One misreading of the adventures of recent years would be that the recent Balkan odysseys were the salto mortale, the one great sojorun out into the world, never to be repeated. In essence, I found that it was possible (though just barely so, and not at all in a sustainable manner) to live on the amount of money I had by living in inexpensive apartments in Bosnia, Serbia, Romania, etc., and as an added bonus, theatre, opera, and symphony tickets were around $5, so it was possible to have a proper cultural life as well. Rather enjoyed it, and certainly hoping to repeat the experience, if my fortunes here continue to be as they have been.
