have no idea why you've brought it up.
My point was that Czhechia was not Eastern Europe, going by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names' definition, does not include Czechia, and they're not only far apart, but argueably on different levels of cultural maturity.
But for the sake of the argument; All bosnians are retarded and you can't one single house in that country that isn't falling off it's foundation because bosnians knows all about carpentry. Also they have this weird smell that noone have the guts to tell them about. |
God damn Alfi :stongue:
My point in that first paragraph was that Bosnia, as well as Czech Republic, isn't really an eastern european country. South eastern Europe, aka the Balkans are in their own league of awesomeness and levels of being ed up.
Bosnians are not romans nor arabs, it is a southern Slavic nation, but sure it has a somewhat big arabic minority.
Also, I'm not Bosnian.
The part about terrible housing isn't really far from the truth, though. :p
The main reason for my post was irritation caused by a lot of people who caught someone on TV in mid-90es saying something about a "war in bosnia", and automatically connected bosnia to some other third world/arab countries that had the similar problems in the late 20th century, and then went on and applied a fair amount of prejudice towards it.
Let's not ruin this thread further, sorry Lews. |

No, it doesn't. There is Muslim minority, but they are not Arabs. They are Slavs who converted to Islam during the rule of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The Turks who colonized the country were not Arabs either.
The only Arab presence throughout history in Bosnia were the "Mujahideen" who fought during the Bosnian war in the 90s, mainly a bunch of Saudis with no connection to the area and whom had no business having any part in the war. |

Yeah, you are right, Muslim minority. |

No worries; I figured the COR would start spouting random , anyways.
Thanks for the advice, though, various people. Debating between Berlin, Paris, and Prague, now :) |

I was leaning heavenly towards Prague, but then some girls asked me to come to Paris with them for their protection :o
So... what do I need to do/see in Paris? |

September 28 - October 1.
Not a super long trip, I know, but should be a good time.
Definitely going to the Louvre :) |

| The Louvre was nice, and it was a nice performance piece. But I don't know how they manage to employ such a great number of people just to stand around street corners and then into some impenetrable maze of people right in front of the entrance to some museum. I guess I'll never get those beurre loving frenchies. |

| Damn, you chose Paris, I was going to say Prague cause I am still debating applying for a job there (and by apply I am pretty sure it'd be a walk in and they'd be like "finally" type of thing) and a Seattlites perception of it would be neat. |
