The former communist government of Albania isolated the country politically, economically and culturally from not only the capitalist west but also from all other communist powers in the east. It wasn’t until 1992 with the fall of almost all other communist regimes in Europe that Albania took steps towards democracy and development.

Still very much emerging economy and country, the capital, Triana is only small but is the most happening city in the country.

Manners and Customs

Although exceedingly poor the Albanians are generally very polite and helpful.

Generally most Albanians love anything Italian or American to a lesser extent.

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you should write more about this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people don’t talk about these subjects. To the next! Best wishes!!

I�m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that�s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I came across this in my search for something concerning this.
