Some of you may not know that Bosnia, for the most part, is still mainly a cash society. Very few people have ATM cards or credit cards. Knowing this Stacy and I always try to keep some cash on us. Last week, when Stacy went out to buy some stuff for the kitchen she found herself without any cash when she got to the cash register. She asked the clerk if she could pay with a bank card or credit card. The lady looked at her and said, "oh, you come in here often enough. I'll just write it down and you come pay later." The owner was also standing there and nodded approvingly. Stacy got store credit à la the General Store from Little House on the Prairie! The funny thing, Stacy said, is that she has only been to that store like 5 times in the last year. I guess you could say we're succeeding in being accepted in our community.
