Saturday in Skopje.

We are pretty tired after last night long long party and wont be up to much today. Plus the little we did happened about a month before the day i am writing this and not everything stayed in my memory. I can remember however that we went out in the park next doors with Tonin and Aurelie. A nice park where we come across a dog that looked very much like a wolf. Probably half wolf or one quarter wolf. H was held on a damn big chain but seemed to be pretty well dresser. Otherwise the park seemed pretty much deserted and we understood later why. When we tell a friend of Aurelie who also lives in Avtokomanda thet we went there, he says “ah the forest with Albanians...” What? i knew only of forest with trees :) It seems that it is not a safe place, at least so do the locals believe. Albanian go there to shoot around with their weapons and steal from people walking around with computer and cameras... What do you think is the part of truth in this? I had my camera along, and still have it and we didn't hear any gunfire...
At night we go out for the beer fest, it is a major event in Skopje. We walk a bit in town and are a bit disappointed, the streets are pretty empty. Well we soon find out that it is not because this Saturday, everyone decided to stay home but because the whole youth of Skopje is at the beer fest! The kitschy rock on the live stage is not so convincing, we drink a Chimay... mmm long time no good beer! And then move to the Dj scene, to our surprise, they are playing Seeed , Raggasonic and Spook and the Guay amongst other European reggae artists.
We are t tired to take it late into the night but still appreciate a bit of the live Gypsy music on the live stage before taking a cab home. Taxis are really cheap in Skopje, especially at night when there is no traffic and we get home for less than a euro.
