ooh well done

There’s rounded shapes too!

The highlight has to be this public restroom.

Ugh I knew you’d bite regional airports like that 😡😡

Some of the bus services are surprisingly fast and frequent. Fare collection system is ancient tho: a conductor collects cash on the bus. I’ve been told this is largely due to the cash-dominant culture in Albania.

Safer cycling.

Surprising amount of well-preserved modernism is highly appreciated.

Skopje 2014 really did this city dirty. A decade on, all of it is falling apart and the buildings start to look increasingly dilapidated. Since these plazas were designed recently, I wonder whether more could have been done to avoid them turning into massive heat islands in scorching Skopje summers.

And this is what the same street looks like 363 days of the year.

The street borders a park with a sizable children’s playground, which fails to encourage spontaneous play that occurs outside traditional play structures. This becomes evident as children flock to the reclaimed street to engage in a myriad of fun activities! 🌳🚲
