@@TravelwithMrJonCesar and Pompei Roman civil war was made in 3 battles in the Durres and three other battles in the periferia of Durres so totally six battles , in which the civil war take place in durres city ! Durres is for yllrian and Albanian “their Rome” , so Italian have Rome , Albanian have Durres , if we could make a comparison of importance 🎉 nice video have fun in Albania ! In northwest durres you have as well the famous Rodon Castle (Rhodorium build fortification by Justiniani emperor ) take a visit to rodon castle northwest durres is 😮fantastic ! As well just 1km from this Rodon castle is patok lagoon with best fish in Albania 🎉
1. Albanians didn't give you a visa ? No way, such a good American boy 🤭 2. Fake olive oil ? Do you suspect Albanians ? 🤔 3. You probably don't know, but the Warsaw palm tree was planted from the seed of an Albanian palm tree 😉 4. I see you had interesting adventures on an Albanian bus, unlike the boredom in a Polish one 😆 5. You didn't see McDonald's there because apparently it was replaced by McDowell's 😉 6. Tina Turner looks similar, I recognized her right away, although when I saw that statue in your vlog I wondered if it wasn't Copernicus 😅
@nonperson22 1. I know it's shocking huh? 2; Yes I might have thrown that story out there for a reason... The part of Italy where they found the oil is less than 200km away by boat and even under 100km in some parts. Back in the 1980s they did cigarette smuggling so this could be a possibility. 3. Of course it's from Albania. 6. Oh wait that wasn't Copernicus???? 7. What did you think of the ruins? Did you see any gladiators?
@@TravelwithMrJon 1. You wanted to work in Albania, now in Morocco, you like exotic, unusual destinations. 2. Smuggling by boat ? That makes sense, now the easiest way to get to Italy is by boat, even without a visa 7. The ruins are quite nice, you can feel the antiquity 👍 I've only seen gladiators in movies, it's a pity you didn't enter the arena, didn't dress up in a gladiator's outfit 👌✌
@@nonperson22 I saw wild dogs in the ruins... I wasn't going to be a gladiator just for you because these GIANT dogs might have beaten me together. 1. Unusual yes... but note I was only in Albania for 2 days :) 2. Yes smuggling by boat. Funny comment :) 3. Have you ever tried the food?
@@TravelwithMrJon 1. They say that running away from a dog is the best way to get fit 😉 2. You were there for 2 days now but you said you wanted to work there. 3. What food, Albanian ? No
@@nonperson22 I was telling a story from years ago when I first looked into international teaching. I did live across the sea though, directly across for two years. 3. Come on that food was delicious...perfect Polish hearty dish. Great for vegetarians and vegans even.
"Based on true story In the film, Bryan Mills, an ex-CIA officer, sets to track down his teenage daughter Kim and her best friend Amanda after they are kidnapped by Albanian human traffickers while travelling in France during a vacation."
Albanian religion is 45% Muslim (Sunni and bektashi ) and 30% Roman Catholic and the rest is 13% of ortodox catholic and other are atheists or other religion! Data from 2024 last census tell just that 45.5% is Muslim (both Sunni and bektashi make 45.5% less than 50%) so basically Albania is only balanced religion in balkans ! For example last decades in sweden online data show about 33.3% Sunni Muslim of population so 1/3 of Sweden is Muslim , Albania has less than 50/50% , as the original last census show ! In Albania as many say is more important the nation so basically 100% of Albanian are Albanism religion , so the nation , yllrian and culture ancinet come first , and the albos have good tolerance in religion! Mostly Albanian fight for politic , left or wright wings 😂 of politic are two main group fighting in politic 🎉
When are you going to visit New Ukraine - Kursk region? I've heard 99 % of the local population wants to vote to join Mother Ukraine. It is a summer joke in Europe 😂
Albanian don’t give a visa to lovely American ? Ask Albanian they will find a woman to you if you are single 😂 go to the TV program “per Puthim “ or “perputhen” where single man find single woman , and there you can choose to find a lovely lady if you are single and stay for Albania as long as you want , with English you can work everywhere ! Just see this TV program if you are single it’s an option 😂 ! Good luck 🎉
I hope you know that Albania together with Moldova and Ukraine are the poorest in Europe and large part of the country's population is abroad. They come back and spend money in this mafia state. Pitty, cos it is such a beautiful country. Although small they do play a major role in drug trade and human trafficking, it is for a reason why Hollywood made those movies with Liam Neeson. Yes, be careful so many girls disappear like those in based on European reality American movies. Why do you think people are so stressed when you are trying to take photos 😂 like in some part of South A. America is liked in Albania though, bombing Serbian positions certainly played a role, Putin still reminds about that "genc". When Polish troops arrived in Kosovo Serbians begged for protection, remember Al Queda was there as well. Fighting against who? Modern history is interesting as well, B. Clinton, Kosovo, Al Queda, Putin etc....all connected
@perkunlitewski I tried not to dwell on such things as I was filming. It was a holiday after all my weeks of filming in Poland. Yes there is a history of distrust for obvious reasons.
I've seen so many over positive videos about Albania how cheap it us, nomad destination etc... Well there's a reason why Crimea or Moldova are cheap, I'm just saying I hope people are careful going to such destinations. Really... I would feel bad if sth ...
@perkunlitewski I only went for two days. I got a feel for the area. It was fine. I would visit again for sure. While it's inexpensive, nothing is truly cheap in the summer.
I get it, but you're smart and some people are just going to fly there after watching few vids with no research. Beautiful country anyway, I wish them all the best
Durres was the center of yllrian tribe Taualanti more than 3000 years ago
I didn’t know that. Thank you 🙏 @europeanlover

I thought they were Turkish.
In a way they are...if one thinks about Ottoman history and current Turkish influence in Europe.

@europeanlover thanks for sharing this statistic. I didn't know that about Sweden.
When are you going to visit New Ukraine - Kursk region? I've heard 99 % of the local population wants to vote to join Mother Ukraine. It is a summer joke in Europe 😂
@perkunlitewski I thought I responded to this and it says I didn't :) I would love to visit...

@europeanlover you make it sound like I should have just held up a sign... "looking for love" :) Thanks for the advice.
