Kisela Voda
Skopje è... giusto l'emozione di perdersi in un intreccio di sentieri in ciottoli; farsi guidare dalla scia di luce che emanano i suoi lampioni, che la notte illuminano le vetrine delle tante gioiellerie, pasticcerie e dei suoi umili barbieri. Odorare i fumi di griglia che fuori escono dai suoi tanti camini. E conversare quanto più possibile con li stessi che portano avanti le tradizioni del suo vecchio bazar.
