Well presented video and very informative. Yes, tough times for average and poor Albanians but I think the government is overreacting a bit. I believe there is some leeway to ease the situation. Can't believe though you didn't eat something in that bakery or you probably did off camera! When I come there I crave for baked goods that I grew up with. Yes, it was very tough time to live but the food was heavenly because the ingredients were generally super organic. I call them old world goods. Hard to find them. In Tirana there's Reka pastry shops and they make pastries with meringue like before 90's. Haven't been able to find them anymore in Pogradec. There used to be what we called "turizmi i vjeter" or "old tourism" where they made THE BEST ice cream I've ever tasted in my life. Cheers

Very good video , I see the price difference in different Albanian cities remains high. Rent prices in Pogradec are very affordable compared to Tirana where I live. As for the price of goods , it's basically the same across all the Republic. Anyways , this video was a very good and fun one! :)

@@jusuftheeagle6772 Yes bro I know the struggles of renting, I have a lot of college friends who rent and they have to share rent between 4-5 people to afford, because renting in Tirana has become a serious problem. I work in retail and I see a lot of owners who want to buy goods for the houses they are renting and they always buy the cheapest stuff, their excuse is "the people who pay rent destroy the house apparently". Anyways, the best advice I can give you to pay less is to rent farther from the city centre, the conditions are pretty much the same but the distance makes the prices cheaper! Also if you're not from here, have a great stay in Albania :)

@JamesLeithart
@JamesLeithart Год назад
thanks for watching! unfortunately i don't have much to say about long term rentals because mine have all been found through friends. I would say one of the best ways to find normal prices is to rent an Airbnb or something for a bit and talk to people to try to find other options. It's extremely hard to find from outside the country.
