Main square Skopje, on the anniversary of a famous Macedonian singer: Torsha(?)

A cathedral at some unknown time in the morning

For some reason before hitting Skopje I was warned to not even stay a night, that its not worth it and I completely disagree, I had a killer time. As I said in the last post I was going to spend a couple nights in Ohrid but a girl told me about a festival in Skopje called White Night. Its just a big festival started for no reason other than to drink lots and bar crawl (all are open all night), both are things that I’ve never done before.

Me and her hit the bus station around 6 and were approached by a taxi driver. Now cab drivers around here are your best friend before they slap you with the glove of injustice and take your money. This guy was a total saint though, for a few extra euro than a bus, he drove us to Skopje about an hour earlier than the bus wouldve done it in.

The festival was wild. With rakija flowing through my veins I showed the locals a few things about shindigs, or they showed me I’m not too sure.

Sorry Goron, ol Cody boarded that train long before Skopje.

The rest of the city is really easy to get around. Really wish we had more pedestrian friendly areas in the centre back home. They also have a million (not quite) or so statues built in the last couple years to draw in tourists. The locals hate them because of the wasteful spending, I like them because they’re gigantic.

Currently in Nis, Serbia sitting in the centre really wanting sleep. First pastries. Then sleep.
