I was a soldier in Germany when the war in Yugoslavia. Meet an Albanian guy who was hanging out with an English guy. I think they were homeless in Germany so I took them to the military base and let them take a shower. I did wash their clothes while they took a bath. They left very happy the next day. Saw the Albanian guy one more time about two weeks later.....i wonder where are they now.
Good video, thank to both of you. Gerardo was good taking you to the Gypsy area. Yes people live very different around the world. I am from NYC, but i really like Europe.
Very interesting place! Albania seems to have made rapid progress since it was the most closed nation in Europe a few decades ago. See the Wikipedia article "Hobble (device)" for an explanation of the horse wearing a chain (although it's usually made of soft rope). The purpose it to let the horse graze freely without wandering too far by limiting the length of its steps. Hobbles were historically essential in treeless regions where there was literally nothing to which horses could be hitched.
What progress 🤣 Albania has not changed well the actual change is the open borders but still living standarts are actually worse or similar to the communist era people dont have money or jobs thats why they left to european countries for a better life
@@Freedomrocksusa Your dim view of the current Albanian situation is certainly at odds with the majority of what I find on the internet, and on UA-cam in particular.
@@MikeV8652 well actually im albanian so its not like im making this up out of alp the balkan countries Albania is the only one that in the past 10 years has lost about 40 percent of its population including many talented young people .The current goverment in albania is very corrupt they are mobsters dressed in suits while albanians are forced to go to england by boats or other countries as illegalls so dont tell me i found this on internet its the way it is brother.
@@MikeV8652the standard of living in Albania has increased significantly for most people in Albania compared to the communist era. However, he is right that the living situation in Albania still is not very good. The economy, although growing, has a long way to go. The government + developers still prefer to cut corners to save money instead of making projects as great as they can be. Wages are low for the working class but expenses are high. Gas in particular is very expensive, and some people are actively trying to use their car as little as possible to save money. So, still not great but definitely a little better than the communist era for most people
I live in england for 17 years when you get know the English people they are really cool , many of us think they are racist but as said when you get to know them they have good heart.
I travelled to Albania 🇦🇱 alone, flying from Birmingham to Tirana. I rented a car and drove from Tirana to Shkodër, and from Shkodër to Durrës.. The people that I could have a basic conversation with were friendly, I learned basic Albanian before arriving, which helped. I ran through these areas and although it looked rough, I had no problems. Would recommend Albania based on my own experience, just be respectful and street smart ❤
@@stivenseraniblack people living in cities is different than gypsies. Gypsies choose to live like that, black americans are still recovering from the affects of the government oppressing them
gypsies are not Albanian origine. they are around the world , their origin cams from India, and Egypt. mostly of them are in Romania, Bulgaria, England, Turkey, Germany etc.
Have visited Albania a few times as I have an attraction to all gypsy men, approached the ones I liked offered a bit of money , they are ready willing and very able ❤❤👍💯
This video is too old now. Shkodra has changed drastically tgis year.It looks completely different. As for the gypsies, even communism couldn't make them go to school and work, let alone the democracy....they never change apparently..

Wow interesting one. I suppose it's to the horses benefit then, especially being in the middle of the city, thanks lad

I agree, Albania is somewhere I'd return to without a doubt. There are a few nice places in the south I never got to explore
the gpysies live like tha not only in albania but in bulgaria romania serbia greece whenever they love it that way there is nothing anyone can do
They may love it, but nobody loves them. They make problems everwhere they are. They are always sourrounded by trash and filth it's not nice.
Amazing people still live like that in Europe
It's pretty crazy. Hopefully I can show you more things like that
It's gyspie hood not Europeans hood .same like usa black people live on poor neighborhood white people live on modern areas
Gypsies have nothing to do with the Albanians they came from Egypt and settled here learnt albanians and that why gov don't help them
the gypises want to live like that there is nothing the goverment can do or us albanians can do that is gypsy life

the city looks great but then you go to where these people live and its dr congo but its even worse because its cold over there too.
ngl it looks mad depressing there
It’s 100x nicer when it’s sunny lol
That's because it's rainy
Albania is becoming stabile and modern state,need time but lots of things are getting in really good shape and stabikty
even if "bike friendly" bikers still could let the car pass =P well after continue watching i see that the car nearly hit a dog because of that ( ...)
One of the best 👌
Boshhhh let the adventures continue
Terrible seeing stray dogs 😡
17:33 this are poor people i fell bad for them , bc they are not like us
"We've got the peaks of the Balkans behind me". Bro, the Balkan mountains are in Bulgaria
I was referring to the mountains of the Balkan countries bro haha. Therefore they are peaks of the Balkan countries
man i could care less on video quality but the mic sounds like a webcam form 2001.
But the space the camera takes up is soooo worth it
Acting shocked they want money when u are profiting off their poverty for your you tube channel 😱
