Rose Diplomatique Skopje

... und viele Shops, die Alstadt ist eine Fussgaengerzone. Viele Touristen gibt es nicht, daher richtet sich die Altstadt an die Einheimischen. Ueberragt wird das ganze von einer Burg.<br> <br><br>Alles in allem ganz nett aber natuerlich nicht ueberragend. Morgen geht es weiter, naechste Stadt, naechstes Land:-)<br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf

... of people were in that. I eventually came to the river and saw that there was a road sign on the other side pointing left with the word "railroad station". Good enough for me- Skopje's bus and train station are connected. I crossed the bridge and got the strange feeling I wasn't alone. I shrugged it off, it was 3am, I was lost and tired, of course my mind was playing tricks on me. I turned around. I wasn't alone. About twenty yards behind me, trundling ...

... that I didn't get a little tipsy. I really enjoy Marija's father, he seems good at heart and a people person. After dinner, we got dessert and this one dessert has a very naughty name- Tufakija- just say it real slow and you will get the picture.. anyways, they told me about this dessert, so I had to try. It was okay, but I probably wouldn't get it again. Coming to the end, Zoran made a speech. He told me that he was very glad that I came here to ...

... perfume from her as a gift. Then she took me to the police station to turn myself in...No I didn't do anything! I have 3 days to report to police of where I am staying in the country. See Big Brother is here too!!! We went in the police station and I wasn't really scared but I didn't understand anything. Marija's mom had to write out the information in their language which looks really cool. I have this certificate ...

... to stick me in a swimming pool with a few lights while spouting bs electrical theory), but I did refuse to ride the dolly and pull focus while the actors (who by the way had no demolition experience) drilled jackhammers into the collumn supporting the ceiling over our heads. Luckily no one was hurt but in a few days we actually blow the place up so im hoping it stays that way and if I feel that its not safe I will have ...

... be making a fair bit of money off his crowd's incorrect guesses, too. He's certainly more successful than the other merchants on the bridge, peddling skin-tight exercise shirts or knee braces. My first stop in Carsija is Sveti Dimitrija, a lovely 1886 Orthodox church, where I say a morning prayer. The icons are less inundated with smoke than those in Sofia and there's a marvelous spiral staircase leading to the pulpit. Back outside, I stop to look at ...

... to take a bath etc. Locals are cool. It was laso nice that Liisa saw how I'm living here, heard all the stories and so on. So many things seem to me so surrealistic here and i have no idea how I will tell about all this to everybody so that they understand. But to be honest, they cannot understand and i cannot expect them to understand. Perhards the main thing is that i try to understand, to understand myself. When it comes to understanding (once again) , the ...

Dear all, first of all, thanks for all the positive and supportive e-mails i have got. They help so much. :) You cannot imagine. Last time I was al little bit uncertain about what would happen in this microcosmos called Struga, but after all, there were no explosion or end of the world. I was more or less seriously thinking about the point of being here, but here I am and will be. We have had problems, and my flatmate and the coolest and strongest girl ever Barbara moved to ...

... exchange to Novi Sad, Serbia. it was interesting, the topic of the exchange was prejudice, and in the end we figured out that the prejudice were confirmed, not broken. But that's how it goes. I faced real intercultural misunderstandings with the Macedonian group leader, who didn't like, when i questionized his auctority. We also faced heavy language problems and one Maria was simply too direct. I should start to understand that i'm not in the Netherlands or in Finland ...

... eventually of the airport and Kumanovo,and the roads that run at right angles between them.Traffic still passed between them,and I thought how easy it would be for the rebels to attack this road if they wanted to,and the illuminated dinky cars that travelled the highways. I also rememb**ed back to the previous few days spent in Macedonia,as we walked,mostly in silence.I had ent**ed the country from Albania,crossing from Pogradec to Sveti Naum and along ...
