A Traveler in the Foreign Service: Escape from a rock-star elevator in Skopje

A little more than 2$, taking in mind that 1$ is equal to 45 denars which means that 2$ would be 90 denars, and if you bought your CD for 100 denars, that is definitelly more than 2$. But as a person who works for the American Embassy, I think that you should know the course, and not just selling empty talk.
Another thing is that, we (Macedonians) are definitelly not guilty that the stupid American Embassy sent you in Macedonia, speaking Albanian, does that mean that you work for the Albanians?! Does that mean that you are in a coalition with them or that you are working with them in Macedonia?! Can I get an brief explanation please?!
As I can see all this is sarcastic. Portraying the Macedonians as stupid people with the fact that they've been laughing at your i'm-stuck-in-an-elevator-yelling-for-help-in-SERBIAN story, I will tell you something. Be happy that they at least laughed at the story and you never got a nickname such as 'the elevator guy'.
Next time with your knowledge of the Albanian language, please let them send you in Albania, and than we'll talk about hospitality, friendliness and SELLING PIRATE CD'S IN THEIR SHOPS!
