Who could resist a pink hand? In Novi Sad, Serbia, this sign welcomes you in Serbian, Hungarian, German, English, and Croatian. Serbian and Croatian are basically one language with two alphabets. It was once known as 'Serbo-Croatian', but the languages divorced simultaneously with the countries. Split custody of the irregular verbs?
Tuzla... Small Bosnian city.... That's where Hillary Clinton mis-remembered having ducked sniper bullets... Similar to what happens with childhood anecdotes in many families, the embellishments become the memories...
