International recognition of Macedonia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 was delayed by Greece's objection to the new state's use of what it considered a Hellenic name and symbols. Greece finally lifted its trade blockade in 1995 and the two countries agreed to normalize relations, although differences over Macedonia's name remain. The undetermined status of neighboring Kosovo, implementation of the Framework Agreement - which ended the 2001 ethnic Albanian armed insurgency - and a weak economy continue to be challenges for Macedonia.

Ioannes

Saturday, 20th September 2008 - Alexandria I cycled in the afternood and it felt nice to be on the road again.

I liked it :) I stopped and talked to the shop owener Ioannes (Johannis, an about 55 year old man) with a smile. He invited me to a coffee, and in fact I could sleep at his house later.

Peace Corps Macedonia

Alright, so my first week of pre-service training for the Peace Corps is done! Waking up, sitting in uncomfortable chairs for hours...You get the point. All of my Peace Corps cohorts are really cool. I know I am going to learn a lot from many of these people whether it be professional or personal in nature. I am staying with a host family in Negotino. My host brother, Simon, is a seventeen year old actor type kid. He's pretty funny and really nice. His father is hilarious from what I gather. I don't understand him, but everyone else seems to always [View Full Entry]

Der Wasserfall

Nachdem wir den gestrigen Abend mit „griechischen Spezialitäten“ ;-) haben ausklingen lassen, wurden wir heut früh von strahlendem Sonnenschein und nur noch 20°C geweckt. Den Weg in Richtung mazedonische Grenze habe ich trotz des erholsamen Schlafs in unserem Designer-Zimmer weitestgehend verschlafen, bis wir durch Zufall über einen Wasserfall stolperten. Kurz den Anblick genossen und klein Dennis ans Steuer gelassen. Bis zur mazedonischen Grenze konnten wir unsere Gelüste noch im Rahmen der Möglichkeiten auslassen, doch dann sollte für uns die Hölle beginnen. Der Grenzübergang [View Full Entry]
