Crazy hectic summer days ...

Whew peeps, it has been crazy for a while now. My organization has become under-staffed and I have so much more to do these days. Despite it all, I am still the best dressed in the office ;) But, also one of the most over-utilized staff member also. I often get home late but my work is good so I am not complaining. I promise to post up some new pictures of Pristina and my travels soon. I need to breath first though.

In a sad update, I heard yesterday that a young and dedicated Kosovo Police Officer was killed yesterday. That is really sad especially considering he was so young and Kosovan gang members (mafia) are suspected to have murdered him :( More on this can be found here.

Happy Belated ...

... Birthday, that is. To none other than the "come-back kid" himself, Billy Clinton. Kosovo dua Bill Clinton like nothing else ... so much that a birthday bash was thrown for him ne Prishtine this past weekend. I missed the festivities but I heard it was the party to be seen at during the weekend ;). Damn, Billy, you just refuse to die from the limelight, even in the Balkans. More on the festivities here.

I am back... this time

Don't leave, don't leave ... I made it back to my love, Prishtina. I am sorry about the absence of posts but I was on vacation. Who works during vacation? Yeah, you ....

Here are some initial photos of aerial views of Kosovo and the airport :)

I am not really back...

It's been quiet here a bit. It is because I had to run home (Boston / NYC) at the beginning of this week to take care of some personal stuff. I am still in the US and it's both enjoyable and hectic. For one, I do appreciate the joy of being in an environment where I understand what almost everyone is saying. I will have to seriously start learning Albanian and Serbian when I get back to Prishtina.

Hope y'all have not forgotten me. Keep your emails and comments coming. I will soon post some questions I have received and my answers to them. E dua Kosovo ... heaven help us all!!!
