Macedonia In Your Pocket
STAFF WANTED
Do you think you’ve got what it takes to help build In Your Pocket’s leading European brand in Macedonia? We’re currently looking for people with editorial, sales and/or travel-related skills who’d like work with us on a flexible, part-time basis.

Candidates must be based in Skopje, speak excellent English and be able to work to tight deadlines. Good connections in Ohrid would be a bonus.
Please send a CV, covering letter and two references to sco@inyourpocket.com.

I am from New York and I LOVE New Age! I was there a few months ago and I cannot manage to forget the hot mulled red wine. It was as magical as the scenary itself, case and point, ducks and cats roam free all around, just as relaxed as you will be t[...]
Great shopping centre, I love the way you did the food court. Great job.[...]
About the name: the owner of this mall is Koç Holding A.Ş., the top industrial conglomerate in Turkey. The Koç family, Turkey's wealthiest dynasty, controls the company with its headquarter in Nakkaştepe, Istanbul. The first firm of the company was established by Vehbi Koç in 1926. The first part of the name, Ram, is the English translation of Koç.

We loved the vegatable and mushroom risotto. The bread and salads were fabulous, too! Can't wait to return![...]
The expression "since Alexander the Great" is completely wrong. Alexandre the Great was born in ancient Vergina, located in modern Greece and had nooo relation with what is now (wrongly) called Macedonia. He spoke also ancient Greek and had Greek culture. So please next time be more accurate.
EDITOR: Oh dear, we have been caught with our pants down promoting an aggressive irrevisionist view of history with this outrageous review. Seriously, we saw Alex shopping for new underwear and toothpaste just last week at Ramstore, so if he doesn't mind living and shopping in peace with everybody, why should you?
