Hello, I am interested in learning about the Geography of North Macedonia. Can you educate me? 
 Hi. North Macedonia has scenic mountains and has a transitional climate from Mediterranean to continental. There are over 1100 large sources of water. It's part of a larger Macedonia that includes Greece. 
 That is very interesting. Can you tell me what the surrounding countries are? Is it near an ocean or sea? 
 North Macedonia borders Serbia to the north and Albania to the west. Greece and south and Bulgaria to the east. There are over 50 large lakes. 
 Wow, that sounds very interesting, especially about the lakes. Can you tell me a little bit more about their lakes, mountains, or other geographic features of the country? 
 3 lakes Lake Ohrid, Lake Prespa, and Dojran Lake -lie on the southern borders. Transit of goods come thru Greece through the Balkans. Lake Ohrid receives water from the other two lakes. There are also around 50 ponds in North Macedonia. 
 Wow, that is very interesting. I never knew the lakes were that large and connected. I'd like to know about their education system now. Can you tell me a little about that topic in regards to North Macedonia? 
 Yes, there are many lakes. The education system is similar to US system: it consists of pre-school, primary, secondary, and higher education. The US Agency for International Development has underwritten a Project called Macedonia Connects. This is to provide the first all broadband wireless country in the world. 
 Very interesting to hear that their education system is similar to the US. What kind of higher education institutes do they have? Are they well known for any particular areas of education or training? 
 I am sorry, I do not have any information about the institutes or training, but 461 of their primary and secondary schools are now connected to the internet based on the Connection Project. Would you like some information on something else? 
 I'm curious about the Connection Project. Can you tell me any additional information on this and the future plans for it? 
 A mesh network has been created to provide Wifi in the largest cities in towns in the country. I have no additional information on future plans. I was able to locate some information on some names of some of the universities. St. Clement of the Ohrid University of Bitola, Goce Delcev University of Stip and St Paul the Apostle in Ohrid for Information Science and Technology. 
 Wow the mesh network concept sounds very interesting. Thank you for the additional information on some of the universities. I am now more educated on the education system and future projects of North Macedonia. A very interesting place indeed! Thank you for the info! 
 My pleasure sharing the information!
