Scot Bower writes of the Skopke community in Macedonia:
However, Skopje is special; its people are friendly and honest, it’s relaxed to a near horizontal position. I'm not exaggerating- just try making arrangements to meet a Macedonian for coffee! Life is lived very much in the moment. Until, that is, they get behind the wheel of a car. Then you take your life into your hands, their ‘manyana, manyana’ attitude is forgotten and every second counts. I found the best way to drive with a Macedonian was to wear sunglasses (that way they don’t see me crying) and to sit on my hands. It doesn’t pay to let them know you’re a touch nervous!

Skopje has to be the only 24-7 community with its own tattoo studio (named Punk Monk, no less). They have their first location and are looking strategically at larger locations that could contain the small cottage -industry style businesses they have planned.
