I haven't been to Skopje since my return to Kosovo. I like Skopje. I like that there's bacon. I like that there's a movie theater. I like that I can wander around the city and there are suitable sidewalks to walk along. The leaves should also be changing and brilliant. When I first went to Skopje this time last year, I was so happy to be out of Kosovo. A lot has happened in a year, and I've not only adjusted to life in Prizren, but I am enjoying it. I no longer see Skopje as the great escape necessary to keep me sane.
That said, I'm looking forward to going. I am presenting at a conference on Saturday, so I'll head out tomorrow (Friday) and hop back on Sunday. I've already mapped out my eating plan: sushi, a burrito, and maybe some vegetarian food. I'll be parking my head at the Hotel 903-ta, which still seems to be one of the best hotel deals in the city. Yeah, the Best Western and the Holiday Inn boast, well, Best Western and Holiday Inn standards (and they have bathtubs), but those places go for 100 Euros per night more. That's 200 Euros. That's a lot of sushi and burritos. Plus, the 903-ta is clean, on a quiet street, and the staff are friendly. What more could a gal ask for?
