First Day

First Day

After twelve hours of traveling thought almost all Serbia and Macedonia we arrived to Struga ready to explore new experience and intercultural learning.  Unlike the rainy and urban Belgrade in Struga we found the sun, songs on every corner and easy going lifestyle. All addressed to a different working atmosphere and excellent enjoyment.

For most of us this project was the first experience in Macedonia and we were very motivated to explore it, but also to discover something new about the countries that participate in this youth exchange. We were very excited when  found a groups from Bulgaria, Estonia and Lithuania in hotel. This was our first meeting with people from these countries. Together with them we waited for the other participants.

Our day passed in walking along the Ohrid Lake, visiting the center and taking coffee on the banks of the River Drim. We experienced town as very alive and we found a very hospitable people who are willing to host us. We were surprised with tourist presentation of Struga and gained the impression that the city has a Mediterranean soul. One of the interesting details was a monument of smiley on the bank of river Drim.

After a pleasant welcome and walk through town time past so fast that we didn’t realize that time for official meeting has started.  After official meeting and representing project we continue with name games and relaxing for long night till all participants were not been welcomed.
