Oh no! I lived there in 2018 for three months and back then that Burger King you featured near the start, used to be an awesome microbrewery that made amazing pizzas! Oh well thats progress I guess. But Skopje is an amazing city. I loved it there.
I just started viewing your videos on Skopje. Will be traveling with friends next spring there. Thank you for a bit of education on the city.
Hope you’re all enjoying the series, if you’ve watched every video leave a comment down below!
Would love to know who has watched / enjoyed them, turns the numbers into faces 😊
Haa ! Your comment about Tâmpa in Brașov took me by surprise ! Came on your channel for the first time and didn't know you had visited my town in Ro ! Hope you had a good time !
Great stuff
The instrumental piece playing in the "wanderer" section is called "Mihriban." It is a very beautiful and important Turkish song. Given the substantial Turkish population in Macedonia, Turkish influence permeates various aspects of life there. As a Turk, hearing the melody of this song in a completely different country made my day. Greetings from Turkey, cheers mate!
We all have catchphrases. We all use the same expressions over and over. That abandoned building you went in. Is it some kind of historical building? Did you find out what it is? Oh, and Ben, you didn't put the video link in again 😅
So it was just tunnels beneath the fortress, like a castle on the hill. Not sure what it would’ve been used for… maybe some sort of cellar or prison perhaps.
Also found some really cool abandoned stuff a few days later but didn’t record that day, bit gutted I didn’t. Was so cool!
And thanks Mark… you’re a saviour 🤣
You like your long coach journey 😎
That one wasn’t too long from what I remember. Was a nice break from filming / editing anyway!
The initial Macedonian you meant is wrong about Macedonia. Macedonia is an amazing country and you will see how nice it is. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Ohrid was beautiful, although I enjoyed my time in Skopje. Ohrid seemed a lot more pleasant and well looked after :)

I thought you were going home 😂
Changed my mind didn’t it!😅
Ova e makedonija
Greetings from Macedonia! ❤ 🇲🇰
P.S. "north" is politics and Macedonians dont like that
The name "North Macedonia" is politics. The Republic of North Macedonia was NEVER Macedonia in its history. It was originally the Vardar Banovina region of Southern Serbia. The name Macedonia was invented for this southern part of Serbia in 1944/45 by the Yugoslav Comintern and Marshall Tito because Yugoslavia wanted to inavde and annexe the real original ancient Macedonia of Alexander the Great in northern Greece.
Perhaps read history
" do not the greeks walk among Macedonians as demi gods amongst wild beasts "
Alexander of Macedon.

@@rafaellagaribaldi9391 You are talking nonsense. Republic of Macedonia is Macedonia!
Only Macedonian never north.
Why they have the statue of the Greek king Alexandros ?
Since when do Greeks have Alexander as a name? 😂
Pronounced Shaw pyuh lol
go in ohrid
With all the respect to the people there , somebody explain them not to be self-humiliated. History is simple and well known. Slavic narions came 1100 years AFTER Alexandros. Sorry for the truth...
M A C E D O N I A N S 25 CENTURIES. another.... x x .
Eventually the statue of the Greek warrior King Alexander the Great will probably be removed as there is no connection with this region historically.
Perhaps read history
"Do not the greeks walk among Macedonians as demi gods amongst wild beasts " Alexander of Macedon.
@@jayloz2831 The region of Republic of North Macedonia was ancient Paeonia. It was NOT Macedonia. Ancient Macedonia is in northern Greece.
@@jayloz2831 The above passage comes from Plutarch and you assumes that for Plutarch the Macedonians were not Greeks??? Well the Spartans were Greeks, so why does Plutarch state:
*_“Even though the Lacedaemonians (Spartans) had combated the Greeks many times, only one of their kings had ever died from the Philippic spears at Leuktra, Cleombrotus.”_* (Plutarch, “Agis”, 21, Greek original text: διὸ καὶ πολλῶν γεγονότων Λακεδαιμονίοις ἀγώνων πρὸς Ἕλληνας εἷς μόνος ἀνῃρέθη πρὸ τῶν Φιλιππικῶν δόρατι πληγεὶς περὶ Λεῦκτρα Κλεόμβροτος.)
Now, if Macedonians were not Greeks, why does Plutarch state:
*_“As for the lineage of Alexander, on his father's side he was a descendant of Heracles through Caranus, and on his mother's side a descendant of Aeacus through Neoptolemus; this is accepted without any question.”_* (Plutarch, “Alexander”, 2.1)
@@rafaellagaribaldi9391...... laj.
u S'umadija.
@@rafaellagaribaldi9391 Greece occupied part of Macedonia in 1913. Before that, Macedonia was never part of Greek state whatsoever.
Arriving, where ? You are WRONG my friend. Macedonia isn't there
MAKEDONIJA IN SOUTH EVROPA ! ! ! @ you... in Vranje.
Skopje (shkupi) was an Albanian capital with rich architecture and history all these statues have nothing to do with today's Macedonians or the current republic they are either Bulgarian heroes or Albanian ethnic Macedonians there is no republic itself only since 1999 when they were given the land by free from Tito look at the history all this big citys that i count now are Albanian Skopje (Shkupi Tetovo Tetovë) Gostivar Kercovë Ohrid (Ohër)Kumanovë and mqny more and this region is called Ilirida🇦🇱

Not true the country is located in the ancient region of Macedonia and the Slavs identify as Macedonians that's why TITO gave them a republic within Yugoslavia
@@Star207 No, the modern country called Republic of North Macedonia is situated on what was ancient Paeonia/Dardania. The slavic population self-identified as Bulgarians till 1894. Tito created the Peoples socialist Republic out of the Vardar Banovina region of Serbia because he wanted to invade and annexe the real ancient Macedonia in northern Greece.
@@Star207Slavs came in this area after 600-700 AD how can be Makedonians? Makedonians are Greeks Dorian Greeks.
MACEDONIANS 25 CENTURIES from FILIP KING ON MAKEDONIJA .
Oto german make Greece before 190 years.
@@tatjanavelkova5814 stop writing bullshit under every comment because you are getting ridiculous. The Slavs don't have more than 1300 years in the area, uneducated you write bullshit and think you will change History. 🤣Hazel IQ.
