today the official mourning for the victims of the flood in south asia took place in the member states of the european union. also here, in this spa close to the border with germany a three minutes mourning took place. via loudspeakers the guests were asked to remember; but how did people react? whereas some of them made the impression to be embarrased by this unusual demand, others obviously showed that they were not willing to undergo such "sentimental" procedures. but there were also very touching scenes. there was this mother sitting down, her face covered with her hands in silent sadness or even pain. her mentally disabled daughter embraced her to comfort her, repeatingly asking mother what bad things might have happened to her.

Official mourning, Bosnian way
You would not believe it, in Bosnia there were no 3 minutes mourning.
Today, i.e. yesterday, they said Bosnia will morn 3 minutes on Saturday at 13.00.
Some people - me among them - are consternated with the way officials and NGO's reacted here to this tragedy that took as many victims in 4 minutes, as the war in Bosnia did in 4 years!!!
