I just returned from a trip to Albania
Some highlights:
- If you haven’t heard, Ye has been banned from performing in multiple countries. But not Albania. Ye is having a temporary, 60,000-seat stadium built for him, and he’s going to be the only one who ever performs there, this July. I checked out the plot of land where it’s supposed to be built, and they haven’t even started on it.
- When I was on a hike, I saw two cows living in an abandoned building.
- In Tirana’s city park, I stumbled upon a cafe with a large sign labeled George W Bush Library. I met the guy trying to get it built. This guy fucking loves George W Bush, because Bush helped to facilitate Albania’s entry into NATO and Kosovo’s independence. The only books in the library so far are George W Bush biographies.
- Albania had a whole bunch of signs up that said “I ❤️ EU”, as part of an effort to join the EU.
- I took a bus from Kosovo to Albania. The border guards looked at the passports for the first few people on the bus, then got lazy and let everyone through.
- There are a lot of hos in Albania.

Just arrived in Kosovo, and Pokémon Go refuses to acknowledge it as either Kosovo or Serbia.

I actually like Podgorica
After going up the coast of Montenegro, I went inland to the capital city for a few days. I’ve seen people complain that it’s boring, but I like it. It’s not as scenic as Kotor but it has a beautiful river and city park (which has great views and turtles). Imo it’s well worth a day or two if you visit Montenegro.

I took a day trip to Durrës, where you can check out King Zog’s abandoned villa and some old bunkers. Right around there is this good boy. I don’t know his name, but I know he likes selfies.
