Two wonderful things today:
1) I learned how to say 'Hello', 'Please' and 'Do you speak English' in Macedonian,
2) I found out Megafaun are playing in London tonight so I'm going to see them live at the Slaughtered Lamb.
ZDRAVO - Hello
VE MOLAM - Please
ZBORUVATE LI ANGLISKI - Do you speak English
So I'm all set for the stopover in Skopje now. I suppose I just need to learn the same phrases in Czech, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian, Greek and Italian. Excellent. I'm well on my way.
And having spent most of the morning listening to Megafaun, reminding me how great folk music can really give you a feeling for the country it comes from, I am quite excited about the kind of music I'll hear on my travels. Might be a good idea to bring a little recorder with me... Especially like this great little tune 'Worried Mind' that they performed live with Bon Iver.
