Gladis' adventure throughout Skopje

Today, Gladis had an almost solo adventure throughout Skopje. She said she needed to stretch her legs a bit and get some tea. She got back with wonderful pictures and some stories to tell.


First she went for a playground to test the devices and see what is all the fuss about. The swinging device was slightly sad because there was nobody to push her (for the sake of the story consistency, we would exempt the person who took the photo). But afterwards she enjoyed hook climbing. Now there was some good stretching, she said.


Afterwards she tried to call home, but she said she couldn’t push the buttons, she needed fingers or some thumbs at least. We can lend her some next time she goes for a walk. Gladis told us that despite the unsuccessful attempt at calling England, she had a nice chat with a beeping sound, but it turned out the beeping sound wasn’t very interested in her, and there was no feedback from the communication.


Along the way towards the church, Gladis noticed a graffiti which if left to free interpretation of the author of this text, is an elephant from Germany with a large ear piercing, but seeing what the interpretation of the author was, it won’t be left to his interpretation.



She took a short cut through the air (I believe everyone is familiar with her levitation abilities) just to land in front of the church and get stuck in the door. When a nice gentleman which Gladis fancied a lot, helped her release herself from the oppression of the door, they exchanged numbers and she relaxed a bit, knowing she may as well found another friend.


Just before leaving, she threw a last glance at the sky, behind a suggestive large construction and went back in to the apartment. The journey is its own reward should work well here because she forgot to buy some tea, and now is drinking Boza instead (which has nothing to do with tea, except that is kind of fluidy)

Letter from Gladice

Hey everyone,

Gladice speaking. I want you to know that I’m fine here. Macedonia is such a beautiful country and the Macedonian team are so good to me. I learned so many things about this country and I’m having great time here.

At first, I was at Mimi’s house and there I met her two teddy bears, Greta and Belcho, who became really good friends of mine. Then, I was at Mimi’s school where I met some of her friends and I was on a meeting of the Values Quest team. And from the meeting till this moment I’m in Ana’s house.

As you can see I have many friends around and I feel so happy. But guys, I miss Southport and you, the English team, so much that I can’t wait to see you again.

Love,
Gladice

Letter to Spase

Hello Spase,

How are you? Do you like Southport and England so far? We are not asking you because we’re sure that our partners are taking good care of you and that you are happy with them. Also we know that you are having GREAT FUN there and we would really like to be there with you.

We’re writing this to you just to tell that we really miss you and we can’t wait for the day to come when we will be with you again. Your friend, Gladice, is here and she is fine with us.


Everyone remembers you for different things that they had done with you. This can especially be seen in the behaviour of Mimi because she really misses you in her home. Every morning when she wakes up she thinks that she will see you near her but…..when she looks better she recognizes that you are not there. Then, what Frose and Ivana miss is changing your clothes because they want you to look handsome and charm girls. Elena, Elena, Daniela and Ana miss your hugs with your “little” arms. Igor and Tomce miss having fun with you. And also Damjan, who didn’t like you so much, misses you because now he can’t see the most annoying member of the team for him. But, don’t worry about Damjan, he is what he is and you can’t change him.

So that is how we feel about you. In the end, we are sending you our love and smiles just for you.


Love you Spase,
VQ team
