50 vëzhgime te vecanta mbi Shqipërinë!

[Plaku me kostum]

E kemi te kunderten, jo te gjithe e praktikojne ne kete menyre. Para nje viti qe isha ne Shqiperi shumica ishin tamam si ketu ne usa. Mua me bene pershtypje 2 gjera lol, xhiro & gjumi i drekes vertet luks i madh atje.

Ane tani e kuptova cfare ke dashur te thuash, shekulli e paska perkthyer gabim ja ky e ke ne anglisht

Now this was REALLY confusing to me at first because in Albanian people will shake there head side-to-side to mean yes or to acknowledge that they are listening to you. This is the opposite of the up-to-down head shake that I am used to in America. When I was originally introducing myself to people in my training village and they were shaking their heads “no” I thought they didn’t like me, but shortly after I realized the opposite-head shake custom and things started to make a bit more sense.

Psh. ne "jo" ketu tundim koken majtas djathtas, po ky veprim nenkupton "po"ne Shqiperi
kurse per "po" levizim koken larte-poshte, ne Shqiperi ky veprim nenkupton "jo"

kjo puna e tundjes kokes kuptohet keshtu

Ke uri? po (e tund koken larte e poshte)
Ke uri? jo (tundja e kokes anash)

sbesoj te bieri shi sot - jo (tund koken anash) kurse po ( tund koken larte e poshte).
kur thua po atehere eshte si ti thuash po, ju keni te drejte, ska per te rene shi sot
kur i thua jo eshte njesoj si ti thuash jo, nuk do bieri

Ketu ngaterrohen te huajt.
se si po edhe si jo jane dakort me ate qe tha "sbesoj te bieri shi sot"

Ndryshimi:
u bera lemsh
se edhe jo e perdorin per te kundershtuar
kurse edhe po e thone po do bieri

“Fresh” meat

Meat here could be considered fresh to some standards. Some of the meat is literally killed on the street right before the buyer takes it home. I have the wonderful view of this phenomenon every morning. Seeing lambs hanging upside down and bleeding out all over the street isn’t necessarily the most appetizing thing to witness first thing everyday, but after a while I have learned to just look away. Poor animals… kills my sudo-vegetarian soul.

24. Cheating is sharing

■The concept of cheating is unknown to Albanian culture. Cheating is thought of more-so as sharing and helping. These ideals go back to the times of communism when everything was shared for the common good of everyone. This idea of “sharing” can prove to be a problem for the schooling system here because some teachers in this society can also be bribed to “help” the students get a better grade. I even ran into this problem while students were taking the Matura (a test that students must take to graduate from high school). A girl and her father were at the cultural center and asked me to “help” them. I wasn’t quite sure how they wanted me to help and I told them that they needed to have something written first and then I would help edit. Turns out that the girl and her father were looking up information for their cousin who was taking the test at the school during that very moment. They were relaying information to the test-taker via text message. This idea of cheating also brings up problems with validity regarding people’s positions in society. It can be a bit discerning to know that many of the doctors, teachers, and other professionals in this society may have made it through school with others “help.”

31. Trash

■Trash is everywhere in Albania. The country does not have an effective sanitation system. While some cities are cleaner than others, trash is still a major issue. Many cities do not have an adequate amount of trash cans and other cities may have the trash cans, but no one to come and actually pick up the trash. Since many people do have a proper way to store their waste, trash is often dumped anywhere or burned. I have noticed that the burning of trash seemed to be more common in the previous village I lived in, than it is in the city I am located now.

36. Fashion

■Looking good is a priority for many Albanians, especially for Albanian women. Most of the outfits look like something from FT Casuals, or the like. From an Americans viewpoint many of the outfits may be considered “trashy” with fake jewels, animal prints, copious amounts of glitter, and tacky English sayings that do not make any sense. However, while some may not be incredibly fond of the bright pink lipstick, heavy makeup, high heels, and colorful clothing, I think that many Albanian women are extremely stylish and they pull off the clothing well. I like to put on my bright pink lipstick every now and then for a special xhiro.
