Football and China........

I didn’t tell you that all Macedonian students who studied in the Netherlands with Dutch funds formed Macedonian-Dutch-Alumni Association. The organization is pretty new and our first event was support for the Dutch national team for the Cup 2006 in one cafe in Skopje. This was supported by the Dutch Embassy in Macedonia and we made special t-shirts for the event. Almost all Dutch people who live in Skopje were there :)
However Sunday night was the end of it, we were very disappointed :(
Thanks to Val I made blog for the Alumni, and you can see some photos on the following link:

And, China was great, very beautiful, and very modern and clean, with tradition and spirit!! People are very hospital and nice, but to barging for every thing that you want to buy is very exhausting :) I saw Chen and his wife in Beijing, they are doing fine, Chen has lost weight, he said because of hot weather – it was 32-34 degrees than. Who is interested I will send him my photo album on-line!!

In Skopje is also around 35 degrees and going up and I am surviving in my air conditioned office!!!!

Have great time for the weeding guys!!!!

A por ellos!

Hello everyone!! Did you miss me??
So still alive in Madrid.. and still alive in the world cup!!
I am very sorry about The Netherlands yesterday.. I wanted them to pass! Spain is playing tomorrow agains France.. and I know we have little chances even if everbody is comenting on how badly they are doing.. But we always get to nervious when it comes to compete with the "loved" neibourgh!! Anyway.. at least we have Raul and Torres that are better looking! (you will live this comment, Rob!) Lorna.. I know your heart will be divided, but you are a bit spanish inside.. or just remember Sanfermines!! hehehe
on the other hand I have a lot of news. I've got a job and an appartment! I will be moving next weekend. It is not the best area of Madrid, but is very central and the appartment is fantastic (considering the 50 ones I saw before and the carzy prices!). So from July on you will all be wellcome. And I started working in a Consultancy called Euroquality, that deals with environmental and quality issues. Bad contract and not very weel paid.. but.. at least it's a begining!
I am also very sorry I didn't do it to the reunion, I mised you all. Vut at least I have had the chance to see some of you lately: Rob in Milan, Agni in Athens and Boudewinj in Madrid, speaking a very impresive Spanish and in Oranje to see the Dutch in an Irish pub! it was very exotic!
I hope to see many more of you soon.
and have fun in Polland!
