A Stroll Through Skopje, Macedonia 🚶 Appointment Day 🏥

Howdy folks. 👋 This week I have a rather curious walk for you all. Mainly due to the fact that it wasn't one continuous walk. And also, the circumstances surrounding said walk. Let's talk about that first.

Small Preface: I hurt my leg really badly shortly after New Year's. As such, my strolls became infrequent. 😩 When this walk happened I had no choice, however, as the documents I needed to acquire were imperative in my applying for a job. Thus, the start of this walk is actually a bus ride. But do not threat! The walk that would've happened if not for the bus ride is through sections I have already covered here, so you guys aren't missing anything.

Today we are going to the courts to get documentation that I have no criminal record (that they know of 😈) and to a clinic to get a document that confirms my eligibility for work, health-wise. We will cap it off with a nice big burger as our prize for torturing my injured leg all day.

Swollen ankles notwithstanding, I hope you all enjoy this walk - Onwards! 🚶

🔷 TO THE COURTS 🔶

So yes, I know the irony of posting a shot of me riding the bus in a Walk-blog, but what is life without a hint of irony in it? 😁

We take the bus to a place we've already visited - Bit Bazaar. And after we cross the bridge we can see our destination. The National Broadcast Tower.

This area of the city is very underdeveloped and has many abandoned buildings littering the streets.

Ironic how a little ways off we have important buildings like the Broadcast Tower and the Courts - Criminalistic Court, and Populous Court. The main difference between the two is the severity of the cases. For us, we are just requiring basic documentation, so we will have to go to the small house.

As for the Broadcast Tower, we are just using it as a shortcut. 😀 You see, the way this area is laid out, if you take a path straight through the tower you save around 20 minutes! So naturally, that's what we did.

And thus we are headed to the nearby clinic to get checked and get our medical approval!

🔷 TO THE CLINIC 🔶

At this point in our journey, my leg really started to hurt. This was my first walk after nearly two weeks of rehabbing. And while I could feel my ankle pulsating, we still had to reach the clinic and get our certification.

We passed underneath the train station on our way. The station is inactive now and serves more as a mall than anything else.

As we were out on the main roads again, the clinic was not far off. Suffice it to say I reached it and got my certification. I am eligable to apply for any job now. 🕺 // for the next year at least, that's how long the certification lasts

Once this was done my leg really started to hurt. But I didn't go through all of this on an empty stomach for nothing! I decided to walk along the riverbank until I reached my destination. This side of the city is opposite the area of the abandoned building I showed you previously. There are a lot of construction projects here.

Finally, I got my prize! 🍔

I know this was shorter than my usual walks, but I can tell you now that my leg is healed we will return to our regularly scheduled content! I still hope this post was interesting to read. Thank you to those who reached the end, and I hope you have a fantastic day! 😘

Not sure where we'll go next week, but I reckon I'll find something interesting.
