There is something very exciting about this capital and the whole country. We have travelled across it South to North and East to West. People are better off than they have ever been, not difficult given its history, and there is a great feeling of expectancy.
The people are very friendly and justifiably proud. Typical is a young guy we met on his way to Tirana to start an electronic engineering degree. When I asked him where he would like to work he said 'Albania of course, I love my country'
Mushroom bunkers where built all over the countryOne of their biggest problems is pollution. Rubbish is dumped in piles everywhere, waterways are filthy. The river though the centre of the capital is an open sewer. In the middle of the country there is a massive Russian owned steel works that sends a yellow cloud over the city and through the valley. Even travelling through made our eyes sting
