Hotel Nais Skopje

... like molim (please) and hvala (thank you). Just the tiniest attempt broke the ice. I just can't believe how nice everyone was there. That leads me to my sixth realization about traveling in Europe in the summertime:<br><br> 6. The further south you travel, the more uncomfortable the climate. However, the further south you travel, the warmer and more friendly the people become. This is so far from cold and ...

... 6.30pm). Undaunted by this unexpected set back I headed into the nearby Havana cocktail bar- which was heaving with life, scores of Macedonians sat on the outdoor frescoes drinking beer and other more exotic drinks, I went and sat on a stool by the bar. "Your best Albanian beer please" I smiled, completely forgetting what country I was in and the tensions they had with the Albanians. The barman turned to me, slightly confused; "You say Albanian beer ...

... at what time. We were greeted by Marija's friend Aneta, who works there in the museum. Then I got an explanation of how the museum is set up and while Marija went to visit with her friend, I got to roam around the museum. Of course there were some things I could not read, but for the most part they had posted english versions. I did come across some of the items that were mislabeled. Not that I am an expert, but when ...

... up to me what is important for the story, and I have to figure it all out not understanding a single word of dialogue (its mostly albanian, which, coincedently, the director doesnt speak either. Haha). Catering has just taken a dive the last few weeks. The food is terrible. Most of the crew leaves for lunch and comes back with all kinds of wierd fast food. Yesterday I had this strange macrobiotic vegetarian ...

... when he says "This is Fantastige!" Today: 5 days of shooting, 3 reds. Today we got our newest camera, and it has problems very similar to our first camera. When we boot up the camera, the monitor doesnt really work and we just have to press all the buttons really fast at random, then plug and unplug it until it starts working. And every time we change batteries (every 15 minutes) we are stuck ...

... everywhere in big old two litre plastic bottles for less than two dollars. We purchase one, lug it down to the river and guzzle it like teenagers. All the Muslim and Hindu countries had such a negative position regarding alcohol - where it wasn't prohibited it felt like it was reluctantly tolerated - so to see it so openly encouraged here makes us want to go and get drunk. One way you can tell you are in Eastern Europe ...

... they rose up and killed as many Turks as they could in a bunch of bombing attacks on Turkish ships. The Turks called in the French for help and the French shelled the rebels. The rebellion was crushed. Gotse was actually killed before the insurrection began, but he was still their hero. We met some Germans who were driving around the Balkans in a camper van and chatted until the church closed. Unfortunately for us, that was at three ...

... said that we all look discouraged and that's difficult to watch. First i was thinking I'm sad because I missed Finland and Amsterdam. But this is far more than that, unfortunately. Maybe it will be better, I will have patience to see, i will. Because Macedonia is beautiful, people are friendly and the language is so cool. That is something. And you cool people there, don't worry about me. I will write you more soon. :)

... Is the Canadian market so dense that there are no jobs for performers? Or is it perhaps that entertainers are just a lost cause and should never rely on it as a primary job? I would think that if you're not getting enough business that you have to go to Skopje for tips only, then it's about time you give up your dreams and realize that yes, your dream job is great, but it's no way to put food on the table. (music doesn't put food on the table - but neither does that ugly dress. ;))
