Never thought I'd see this posting on here . Hey Lumi . Whats up Shipe!
Being Albanian born n bred in the states , having been raised over there part of my life , i can tell you that those pictures are real but there is also more then meets the eye .. First off all those nice cars you see in the pics above are probably 99% chance those cars are either stolen or have been re-tagged or either purchased with illicit funds . Yes back in the day you killed my brother i killed yours and we were even , that sh*t dont fly anymore though even though in some parts they still feel that way . The country was oppressed by a dictator that didnt allow any religious practice , you were forced to turn in your mother for that extra grain of rice she took home to feed the kids , or else you were imprisoned indefinetly . Before the fall of communism , no man owned a automobile they were all owned by the government. The new Democracy Government there is a Joke . Now you give ppl who were 50-100 yrs behind the rest of world a coke , mercedes , all the luxuries the outside world has to offer they dont know how to act . I personally know of a wealthy albanian, worth half billion from the Montenegro side that was shot up by some checkpoint bandits who tried to rob them in broad daylight . His bodyguards ended up killing the bandits but not before taking a couple slugs as a reminder GTFO this country and dont come back ..
Bottom line IMHO is this : if you from the country , thats cool , if your a tourist , dont play the dumb one, try to act like you fit in , If you got cash and your fluantin it and they know your not local .. RUNNNNN becuz they will get you one way or another ..
Even though it is the birth place of both my parents i would still spend my money else where ..
