第一百九十八天: 霸道王

Posted by 霏 her
這是共產和奧匈帝國建築物的對比

塞爾維亞，前南斯拉夫共和國的中堅份子，不讓科索沃、波斯尼亞等脫離共和國獨立。

一直想來這裡看過究竟，一直不明白為了甚麼此國要這樣 “蝦蝦霸霸”，心想留得住共和國的身分，卻捉不緊國民的心也只屬徒然。然而來到了，我找不到一點點身經百戰的歷史痕跡，也沒察覺任何霸權影子… 都說新一代皆是幸福的，沒受過戰火洗禮，展現出來的均是歡顏和光鮮的打扮；我想，這個國家選擇了往前走… Continued 繼續看…

Lake Ohrid

We’re passing through Macedonia en route eastwards to Bulgaria. Made a short stopover at Lake Ohrid, Europe’s oldest and deepest (“and cleanest” joked a local). Nice little old town that carried a faint aura of glamour without matching prices. It’s a party town in summer – our room was right above two clubs blasting hits from the last two decades, enough to keep us awake in bed til 3am.
