    personal highlights

    1. Bosnian War: struggle in 1992 for independence against Yugoslavia
    2. Siege of Sarajevo: half a million citizens cut off and besieged for 1'425 days
    3. Tunnel of Hope: the only way in and out of the doomed city, hand digged by locals
    4. Tunnel Museum: walking through parts of the original tunnel in a private home
    5. Convertible Mark: the last currency (from 1998) that reminds of the German Mark
