e!
There´s always something else to learn...

I should have write about this about a month ago… anyway, here it is:

It felt so AIESECy walking around Skopje, especially in the company of Brazilian, a Portuguese, a Peruvian, a Serbian, a Bosnian, a Mexican, a British, and an Indian... of course it was after IPM, so no wonder such a diverse group.

We didn't actually have a plan. We started walking and we ended up going some ruins of what seeming to be a Fort. Later I found out it was Tvrdina Kale.

Kale fortress is situated on a hill in the middle of Skopje and dominates this whole portion of the Vardar valley. Archaeological excavations has revealed traces of habitation from the late neolithic and early bronze ages.

Walking around the Fort, I couldn't help but thinking: how such a young nation (only 15 years old) can have such a vast history. I was also wondering why I don't know in deep the history of my country? Shame on my educational system? No. A friend once told me: never let your educational system keep you from learning.

After that pleasant walk, we went to have lunch, something very typical of Macedonia, but I don't remember the names, I only know it has been the only time I've tasted white beans and actually liked them.

After lunch, part of the group head to the airport and the Brazilian, Portuguese, Peruvian, Serbian, Bosnian and I decided to take a "religious tour" we went to an Orthodox Church, actually to two of them. Then we went to a Mosque, and we finalize our trip going to a Catholic church. We actually looked for a synagogue but we didn't find one =(.

Seeing the differences… just made me be sure that I'm happy with what I believe in.
