very short skirts ...good or bad ?

Perhaps many women simply do not have shapely enough legs that can carry off the wearing of a very short skirt gracefully.
Legs have to be more than shapely they also have to be attractive. Nylon stockings make legs more attractive but this is evidently a personal choice .

Not only are our legs not elegant or sexy enough to show off in a very short skirt but our posture isn't observed enough to NOT show off more than we intended. How many times have your eyes been drawn to the sudden hiking of a skirt thigh high? More times than many men would like their wives or partners to know about anyway, I'll bet.
The sudden hiking of a skirt thigh high can be improved upon if the woman is wearing pantyhose nylon stockings. At least these look a bit sexier than the sudden appearance of fish-belly white thighs.

>>>>>But from this woman's perspective, another of the disadvantages of wearing a very short skirt is **********the breeze factor*******. Don't laugh, but getting a sudden gust of cold wind up bare legs is cold and disconcerting, to be polite.<<<<<<<<<

Very short Skirts leave a lot of bare leg open to the elements and this is very disadvantageous as far as most women are concerned

GETTING AROUND IN MACEDONIA / MACEDONIA TRANSPORTATION GUIDE

GETTING AROUND IN MACEDONIA

BY AIR

There are no regularly scheduled domestic flights - however, there are occasional flights between Ohrid and Skopje.

BY RAIL/ ROAD

All the main internal road and rail services are operating normally, with links from Skopje to Kumanovo in the north, to Stip in the east, to Veles and Gevgelija in the south, and to Prilep and Bitola in the southwest.

Train

Trains in Macedonia are usually not the best way to get around, with buses providing faster, more frequent and equally cheap services. Using trains in Macedonia also means you'll have to use Skopje's horrible train station. The Skopje-Veles-Prilep-Bitola train is highly recommended for those who enjoy shunting around, as it passes through magnificent landscapes - first through the Vardar Gorge, and then through untouched nature.

Bus

The bus network in (Former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia is well developed with frequent services from Skopje to Ohrid and Bitola. Long distance buses need to be booked well in advance.

Taxi

Skopje's taxis are regulated by the city council, and with the exception of the occasional scallywag the capital's cabbies are the most honest in the world - a startling and delightful fact that only adds to the pleasure and mystique of the city. The starting rate is 50den, which is valid for the first two kilometres; after that you pay an additional 20den per kilometre. The rates are the same at night, and waiting is charged at 300den/hr. Make sure the meter is running before you set off. Taxis can be hailed from the street, but phoning (or having the restaurant or hotel phone one) is an option too; operators speak English. Put +389-2 in front of the four-digit numbers below if you're calling from your mobile.

Car rental

Most of the main car rental agencies have their presence in Skopje. Driving around Macedonia is relatively fast and easy. It has good roads, Western-standard highways, reasonable signposting in both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets, and petrol is slightly cheaper than in Western Europe. Bringing a detailed map is always a good idea, and make sure to have cash at hand to pay for the highway toll, usually 20-30den. Between Tetovo and Skopje you'll have to pay a number of times, on the way to the airport just once. Car rental in Macedonia is cheap and reliable.

URBAN TRANSPORTATION

Skopje's public transport system is composed entirely of old buses which have colour-coded roofs. The ones with red roofs are state-owned JSP buses, while the white-roofed ones are the slightly cheaper private buses (ignore whatever colours are on the sides). Day and evening services run approximately 05:00 - 23:00 with a limited service throughout the night on all of the major routes. Tickets are based on a zone system, with the city centre as zone 1. A ride within zone 1 on a JSP bus will set you back 30den if bought on the bus or 25den if you buy the ticket in a kiosk. You can travel even cheaper by buying a 10-ride card for 225den. The price for the same trip in a private bus is 20den, with tickets sold only on the bus. There is no public transport information centre, though the kiosks at the end of the lines have the schedules posted. For more information see JSP's website at www.jsp.com.mk.

MACEDONIA TOURISM GUIDE

GENERAL

Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of) is a mountainous land right at the heart of the Balkans. Its churches and mosques contain many fine examples of art and architecture from the Byzantine and Ottoman periods.

SKOPJE

(Former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia's capital is largely new, owing to an earthquake in 1963. There is, however, plenty to see. Skopje Old Town is the most attractive quarter of the city. It is full of shops and restaurants. Here is the Church of the Holy Saviour with its intricately carved iconostasis (a screen in orthodox churches on which icons are hung). Also to be found in the Old Town are the Kursumli An (16th-century) and the Suli An (15th-century) caravanserais and the Daut Pasha Baths with its two large and 11 small domes. It now houses the Art Gallery. There are a number of mosques dating from the Ottoman period, particularly the 15th-century Mustafa Pasha Mosque, as well as the old 10th-century Kale Fortress and a magnificent footbridge spanning the River Vardar. Near Skopje is the Nerezi Monastery with the accompanying 12th-century Church of St Pantelejmon housing magnificent Byzantine frescoes.

BITOLA

Located 18km (11 miles) from the Greek border, Bitola is the second-largest town in (Former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia. It was an important centre of Ottoman rule and has the nearby ruins of the ancient city of Heraclea.

OHRID

Situated on Lake Ohrid, this is probably the most attractive town in (Former Yugoslav Republic of) Macedonia. Here St Clement of Ohrid laid the foundations of the first Slav university. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Ohrid became the capital of the Macedonian Tsar Samuil. The walls of his fortress still survive and now provide a venue for summer concerts, operas and plays. Near the old fortress are the remains of a Classical theatre. Dotted around this beautiful town are a number of ancient churches, particularly the Cathedral of St Sophia containing some magnificent 11th-century frescoes.
