Dreaming Together in Macedonia

                                                          Dreaming together in Macedonia

When we came to Macedonia, it was about 19.00 o’clock. I went with my new friend Kristian Milesky, to his home where I slept. After that, we went to his school, ,, Kuzman Josifoski-Pitu”. There was a presentation about ACES, Macedonia and about their culture. Children from that school were dancing their tradicional dance. One boy sang a song of Toshe Proeski. After that, we had a dinner. We ate Macedonian food. It was great.After the dinner we had a party at Bisera’s home. That was a party for all the children from this project. When I came to Martin’s home, I was exhausted.The  next day we had a lot of workshops.The  first one was called the ,,Icebreaker”. That workshop had a point to meet new friends. The next one was about pictures in mediums. We had to describe one picture. After that we had a class with professional cameraman. He was talking about working the camera and we learned how to use our camera’s property. In the next workshop we had to make a cover page of magazine. My team’s theme was about fashion, and we named our magazine, ,, Ultra fashion”. After that, we had a pause for lunch. At 14.00 we left Kicevo and went to Ohrid. First we went to see how did people make paper a long time ago. It was awesome. We saw the first printing machine. It was Gutenberg’s. the next place was church St. Climent and Plaosnik. In that church we heard something about her history. We went to the lake, and we made a lot of pictures. We had a free time for shopping. We went to bus, got in and traveled back to Kicevo. We arrived at 21.00. I hanged out with Kristian and his sister. We had a dinner in a restaurant. After that, we had a nice walk trough the centre of  Kicevo. We came home at 23.00. Next day, we had and excursion to Skopje. We visited MRTV-Macedonian Television. We saw the studios for sport, news… We met a man who works in television.We saw technology in the master control room. We left the television station and we had some free time, so we decided to take a walk trough the center of the city. Skopje is very beautiful. Their sculptures, monuments, fountains and museums were breathtaking. Then we went to shopping center. I watched a movie in 7D cinema. It was awesome. We came back to Kicevo, and had a dinner at the hotel. On our last day we had a class with a famous journalist. It was about using Internet and Facebook, and it was about communications in mediums too. After the class, we left Kicevo, and we went to Krushevo. We were sightseeing Toshe Proeski’s memorial house and his grave. We had a lunch in Krushevo. Our next station was archeological sight Stobi. After a lesson about Stobi, we got in the bus and continued our journey to Pirot. The last day was the toughest. That’s when all of us had to say goodbye. But before that we had an interview whit a famous journalist Alexa. My time in Macedonia was very fun. I wish that we could have more time in Macedonia. ACES is a great organization, that helps build relationships and friendships with children from other countries. We all thank to ACES for provide support for all.

Thanks ACES!!!
