When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kigali uses the RWF (Fr) and Sarajevo uses the BAM (KM). Language shifts too — English in Kigali, Bosnian in Sarajevo. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.
