One day Travel to Albania.

in #travel8 years ago

The journey of one day to the most closed until recent times and therefore incomprehensible to most of Europe - Albania (Skipperia) - country of mountain eagles. Impressions - corn field, a lot of garbage on the roadsides, few historical buildings (although a lot of history), modern temples. During the reign of Enver Hoxha (immediately after World War II until about 1985), the main religion of the Albanians was atheism. Now Albanians built temples. The country has four religions. There are Muslims, Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants. On the other hand, Albania, told a guide, change quickly and rapidly. Even 10 years ago there was no proper roads. And now - free travel to the Schengen countries, high-speed Internet 4G. The average salary in Albania - is 300 dollars, utility payments are less than $ 10 and are very cheap products and services. Surprisingly a huge number of cars. About the traffic lights in Albania not heard. There are almost none. On the big intersections handle traffic adjusters.

This mausoleum built for himself during his life in the last century Enver Hoxha, the dictator who ruled the country for about 40 years. Such as Albanian Fidel Castro :). He died in 1985, lay there until 1990. Now the building under reconstruction, but it has a valid nightclub "The Mummy."

Bunkers. Already were built 700 thousand in Albania - one bunker for one of the armed Albanians and his family. Each bunker has a capacity of 3 to 15 people. The dictator believed that in the bunkers can be saved from an armed attack from other countries.
