Hi Eric, I did not grow up in Albania, so I am going to ask some Albanians to give you better answers. In the meantime, I'll give you something to chew on.
1. My country is a neighbor of Albania. I grew up in Italy, but I've been in Albania, which is a beautiful country which had the bad luck of having a very suspicious and controlling government, a communist government. Then the Americans, who always like to pick kings wherever they go, decided that a certain Berisha would make a good king, or president, which is the same thing. Under him things got worse than they were before, so that everybody tried to get on boats and escape to Italy. Sometimes things will get better.
2. In Albania people get in line on the street at certain hours of the day, they wait a few minutes, then a little window opens up, and from the window they sell this great loaves of fresh bread. I like best the buk Kalamuche, round loaves of delicious corn bread, much better than WonderBread. It's too bad that Albanians think that everything in America is better, so they would rather buy WonderBread. Luckily for them, they don't have enough leke to buy WonderBread, so they buy buk kalamuche.
3.In Albania they have leke. In America you have dollars. Dollars are better.
4. It's a mountainous country, tall mountains by the sea, very beautiful scenery, lots of horse carts and sheep.
For 5 and 6 you'll have to wait.
