On October 31st 2012 I went to a day trip in Mariovo region of southern Macedonia. Driving into road number P109 south of Prilep was like going into another world. A paradise left behind. Many people have left to region to live in towns and cities, and Mariovo is a good but sad example to rural areas left behind due to the movement of people from villages to cities. Do they really get a better life in the city? Many would not agree…
