Notes from Southern Europe
1. Grecian men on the beach have hairy backs. They make Kevlar look like Kojak.
2. Albania is cheap and cool and beautiful and in ten years will be as expensive as the rest of the continent.
3. Montenegro chicks are not that hot, but Montenegro mountains are pretty cool (above photo).
4. Serbians think that every nation in the Balkans are a part of Serbia; the other nationalities seem to have a problem with this line of thinking.
5. Italy is filled with bad guys; they will steal your sunglasses off your head when you are sleeping in a park and then try to sell them back to you from a kiosk near the train station.
6. Croatia, though once beautiful and trendy, is now overrated at best.
7. Europe in general is too expensive for the services which you are supposedly getting. No wonder everyone lives with their parents until they are fifty.
8. I have little need for a return visit.

Is it true in Albania that nodding means no, and shaking your head means yes? I picked up that factoid somewhere when I was a kid and it always bugged me.
that's bulgaria.

Albanians shake their head for yes and nod for no, the opposite of what Canadians do.
Did you not notice this? Or maybe you missed many a chance to go back to her place?
maybe that info is a bit dated, albania seems to have entered the modern world of nodding, at least in tirana and along the coast (the inner countryside along the macedonian border i am not sure about). when i was in bulgaria eight years ago, this was definitely in play however.
Uh what happened to school?
