If you'd like to explore the bunkers of Albania like I did then I can recommend the place I rented a scooter from in Vlore from where I began the adventure. Search @motorentvlora on insta for their shop. They might even give you the same scooter I used. Imagine that, sitting on the same seat where my sweaty bum cheeks have been. Cheers

Same it looks quite nice

I'm Albanian and I would have loved to guide you. I was raised up in Tirana but my parents are from Vlora. Basically all the people are saying that Enver Hoxha was bad and the times were poor af. The guy who offered you rakia said Maskara for him which means Bastard. If you hear PO on the video it means Yes. Shitet means is for sale bc everybody is looking to emigrate from that country. I myself emigrated 3 years ago in Germany where I'm currently living. I would have loved if you visited the Vlora beaches bc there are some Caribbean level beaches in there. The people are actually nice in there especially in the villages. They see the foreigners like Gods. At the family you visited the women is saying that she was 15 when Enver Hoxha died and she didn't have good feelings about him. The man is saying that the bunkers were build around 1970-80. You gave around 8 euros to the guy that trimmed your face hair which is the amount he makes in 2 days, I thank you very much for that. Normally you should have payed 80 cents I guess. He told you ''eshte vap'' which means is hot. I don't know where you heard that shuish loool but hot is 'vap'. The chilled old dudes at the park were saying that E.H worked only for himself not for the people, actually the people worked for him. Basically the whole Albania worked for enver hoxha. I missed so much my place. Haven't visited Albania in more than 1 year and I thank you very much for the tour. My hurt sunk when I heard my language on your channel. Big fan of you! everyone that has questions can ask me I'd be more than happy to answer ! and Goodbye in Albanian or SHQIP{the name of our language} is MIRUPAFSHIM

Same all over Europe now, especially Eastern Europe. I've been to over 20 European countries and had the same experience in all of then - most people under 30 or so can speak English. Some parts of Western Europe the age is higher (for example, in The Netherlands pretty much everyone except pensioners can speak English), but the general trend is that the younger they are the more likely they are to speak English. It's starting to happen in the Middle East as well, when I went to Beirut, everyone young could speak English - and it's the third language there, after Arabic and French.

I've been to Albania twice, three weeks each time. It is an amazing country with history from early Greeks to Roman Empire to Ottoman Empire to Communism to Anarchy. I stood in the ancient ruins of Antigone, touch a human skull in a monastery carved in the face of a cliff, saw the sunset at the beach next to a giant concrete bunker.

It’s so surprising and wholesome how many people welcome you into their homes to share food and drinks with. It’s my favorite part of your videos and makes me realize how most people in this world are good. Makes me want to travel to the remote places of the world like you do. Love your videos!

df7205 don’t think it was a joke lol, I don’t think a non-white would be as welcomed in Eastern Europe as Mr. Bald is.

People don't know Albania and it's culture, but welcoming strangers, travellers and people in need is a common thing for every Albanian family. It's part of our tradition. My dad was a lorry driver all his life and he would bring home every passenger who couldn't make it to its last destination. It was pretty normal to us ( children), my mum never complained, she cooked the best food and gave them the best bed in the house. For an Albanian is an honour to welcome any guest who knocks on your door or has no place to stay for the night.

Albanian are one of the best girls in the world. Been loving mine for 8 years and counting.

We have a saying in Albania, "U seen 3 bunkers, you've seen em all"

Liam Paisley I speak Russian, English and some Spanish, I noticed when I'm trying to speak some basic words in other languages and not very focused I say some things in Spanish automatically, it's like my mind is bilingual and can't process all other languages smoothly unless really focused, so you can say things like muchos gracias all the time in Greece, Germany etc. lol

Wow I could never imagined you’d visit my city. I wish I could help you translating stories from those villages, they surely have some interesting things to say about communism. Btw the barber man at 14:00 doesn’t say “shuaish” but “Eshte vape” meaning “It’s hot” Also that girl from the family you visited was impressive with her understanding of the english. The people who can speak or understand english in albanian villages are very rare. The man at 25:40 calls Enver Hoxha “maskara” that means “scoundrel”/“blackguard”. Almost all the people you met hated Hoxha regime , even the oldest ones. Enjoy your trip in Albania, you’ll find friendly and welcoming people like that family in every side of the country. Thanks for the promotion

18:40 "What a jolly young man!" The guy is like a thousand years old.

When I was in the Army, there was a rejoiner who had served, essentially as a mercenary, in Albania. He said it was difficult training the Albanians, not because they were unskilled or unmotivated but because arguments tended to produce blood feuds. It sounded like the wild west. But apparently the wild west is also a beautiful place filled with wonderful people!

What absolut amazing people - yes, i second that; Were in Ablania 4 Months, man, so much nice people we met down there ... it realy was the big times! Albania, we will come back...
