Hi, it’s David here, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and Rakija, the podcast where I share my life as an Englishman living in the beautiful and sometimes surprising Balkans.
I'll be sharing stories from the perspective of an over 70's guy, living in rural Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me.
I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today.
In this video I share my experiences with local customs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly the concepts of 'zrak' and 'promaja.'
As someone over 70, adapting to these cultural nuances is both amusing and perplexing.
I discuss the tradition of airing out homes in the morning and the age-old warning against drafts, which apparently can make you sick.
As I reflect on these cultural differences,
I invite you to share your own funny stories about promaja. It's a beautiful sunny Sunday, and I hope this video finds you well. Stay safe, and I'll see you again soon!
