Have you ever heard of Skopje by any chance? Well, it is the capital city of a country known as Macedonia. Sometimes on a map you will see the following letters - F.Y.R.O.M. - that stands for Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This was a country under Ottoman Rule for more than 500 years.
One really interesting fact - it is the birthplace of a lady known as St. Teresa of Calcutta, better known as Mother Theresa. Throughout the tourist areas of Skopje (Sko-pee), you will find many plaques with quotes from the lady herself.
