scattered thoughts from Skopje

God i am already fucking done and i only managed 20 minutes of the welcome drinks tonight. Departmental meetup is bad enough, but several hundred people all standing around drinking wine, talking small and eating decidely not-vegan finger food is really not my idea of a good time. And i feel so, so out of place. Like, you take a plate, eat a slice

Thank you for being authentic.

Take care!

The cow story made me laugh. It’s interesting that the cultural differences are sufficiently stark that you notice them even as a visitor. I mean, the usual foreigner might recognize the really obvious stuff, but you are impressively observant and try things most tourists would never consider.
