Kante za BiH

I visited Han restaurant on Mt. Bjelasnica the other day for the first time. I followed its construction and, from day 1, thought the idea was more of an eye sore than a meaningful contribution to the blasphemy called Babin Do. The white metal covering of the ENTIRE building is supposed to represent a white hijab. Clever, perhaps. But a white metal facade on a structure in the middle of an alpine valley…sorry…doesn't work for me.

I later found out it was the design of Zec. That surprised me. I love the man's work. I guess you can't love everything an artist does. This would be the one for me.

Just before the opening, maybe a year ago,  I was passing Babin Do on my way to Umoljani. I saw all my favorite poli-criminals from Stranke za BiH. I whispered to myself that i would never visit that place. Well, I broke that promise yesterday.

So we've got the white metal facade. The place doesn't serve alcohol either. Which, to be totally honest, doesn't bother me in the slightest. The hypocrisy does. So the hijab covered building that serves no alcohol is filled with chain smoking punters. Red Bull and Coca Cola are of no offense either. I'm no theologist but I'm sure I read the part about intoxicants in the Q'uran. Cigarettes, red bull, and coca cola, would all qualify as having addictive and harmful qualities.

I can now hear the convenient arguments of ‘but the Q'uran prohibits the use of intoxicants that are harmful to oneself AND to others.’ Perhaps. So maybe we can throw my red bull and cola complaint out. But the ciggies. Uh-uh! Sorry…i'm a yank, can't beat me on the second hand smoke argument…or a dozen others related to the evil cancer sticks. So instead of this clean, pure, atmosphere to enjoy nature one walks into a smoke pit where even the waiters openly smoke at the bar. pravi dzenet!

But that's not even the biggest thorn in my side….it's the fact that the ‘muslimani na baterija’ Stranke za BiH are behind this project. That party…as any of you who have read me know…should be renamed to Kante za BiH.

I love election years.
