Send subscriptions to: Pau3a! c/o Peace Corps Oslo 6 1000 Skopje Republic of Macedonia Libra: (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Upon hearing a million declarations about the history of this land, you now wonder: If the Ottomans were here for five centuries, why couldn’t Alexander Makedonski do anything about them. Taurus: (April 20-May 20) Hey, you don’t even like to read your horoscope. Caught you peeking now did we? This month you’ll discover why there is so much trash around: people put it there. PEACE CORPS MACEDONIA Aries: (March 21-April 19) You will discover a routine for your free time here: lots of pirated DVDs and cheesy airport novels. Scorpio: (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Should your counterpart tell you that avian flu is caused by promaja, consider a site change. Gemini: (May 21-June 21) You will notice that the rakia your host-family gave you is now also available without a prescription at Rite Aid for minor cuts and abrasions. Sagittarius: (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Those Turkish coffee grounds at the bottom of your mug predict nothing except that the mug needs to be washed. Cancer: (June 22-July 22) Life has become easier now that you’re jogging; people barely have time to harass you in complete sentences while you pass them. Capricorn: (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be reminded how small the world really is here when a neighbor hears word of your best PCV friend marrying a Macedonian before it reaches you. Leo: (July 23-Aug. 22) You will find that being perceived as a spy surprisingly makes life seem more romantic. Aquarius: (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Now that your Macedonian is improving, words like kombe, gjezve, mobilen, prodavnica, and rabota are now part of your everyday English. Virgo: (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you have met your soul mate, hold onto this person like you hold the seat of a taxi in rush-hour Skopje. If you haven’t, keep your eye out next time you take the city bus. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) On the next bus ride, while listening to turbo-folk, you will realize that anything too ridiculous to be said is sung.
