@Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg Ngadalë o Gjergj se ne vrasim e vjedhim njëri-tjetrin ditën me diell e me lloj- lloj marifetesh.Apo e kishe për kohën kur jetoje ti??
You have shown Tirana as I see it. I came here once. Then I came here again. And, now, yesterday, I filed for residency. It is simply the best place for an American retiree to locate.
All the best with your residency. Albania is a jewel of lovely people and great nature. Languages are the bridges that support our human existence. I have started a channel on teaching about Albanian language, culture and traditions to English speakers. Feel free to check it out.
I spent 2 weeks in Albania in April and I can’t wait to go back. Favorite spot in Tirana is a laid back bar called Hemingways Jazz Club. Cool vibe and friendly bar cat. Fell in love with Korce (spent every night at Saiko cocktail vibing on the wonderful music), Gjirokaster (the hike to Ali Pasha bridge was amazing), Berat was indescribable and Durres was wonderful as well. Looking forward to more of your series!
Molto bella Tirana ,io ci sono stato però c'è da dire che ci sono delle città ancora più belle di Tirana, insomma tutta l'Albania è molto bella .... La forza di questo paese è la convivenza pacifica tra religioni e la loro ospitalità è super. Gli albanesi sono bellissima gente. Ciao from Torino 🇮🇹 Italia
Sono d'accordo con te! Non è la capitale più elegante o la migliore città del mondo, tuttavia per le piccole dimensioni che è Tirana, hanno molto da offrire. Penso che la vera Albania sia quando lasci la capitale. I restanti video dall'Albania proverranno da diversi villaggi in cui ho soggiornato. Grazie per aver guardato!
In early 1993, not long after Enver Hoxha's reign, I spent 3 months in Tirana, teaching management courses at the university. A very interesting and adventurous time! I was curious to see if I could recognise any of the familiar sights from that time, but the statue of Skenderbeg was the only thing that seemed unchanged.
Hello Diz, what an interesting comment! Thank you for sharing your travel experiences in Albania. What a unique experience to be able to see the country not long after the dictatorship ended. It must've felt very different to what it is now. Thanks for watching!
Una ciudad no muy conocida por muchos y con mucha propaganda en contra durante mucho tiempo por cuestiones políticas o ideológicas. Sin embargo se nota que es muy agradable, cuidada, con mucho verde, diversas atracciones, relajada, etc. Un buen destino para visitar. Saludos desde Santa Fe, Argentina.
¡Hola Oscar! muchas gracias por ver y por tu comentario. De hecho, Albania y Tirana en particular no son destinos muy famosos entre los turistas internacionales. Tirana ha progresado mucho y estoy seguro de que la gente siempre se sorprende con su ciudad moderna.
@@oscarbosio9881 Albania is completely the opposite of its bad reputation. The whole country, not only Tirana, it is one of the safest countries in Europe, better than London or so more other big European famous destinations. Street crime in Albania doesn't exist and to tell you the truth it didn't exist even when people were dirt poor in the beginning of the 90-s. There are no dodgy or unsafe areas to go anywhere in Albania. You can enter not rich areas and it will be completely safe. With such a massive automatic guns in the hands of population, it is way safer than you would think. Mafia solves their own problems in their own way without involving normal people in the streets, let alone tourists and furthermore they are not in Albania. They are around Europe and America where the big money is. Albanians don't go for little money to get caught and get ashamed of. It is a disgrace for an Albanian to beg and steal pocket money. The only ones who you might take an eye on are the gypsies. They beg and pickpocket in our streets. What I like the most in Albania is the quietness, peacefulness and the good life without big crowds. Albania is not a densely populated country. You have a peace of mind there, enjoying good food and touristic places without annoying crowds. I hate crowds. I can't breathe in between them. I live in London and rarely go to Central London as I feel suffocated.......
@@liljanasufaj4130 No lo dudo, siempre pensé lo mismo sobre Albania, pero cierta prensa influenciada por la política se encargaron durante mucho tiempo de dar imagen negativa del pais y sus habitantes. Hasta en ciertas películas los hacen quedar mal. Pero es verdad lo que decis, la realidad es otra. Comparo lo relacionado sobre las multitudes, a mi tampoco me gustan y menos los destinos turísticos masivos, me deprimen. Por eso coincido que, a pesar de no conocer por estar demasiado lejos, Albania es un buen destino para el que puede visitarlo. Saludos.
@@oscarbosio9881 Albania has problems with corruption within the country or drug trafficking in higher levels internationally mainly, but I dont think this is just an Albanian problem. You got Spain, Holland, Italy, England etc who have way bigger drug problems than Albania itself, but they tend to overlook Albanian mafia rather than theirs. Anyway, this doesn't involve normal life in Albanian streets. Albania has a strong culture and very tough traditional laws. Albanians use revenge as part of their traditions. So, if you touch someone's child or woman, you pay with your life and if you are hiding, than the men of your extended family will pay for it. So, in Albania women walk safely every where night and day, children play safely on their own all around the town as nobody dares to harass a woman as you never know who her brother, her dad or her cousins are. You may end up in very deep trouble which you may pay it with your life....... Street gangs don't exist in Albania. Nobody has ever heard that someone has been beaten by drunk or drugged people in the streets. You can walk everywhere at every hour of the night and nothing won't happen to you. Also, according to our traditional laws, hospitality is very special in Albania. If someone knocks in your door, you open the door, give the person a shelter, food and safety and make sure that he is safe to follow his own way without any problems, so the tourists are taken care of and if you are in trouble just ask for help and you will see a bunch of people surrounding you to protect you from any danger. This is Albania. It's different from Western Europe and that makes it unique and exotic.... So, its not the police upholding the law in Albanian streets, its the society itself who keeps order and everybody obeys it. Because people care less for police and government rules, Albania gives the idea that the country is lawless, but they have no idea that our customary laws are way more stricter than government rules......
Love Tirana, so chill relaxed for a capital city. So many great coffee shops literally every corner. Beautiful people. I love it so much I’ll be back in November. Enjoyed your video you have a calming presence.
Great video for 12 minutes ! Respect and congrats from ELBASAN,Albania. RU-vidrs are providing our country in the best way ♥️ , sure better than ours politicians 🤮 !
Absolutely super beautiful and impressive video, Syifa, from your new Albania series. Tirana looks like a very beautiful and impressive city, with open places, with many green spaces, with a great view... Really beautiful. Thank you very much Syifa for this wonderful video, I can't wait for the next episode.
I was in Albania four years ago. I spent 6 days roaming around and had a great time. I have only three more countries to visit in the European theater and I'll have to all of the area. 93 countries and counting-keep on traveling.
Thanks for watching! I suspect you own an American/EU/UK passport? My Indonesian passport has a lot of restrictions in terms of countries I can go to without a visa/VOA. I have stopped counting countries and focus on slow travel and building meaningful interactions with locals I stay with.
ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR is the father of all souls that JESUS, MOHAMMAD, GURU NANAK, VEDH was telling in BIBLE, QURAN, GURU GRANTHA SAHEB .. In OLD Orthodox Jewish Bible KABIR is mentioned...KABIR means (GREAT or MIGHTY GOD) in hebrew...but when translated in different languages translator removed KABIR word...
@Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg Our relation always be good.Politicians always try to broke normal communications btw people.Personaly i do not hate any nations and religion.Cose nobody can manipulate with me.Fat i mir shok...Greets from Serbia..Slava Ukraine 💪🇷🇸🇺🇦💪
It's little short video from capital Albebia it's very calm and beautiful city .I think you enjoy your time there. Hopefully to see another vogue from Albania. Thanks 😊
Great video Syifa! We're amazed how modern and relaxed the city looks after such an oppressive era when Hoxha and the communists were in charge. Really enjoyed watching! Thank you 🙂
You always give inspiring energy Syifa, the decision to travelling Albania that for me as an Indonesian more likely as an unpopular destination to put on the list in Europe. Keep on the good work and i'll waiting for the next video 🤗🙌
Thank you Satrio! For Indonesian passport holder, you are required to apply for a visa here: e-visa.al/ unless if you've got an active and used UK/US/EU visa/residence permit. The easiest flight for Indonesians would be from Istanbul. Good luck!
I did a day excursion last year in Sarande Albania and it was a great experience. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and the views and ruins were great.
Hi Syifa, i love it that you always 'do what the locals do' instead of doing the 'touristy things'. I think this is a better experience when travelling. Yes, and I loved your video of Tirana.
Omg such an amazing video showing the true life in Tirana, seen by a tourist! So honoured and we really appreciate all the good comments over here! If you visit as many cities as you can, you will discover the amazing Albania, which offers every type of entertainment, nature, food, culture etc. Next time I recommend you to visit south Albania, expecially during summer! Faleminderit 🤩
Love to see you dear in Tirana the capital city of Albania is really informative and knowledgeable and absolutely beautiful to enjoy. Wishing your fantastic journey and waiting for next. 💗.........
Nice to see you again. I have been dealing with health issues for a few years and didn't notice you started your traveling again. I need to set the notice button. Bless you. I remember your early years when you left Indonesia and Singapore and later left China. Nepal were my favorite videos.
The traffic will be dissipated as soon as the Tirana circular road is finished next year. That will be the big relief that the city will get, avoiding the traffic that runs through the centre of Tirana.
Just last year I was there in Albania that's really amazing country people are so nice I have been to mostly all parts of Albania I really miss that country
I love Tirana! Went there quite randomly last year and going back in a month - can't wait! I like the style of your vlog, will check out other videos. Make sure you visit Berat.
Please feel free to visit Patok lagoon (best fish restorants in all Albania ) is just 45km from Tirana and cost 3-4€ to go , and as well the most visited Catholic Albanian church in San Antonio church in Laç city (10km from Patok Lagoon) these are full of tourists and most of them love Patok lagoon in Albania 🎉😊
Ga pernah nonton video dokumenter sekalem ini, salut banget buat syifa. Semoga kelak bisa keliling dan buat video dokumenter di kota² indonesia lagi. Big Love ~
Hi Syifa. Good video intro to Tirana and Albania. Albania has been on my bucket list for about 50 years, since, when I first started traveling, and quite naive, I was turned away at the border. I had looked at the map, and figured the shortest route from Yugoslavia to Greece was through Albania. Little did I know that I would not be permitted to pass. Is English widely spoken there? I saw that your conversation with the "juice lady" was in English.
Hello Len! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your travel experiences.. I think Albania is now a much more laid-back with an easy entry regulation. My Indonesian passport is just always a tricky on to travel with. As long as you have got an active and used UK/EU/US visa, you are good to go. Alternatively, you can apply for an e-visa here e-visa.al/. English is spoken by many young generations in Tirana but in comparison to other countries in the Balkans, Albania would probably have the least amount of English-speaking people.
I suggest you to visit the villages of the Elbasan Mountains, they are wonderful places and hospitable people. (Villages: Gur i Zi, Labinot Mal, Qerret, Shmil, Bene)
