My first Month in Macedonia :) (1st part)

My first perspective…

Almost two months ago I made an important decision… I decide to apply for an international leadership position after my term as MCP, the country where I applied was The Republic of Macedonia.

Currently, on my first month living in Skopje, I want to share my first impression of the country, the MC, and me itself as AIESECer working as MC abroad.
Lest start with the cultural shock… is one the things I’m dealing all the time, ok, let’s see behind… I’m coming from a Latin culture, Spanish speaking; a guy who loves salsa, merengue, cumbia, and almost all rhythms in South and Central America, and now in Central Europe with people who loves electronic music… is funny! I fact last weekend I went a to open public concert of drums and bass… once I heard something about that, but now I experienced… hahaha, I really wanted to have my camera and capture everything I saw and send it to my friend in Peru, hehe, they surely would enjoy that.



The other thing is the Language, hehehe, Spanish Speaking guy, who also speaks a little bit of English, trying to communicate in a country where most people just speaks Macedonian and other little bit of English as well, hahhaha, the first week was nice, curious and sometimes poetic, hehehe, both cultures trying to communicate with words, physical expressions and draws…

The food… well, I have no complaints related to this very important and sometimes crucial point in my life, hehe, as any trainee, ceeder, or visitor in other country, the aiesecer wants to share the best restaurants, bars, fast foods and other food stores and corners around the city, which is just perfect, in matters of this point, I’m starting to love Macedonia… the food is similar than the Latin food in several aspects.

The night life, also, I had the chance to been in different welcome, goodbye and birthday parties and also concerts; meanwhile I used to go parties, drink with friends and dance almost all the time, the difference is the music, electronic instead of salsa, vodka instead of pisco, … but now, this is what I really love the most… the girls, :):):):):):) sometimes I thing I’m in the paradise, hahahaha, they are just beautiful… I’m in love again, but ok, I have to admit, the latin girls have something special that I really miss, but I’ll spend one year here, so I need to use to my new way of life :)
