i’m going to post some pictures and information about albania. it’s not what any believe it to be 🙂

Well they dont threat us any better just so you know:)

My point was just,to make the best out of your life,without worrying about other things.Then only you can go forward.

Good luck to us all from the balkans.I will be happy that day,when we are not in the news even once hehe!

Life is what you make of it,and not what Europe makes of your life.

And what did the Europeans do to you?

Not the european people but their politics and also their behaviour towards the albanian emigrants. We were the last country in europe to experience what italy, ireland and many other european countries experienced before and after WW2, but europe forgot what it’s like to be an imigrant and to forget what made those people leave their homes.

But that was then and this is now. Albania is becoming stronger and better and europe is left to deal with the remaining elements of the Albanian democracy (ie. the mafia)

My flat mate is from Albania. It looks quite nice there…

Yeah most of Europe does relate to Albania with mafia and smugglers. And im proud of that. Not bc i like being thought of as a mafia or a smuggles but bc its this Europe that put us in this situation that were in today. So if they thought that we would go to the western Europe to do the dirty labour jobs for english and french after what they did to us, well im glad they got a suprise. :dev2:

Life is what you make of it,and not what Europe makes of your life.

And what did the Europeans do to you?

i doubt it is possible to find one there 😮

And how many Albanian girls has your highness met in his glorious lifetime?
You must be very familiar with our customs and how we teach our daughters.
