It has been a longtime since my last post mainly due to commitments at work and also due to me being out of the country for prolonged periods. However I have been keeping one eye on the going ons in the land of the Eagles and the Great Ilirians, A.K.A Albania. I must say things have been quite eventful on the political front, but hey, when is it ever quiet on the political front in Albania, and now that we have the elections coming up it just adds more fuel to the fire, or in Albania it adds more music to the rallies. I find it interesting that opposition leader, Mr Rama, is touring the country with Rap/Hip Hop/Boy(man) band ‘West Side Family’ in what I think is an attempt to appeal to the young voters. Which in my opinion is a bit odd as he seems quite popular with the young voters that I have mingled with on occasions. The leader of governing democratic party and Prime Minister Berisha is on tour with the super hot silicon enhanced Ciljeta and Soni, and I must say for his age he could have done a lot worse. I mean if I new these two ladies were performing on a stage in my area I would go to watch (not listen) the show even if I had to be surrounded by youngish men waving US/Nato/Albanian flags. So as the big day approaches and the temperatures rise I am hoping for some spontaneity from the candidates, I mean a break-dance from Mr Berisha or some dirty dancing from Mr Rama can only add to the spice of the current election tour.
I am also pleased to be in Albania when it can be enjoyed the most, summer. Long weekends away in the south is a must if you are in Albania during the summer and I hope to make the most of it, and this year a few of my friends will be coming and we will be enjoying the beaches and scenery in this beautiful country. So to all those sad case blog stalkers who wrote in telling me to get the hell out of your country and not to bring any of my ‘nigger’ or ‘chink’ friends here because you did not want them, I am sticking two fingers in your face and enjoying myself this summer. To see some of the comments go to Link. For some reason these guys think I am American, its as if only Americans come to Albania for work. I would like to comment more on this issue but some people cannot handle the truth and take no criticism, so there is no point really.
Have fun blogging.

Goodness me I cannot belive what I am hearing with regards to our politicians. Quiet funny though your review, I have now got stuck in my head the view of Berisha break dancing and Rama rapping to the last breath. In some respect I wouldn’t be surprised if that did actually happend. It seems politicians today will do anything to get a vote lolz
Mate, I really envy you for enjoying your summer holidays in Albania, the sun, the beach, cold beers, ahhhh it brings back memories. Still there is always next year to look forward

That rap/hiphop stuff sure is funny; doesn’t appeal at all I guess, but kudos for trying though.
And good for standing up to the ignorant people who scour the net; it seems we are less tolerant in general than we like to think?
