Have I mentioned Macedonians like singing? At least half of the television stations are dedicated to singing - concerts, music videos, music competitions anything you can think of related to singing. Unfortunately, the common music genre is what I would describe as folk music and usually after a few hours I have massive headache. Here are the kids dancing at Dejan's sister's apartment during their version of the American Idol. Did I mention their "American Idol" lasted 8 months!

Speaking of television. I am having serious "House" withdrawals. They have several American tv shows with subtitles, which helps me add to my Macedonian vocabulary but it is not like being home. It amazes me that my husband used this format to learn English.
