Tirana:
is a chameleon of a city; it can be anything you want it to be. It can be the poor, dusty, dirty, corrupt town as often shown on TV abroad, and we'd be the last to deny that Tirana has its fair share of problems. But on the other hand, Tirana can also be a city in rapid transformation, with bold plans for the future; with pretty, well-maintained parks, the fascinating xhiro evening stroll, an incredibly lively cafe scene, and all with an air of the east: this country, after all, is strongly influenced by Islam.
