An English person today said to me, during the usual where-are-you-from pleasantries, "well you're obviously American".
Saw the look on my face.
"... maybe Canadian?"
Whaaat Macedonian is like half Serbo-Croatian and half not. This is fucking with me, I can't keep up.
My Cyrillic-Macedonian menu interpretation was on form this afternoon though.

A day and a half in Tirana, Albania. Eating, wandering, and up to the Sky Tower restaurant (reputed nausea-inducing rotating Bar is closed for renovations) to watch the sun set over the city. Pretty cool place, I'll come back.
Tirana is cool. Parts remind me of Tbilisi and parts remind me of London. Weird combo but it works.

A week in Shkoder, Albania. Walking tours, castle on a hill, afternoon bike ride to the lake and a swim, Marubi photography museum, cafe working, and a super nice hostel called North Hub. Everyone I met in Albania was very friendly and spoke excellent English. Shkoder is a super chill town, with spacious pedestrianised main streets, and lots of nice cafes. The lake and castle are in longish walking distance, or an easy bike ride. Everyone cycles in Shkoder.
It's getting increasingly hard to answer when people ask "where have you been?". I need to generate a coloured map.
Albania reminds me a lot of Georgia except the food isn't as good.
