this was my first time to visit s.eastern europe…and a wonderful visit. it was almost like stepping back in time from my cushy western world! i want to do this more often! not for the ‘exoticness’ of it, but to meet people and learn about cultures that are different from mine!
i would recommend visiting the old turkish part of skopje…near the fort. i don’t know the official name of the area, but we had the best food and met the most wonderful people there!
