I was a soldier in Germany when the war in Yugoslavia. Meet an Albanian guy who was hanging out with an English guy. I think they were homeless in Germany so I took them to the military base and let them take a shower. I did wash their clothes while they took a bath. They left very happy the next day. Saw the Albanian guy one more time about two weeks later.....i wonder where are they now.

Thanks brotherrrrrr

I travelled to Albania 🇦🇱 alone, flying from Birmingham to Tirana. I rented a car and drove from Tirana to Shkodër, and from Shkodër to Durrës.. The people that I could have a basic conversation with were friendly, I learned basic Albanian before arriving, which helped. I ran through these areas and although it looked rough, I had no problems. Would recommend Albania based on my own experience, just be respectful and street smart ❤

I agree, Albania is somewhere I'd return to without a doubt. There are a few nice places in the south I never got to explore

Very interesting place! Albania seems to have made rapid progress since it was the most closed nation in Europe a few decades ago. See the Wikipedia article "Hobble (device)" for an explanation of the horse wearing a chain (although it's usually made of soft rope). The purpose it to let the horse graze freely without wandering too far by limiting the length of its steps. Hobbles were historically essential in treeless regions where there was literally nothing to which horses could be hitched.

Wow interesting one. I suppose it's to the horses benefit then, especially being in the middle of the city, thanks lad

Many people think Albanians are racist. Especially when they invade other people's countries when they've got their own country.......

even if "bike friendly" bikers still could let the car pass =P well after continue watching i see that the car nearly hit a dog because of that ( ...)

the city looks great but then you go to where these people live and its dr congo but its even worse because its cold over there too.

gypsies are not Albanian origine. they are around the world , their origin cams from India, and Egypt. mostly of them are in Romania, Bulgaria, England, Turkey, Germany etc.
