Panorama Skopje

Hallo zusammen<br><br>und Gruesse aus der mazedonischen Hauptstadt, Skopje. Die Strecken hier sind nicht besonders gross, dennoch hat der Bus fast vier Stunden von Bitola nach Skopje gebraucht. Habe hier meine erste Nacht in einem Hostel auf dieser Reise. <br><br>Skopje ist in den 60er Jahren von einem Erdbeben zerstoert wurden ...

... to lose my custom. I approached the terrified looking receptionist, who had practically shat himself when he saw my bedraggled figure cross the threshold. I'd sympathise with him more if he didn't have half a tub of hair gel on his head- that marks you out as a **** in my eyes. "Hi" I smiled "How do I get to the bus station please?" He smiled, presumably at the fact I wasn't going to kill him and pointed out on my map of Skopje where we were. I was in luck ...

... Neli. From one end to the other the city park is pretty big, it was raining so she just drove all the way around. I seen the stadium where the "football" game was. When we passed we got to see the team practicing. We headed to the restaurant where Zoran and Neli was waiting for us. We sat down at the table inside, because it was to chilly to sit outside. Zoran and Neli presented me with a gift. They got me a sweatshirt with Alexander the Great on the ...

Last night we went near the river to get a drink. We were at this sidewalk place where all up and down are restaurants. They have couches and tables outside with tents over them. They were decorated with pillows and lights. We actually didn't get drinks, instead got ice cream. I tasted three different kinds- krem brule, shumsko ovoshje,and a coffee flavored (couldn't remember name of it)- We went to The Irish Pub! As ...

... it up. Might be arrested and inprisoned tomorrow cause we havent registered with the police yet (we were supposed to do it within 3 days of arriving). Been listening to alot of new music given to me by some nice kids. Trying to keep track of what I like and dont. Kinda ready to be home. Enjoy the photos. They get worse and worse every day hah.

... hair is still slightly wet and it's cold out. Yes, thank you ma'am, but you see, I go to school in Canada. It's not too cold for wet hair until it freezes in a matter of seconds, and even then, if I'm late for class, I'll make an exception. Don't you worry. I won't catch my death of pneumonia on your watch. See? The sun's coming out. It's a decent walk to the main square, where I cross the Karmen Most (bridge) to the Carsija (old town). Everything ...

... harmonie, when they are arguing. They of course find it incredible funny. But also cool things have happened. I went to see the Netherlands one month ago. I got so much energy and new perspective from the lovely people i met again, bedankt! No wonder that i got also some flashbacks from the ever-sunny spring days when sitting/standing on the back of the folder bicycle with or without the crutches though Amsterdam. And much more. But memories are good. They form stories ...

... come, communist leaders will perch on its balcony and enflame the masses down, Simplon-Orient Express trains in persian-blue will pass by with English ladies sipping their Earl Gray tea on the road to Istanbul and we would be so very excited entering the trains which would carry us to the big wild West. That is where my and the fabulous trip of 29 other students and James Leach as ...

... because things are just so different. I wouldn't like to say that some things are worse than, say, in Finland, but that they just need a bit another kind of acting than what I'm used to have. For example our hosting organisation is not the most loyal one, money is simply playing too important role and, therefore, affecting on the conditions of the volunteers as well. It seems to me, that i have to kind of learm to play in their rules and not to be too honest, now matter ...

... wearing worn out shoes for too long,and exac**bated by a climb of Mount Olympus in Greece 2 1/2 weeks before.How much easi** that had been! This was beginning to have all the elements of a forced march,and we had ev**y reason to be grateful for the outstretched helping hands of the rebel soldi**s when they came back for us and dragged us up the slopes.I've always thought that I was fit,but they had great strength,and must have been feasting on carrots ...
