Kosovo

So it seems like all of Bitola's alleged beautiful people are sipping expressos in Pristina - who'd've thought? Turns out that there Kosovar capital is way more trendy than I'd given it credit for.

I didn't really get Kosovo as a country. It seemed to be one long sprawling ribbon of breakers yards from the border to the capital, occasionally interspersed with a trendy looking new build that would put an equivalent building in Blighty to shame. Not what I'd expect from Europe's poorest country.

Pristina itself was fairly much the same thing only concentrated. Lots of things that shouldn't go together together and the whole thing topped up with more cars than a city twice its size needed.

The whole city seemed to be in a state of flux, as though it hadn't quite worked out its identity. Give it two years and it will be chock full of stag dos.
