U.F.O #5 – Refreshments and Entertainment
This edition of UFOs takes a look at popular beverages
and clubs in Macedonia that seemingly lull the bystander, expecting something they only get in imitation.
Exhibit #1 – Soda
only. My personal favorite is Fantazi. The colleagues always bring this soda along with cookies
to celebrate the new baby, job, car, or birthday.
But don't think for a minute it has anything to do
with the original Fanta.
Exhibit #2 – Nightclubs
Next up, clubs. While in Gostivar, I chanced to
visit a club called Texas. How cool, I could actually sit, watch the Cowboys, listen to country music and dance the 2-step. WRONG! Another pizzaria, turbo folk, and model TV club. All I wanted
was to hear a bit of home, and the only Texas this
place had was the flag and me. Rumor has it,
there's a club in Negotino called Dallas. Oh, and I
found a club called New York in Kavadarci. BUT,
be wary that the only similarity these places have
is in the name and maybe a few pictures. The least
they could have done was have a picture of Buddy
Holly in cafe Texas. Onto searching some more.
Take Cola-Cola for example. At 20 MKD, not a bad
soda for 2 liters. But one expecting to buy a Coca-Cola
original is in for a different taste and imitation labeling
If you should come across any Unidentified Foreign Objects, don't forget to send them in. A few
words about the pictures would be nice. That
wraps up this edition of UFO #5. Be aware and
sure to share yours too.
