Tirane (that's in Alabania!!!)

Yes I've been to Albania now, it's one of the odder places we visited and one of the most eye opening. If you ever get the chance to go to Albania, do go you will get to see things that you never thought were still in use, such as donkey and carts being used as transport in the middle of a major city and traditional methods of erecting haystacks. This former communist state has a long way to go until it is on an even playing field with the rest of the developed world. The country was full of half finished buildings, where they had just been abandoned or were awaiting upper floors. The picture is of me standing in the city square of this post communist stronghold.
