Dialogue #2: Who Threw Trash Down the River?
One day I was walking along to the suburb of the city to see a museum with a group of teenagers. We passed a river filled with trash because of people who were two lazy to walk a bit further to garbage bins. One of the girls (Bosniak) pointed at the river and said: “You know! We are heading toward the Republika Srpska. The Serbs here have the habit of littering the river; making the city not so nice.”
Uh! Hmm! Okay!
Bogami! I swear to my boze–when I have one–that only a few weeks after, while hanging out in Travnik, I saw a woman getting out of her house. She walked down the street and headed toward a small river. (I like watching people doing trivial things.) She opened her small plastic shopping bag, dumped then entire load into the river. Then she folded the bag and walked back home. Hmm, she even saved the garbage bag.
This area is close to the Old Town, surrounded by mosques. 82% of Travnik’s population is Bosniak. Fiddle around with probability, and you tell me about this woman I saw in Travnik.

Hm, i would say that the littering people are actually a separate nation that doesn’t have anything to do with the existing ones. Still, you won’t find this kind of behavior in Norway for example. A serious problem in the future.
Last summer when I hang vomiting from food poisoning over a railing at a parking lot with a beautiful view of Dubrovnik, I noticed a car stopping next to me. A woman got out, opened a back door, grabbed an armful of empty plastic bottles and threw them down the coast. She turned around and did it again. If I hadn’t been that weak I would have sung her some kind of song … The licence-plate was Croation btw.
viktor, in singapore, they will whip (literally) your as* for littering.
novala, i’m curious about the song you supposed to sing. haha
cd: Trash metal, of course
Hi, i live in Sarajevo. Littering here is a national hobby. It is not related to any specific nation. It is not just a problem in Bosnia, but in all Balkans countries. People here are to lazy to go to search for a trashcan. We have a beutiful country, but people here just don’t appreciate that.
