| S director with 'ice and drink' |
After I 93rd had to leave her hometown, destiny brought me through Zagreb to America, country of which I never thought as a place of my stay and that made me, I must be honest, not particularly attracted. American metropolis with a downtown-there are similar to each other like peas in a pod, jam on the road to capitalism in its true sense, they were not on my wish list, but sometimes a man can not choose. Between life under constant fear for the safety of families, in an environment full of hatred toward those who are not their own, no job and no support, chose the more favorable options: in my case, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , a city once known for numerous steel mills and polluted air, and now as a place that is struggling to "survive" in competition with cities on the west coast and southern states, which have become life's a destination for many Americans.
Today I wanted to write a few words about the people from my 'other life' as the name of this year in America (after I 'friendly' was 'prompted' the path of no return by the former citizens of that should now everybody without exception should talk all the best in the name of a future of love and because of "possible trauma 'of young people in his hometown of whose problems are' spiritual development 'are responsible for continually spread the hatred as opposed to' good 'vibrations of love that from him, sire), although I have but in some earlier contributions mentioned. About my director, Professor Liu, his assistant, Mr. Rau, or the Director of Public Services Tsegaye Beru-in, with whom I share a good part of life the last 15 years, I wrote almost nothing even though they have been long time part of my everyday life: cooperate with them, make decisions or conflicts of opinion, solve problems, go to professional conferences, we help each other when needed, in short, live life away from the birth of cities and countries that we left because of various reasons.
my director, Professor Liu, a China left a long time ago, while he was still a child, fleeing with his mother and other family members before the policy of strict communist regime that was in the time existed in China. First stop was their Taiwan where he graduated from college and then they found themselves in America, which for many people from these regions the ultimate goal in life. Professor Liu is the new country fare too well, thanks primarily to its persistence, that is, I think, inherent in most of those coming from the most populous nation in the world. His successful career will probably end up in the library of the legal School, whose director is successful for many years. This clip from a recent party library that is organized every year for final-year students who work for us is, in fact, gave rise to this contribution. Chatting with food and drink (in my hand is Yuingling , Pittsburgh, Nectar, a product of the oldest brewery in America) I learned to be ready to visit Taiwan for the first time since he came to America.
life Deputy Director Rao's was different. In India, where he was born, has graduated from college and master's degree, and reached the position of director of a university library but still decided to go to America at the urging of his brother who is the new home came before him. Life in America, it is not rough because he had to start from the beginning: he was poorly paid jobs (sometimes two at a time) while studying at the faculty for librarians. Nakog graduation took him many years to fight for a position where it is now. Long worked partime job in our library for a very small salary, but he does eventually pay off. He got a steady job, and after some time, because of their knowledge and hard work, he was appointed Deputy Director. It is a great friend, a real paradise, favored by all, and it can rely whenever I need something. Past year or two we spend a lot of time together and often pension plan which is both ready in the near future.
Tsegaye Beru had similar life time as Rao although the reasons for departure from Ethiopia a little different. University graduates still in Ethiopia, he found himself in America, partly as a result of changes in the former homeland, partly because of the desire to succeed in the promised land. I graduated from college here is a (legal) and working at the library, advancing from temporary job to its current position.
I'm in the library came last, with the other end of the world. About Bosnia here (before the nineties) was little known until this last war, which has put us on the world map so that others I had to explain where I come from and why: News from our region have been shown every day on all television stations displaying all the horrors war that left tens of thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced.
So that's a combination of circumstances in one place Find us four, from four countries in the world, in a manner similar fate, in whose hands the library of an American university. Four of us have a significant impact on the fate of the institution last 15-20 years. For a great miracle, the library is now 'good shape', although not in the hands of locals. Maybe so because of this fact: we know what happened in our town with the big companies (and universities are in better condition) after being 'taken' 'tested' domestic staff.
In this story about raji from work is another interesting fact: all three of them with great respect talk about ex-Yuga and its former president, Josip Broz Protection. Tsegaye with enthusiasm the story of Tito's visits to Ethiopia and his meetings with the emperor Hajlaselasijem. In Ethiopia, the days of our visit, the President declared public holidays. Rao remembers movement nesrvstanih and Tito's role in its formation (along with the President of India's Nehru and Egypt, Nasser), and even Professor Liu speaks positively about it despite his bad experience with communist rule in China.
The popularity of our former country covered in an event with a party by Professor Liu is organized every year in his home during the regular visiting Chinese professors to our faculty. One year was among the present and one professor (a follower of Confucius), who showed great interest in me When he found out that I came from Bosnia. Speaking during a dinner the professor asked many questions about the situation in the former Yugoslavia of which is obviously knew a lot and talked about with respect to Tito. When I told him at one point mentioned the film ' Valter Defends Sarajevo' , for which I have heard that it became a big hit in China, as the thrilled that I was simply surprised. He spoke with enthusiasm about Walter who was for many Chinese became a national hero. It turned out that the stories I've heard is true and that the popularity of the film in China was enormous.

| Tsegaye, myself and Rao |
day before yesterday I dropped in the manager's office to say goodbye because they both prepare for your journey on to China (and then in Taiwan), and I was in Ireland. Going back to my office I have been thinking about our fate: we both survived a difficult period, full of suspense, but in the end for both of us all ended well. The fate of us join in one city in America, with another two whose life stories are similar. We have found so four of us in the same 'company', the four countries, with different colored skin and religious beliefs and nothing it does not matter that we feel as part of a family. And down in the old country, in Bosnia, and on many Internet forums, the gang from the same city, neighborhood, business, still broken spears, ubjedjujuci another that can not be together.
I will be so for a long, long time, as long as the culprits for the war and the suffering is not received retribution (legal and moral) and until one day we all realize that we can relieve some of the blame just because they are 'our 'or because it' those others' work. Walter apparently still has a legend about it will slowly fall into oblivion as the years pass and those who remember with longing to disappear from the face of this earth.
A song you hear in the background -in has nothing to do with rayah from work, even with Valter, but somehow we sit today, while Pittsburgh in the rain falls for days.
