Imperial Hotel Skopje

... to have its own aisle so it's safely quarantined away from Americans?

I guess I should have been tipped off by the cartoon fish on the lid, but nowhere on it was a picture of a cat. Come to think of it, the can was identical to that Fancy Feast stuff back home but again, in Poland people food comes packaged the same way. Yeah, I ate half the can before she stopped me so I am anxiously waiting for my coat to get all shiny and ...

... has entirely different connotations. I don't know about the music or the food, but the women certainly seem to exude a certain fashionable sexiness that I haven't elsewhere in the Balkans... or much of anywhere for that matter... and we're in the bus station for God's sake! But such things hardly interest me any more these days... yeah, right. This is Cyrillic country now, everything written in the alphabet that the first ...

même le blogue est en retard car il ne reconnait pas wncorw le kocovo comme un pays... j,ai quitte prizren ce matin car il y a bien peu a visiter... je suis rendu a ckopje la capitale de la macedoine ou il n.y a pas grand chosw a voir non plus, ou le ciel annonce se la pluie et il fait froid... alors j,ai decide de me rendre tout-de-suite a ohrid, une station balneaire censee etre ...

... us lunch at one of the restaurants in the town. Pastrmajlija looked similar to our pizza. Kinda of, similar but the taste was much different. They usually only serve Pastmajlija in the winter months, but Zoran had asked the restaurant to make it so I can try them. They had smoked meat on the bread and mine came with egg as well. I completely stuffed myself, but was easily distracted with the "bees" that wanted our food. I finally gave up ...

... Nestle. I suppose it was awkward for Suzana to take me, cause we couldn't understand each other, so I wasn't very hurt when she asked them to take me when we met up later in the store. After getting lots of stuff, Sashe drove us home. Back at "home" we are planning to watch a movie and just relax through the evening til we lay our heads down to rest. Sorry, not much to write today..... but til I write tomorrow have a good one. * No pictures today

... except them ???!!!) It's a city of about 700 000 souls,situated on the upper course of Vardar River and on the mayor route between Belgrade and Athens. It's has been inhabited since 3500 b.c., remains of Neolithic settlements have been found nearby. In early medieval era it was contested between Byzantine and Bulgarian Empire,but in 1392 it was occupied by Ottoman Empire, and it was under Ottomans for 500 years, what resulted with many Islam and ottoman style ...

... didn't seem to help either - especially since that's been a feature of every urban environment I've been in over the past two weeks. Skopje has failed to make the least bit of an impression on me. As a matter of fact, I'm feeling a little underwhelmed with Macedonia overall. Nice people, good, cheap food, pretty countryside and all, but it just doesn't quite do it for me. Ohrid was pretty and all - and it was easily the highlight of the country, in my book - but even there it came up ...

My friends have always held a position that they absolutely need to be continuously more than politely sincere with me. It is not very easy to keep both (the friends and their suchlike sincerity) for very long time (some sixty years now) but we have managed. You are burdened with this bit of **** because more than one of them told me that they would never accept to endure what I go through just to "fly to Australia". They told me they would million times better prefer ...

... It was also pretty cool to see new bmws, parked next to old Yugos, which are then parked next to a horse and cart. This is a supposedly modern city and yet there are still horses roaming around town? When is the last time you saw a horse and buggy in a modern town, outside of those that carry tourists around? It is also fun to barter for everything. Our first night there, we just wanted to get away and ended up paying the taxi driver 5 euros for a 5 minute ride. On the way out of ...
