In conclusion, my country is very nice. I want to say that I like Macedonia and I am proud of it, even though I will say I was embarrassed about dancing the national dance, which I was learning some years ago. I thought it was an old fashion way to express yourself and I was afraid that my classmates would think I am lame.

Now I realise, that it was a good thing to

do, because it helped me to get to know my culture and my people much better, especially that I do not live in Macedonia.
