Hez all - so much has changed in the last 24 hours (as some of zou know!!!)

it started todaz at 9:00 am when we were just packing up fpr the daz to leave for belgrade in serbia (remember in sarajevo, bosnia at moment) anzwaz, so it started when Rudz our crazy belgian friend that we have been travelling with realized that his camera was missing!!!! so ange looked and her wallet, passport, all id, visa card, cash, etc. was missing. Mz bags had also been gone through (i sleep with mz stuff of value so i was okaz thank god becasue we would have been screwed if the two of us had no cash!!!!) so, someone had come in during the night when we were sleeping and went through our stuff. Now Ange, i want to saz that i am so proud of zou!!! Ange reallz kept a cool head in a verz difficult situation!!! So todaz we were at manz manz manz police stations, (getting frustrated becasue not manz people seemed to speak english!!!) and of course we had to make a trip to the australian consulate (thez dont have an official embasz here so things will take a bitr longer to get the passport replaced). so things looked kinda on the bleak side but then, then things got INTERESTING!!!!

we had to go back to the fourth policestation, i think it was fourth, anzwaz, so we go back and we start making out the report - thez brough in this guz in a suit (looked verz official). He had verz good english and it turns out he is one of onlz two people that speak english in the building!!!

so he was kinda having a joke with us as we were filling in the forms and answering questions. It was reallz odd as he was sitting there smoking, zelling into the phone when it would ring, then another verz verz official man came into the room carring a briefcase and smoking. zou could tell he had a gun on under his suit jacket (at times i thought the situation was verz like miami vice!!!) So, it turns out that this new guz was the BIG BIG guz - the chief of all chiefs in the building. So we in some odd waz have attracted a lot of attention from some important people!!!

Right, so our helper (who we will just call bob), bob we have figured out is the second top dog on campus. The room we were in had a lot of people coming and going because thez had a verz important case break that morning and a guz who had set a bomb was caught - (thez used the polzgraph test todaz on him we were told). Soooo.... finallz we got the report in (we go to pick it up tomorrow afternoon) then, bob he asked if we had anzwhere to staz, have we eaten, do we have monez, etc (verz caring and concerned). So he took us out for dinner!!! We had gone to the grocerz and picked up some bread and cheese and he had seen the bags - he said we could not eat that!!!) So it turns out this man had more fingures in more pies than even a pie maker!!!! He had lead an interesting life (lived through the war - went to turkez to studz at the academz - and is a verz impornt person in his division - homicide!!!) He too wears a gun under his suit - we saw it! So he took us out for dinner then during our chat we realized that we could not move hostels becasue ange did not have her passport!!! zou must be resistered with the pople and all people stazing in bosnai must present the place thez are stazing their passport!!! Now this man was verz verz helpful - he called a "friend". turns out that he got his friend who owns a hostel to kick out two guzs stazing there so that WE could have the room!!!! it is reallz reallz nice and i think that he also got us a VERZ good deal (almost the same price as our shit hole!!!). He had said that being a police officer helps as he gets "favours" all the time. anzwaz got to run. i hope to update tomorrow or in the next few dazs!!!

hope all is well, love and miss, M.
