Shop

Since the arrival of an Apple store the good people of Tirana have an opportunity to buy over-priced, over-hyped electronic toys. I assume it is the real thing, even though no Apple website I have checked makes any mention of Apple in Albania.

it doesn't look like an official store because they all have the same design everywhere and this is not it.

I have to agree with the over priced part.

I think that the prices are not so expensive comparing with europe. It is not any difference between prices in Italy and here.
I am happy, finally an apple store is present here.

Koli - it's not that the stuff is overpriced in Albania, it's just that it is overpriced everywhere.

If the prices are overpriced everywhere than where is the problem? Everyone that have the money can buy it. It is just a choice! I think that is just a new product in Tirana and we have more possibilities to choose. I have to congratulate the person that has brought the Apple products in Tirana and I wish to him a lot of success.

Hi Ami, as someone who doesn't buy apple stuff I have no problem with their prices. It was just an observation.

I think that was not just a simply observation but was more a negative one. But is true that we have the rights to see the things in diverse ways. :-)

Dy Rame Per Tirane

I was watching Top Channel last night, first the news, then Fiks Fare. According to them Tirana's citizens now have a choice not only between Rama and Olldashi, but also between Rama and Rama. A minor right-wing faction, Parti 'Balli Kombetar' , submitted papers to the election authorities registering their candidate, Akile Rama. The people on Fiks Fare got hold of the papers and sent a reporter and camera team to the address listed for Mr A Rama. After much ringing of the bell the gate was reluctantly opened by a middle-aged woman who refused to speak to the reporter and tried to close the gate on her. Back in the studio Saimiri and Doctori - the two presenters of Fiks Fare - revealed that Mr Akile Rama was 73 years old, in hospital, and did not know he was now a candidate for mayor. They also compared two documents - the papers submitted on his behalf, and a genuine document he had signed. The signatures were not even remotely similar. There was an interview with the lea...

Albania and the Perils of the 21st Century

Another article on religion in Albania appeared yesterday. Patrick Poole, writing in the American Thinker , argues that Saudi funding for the construction of mosques and the training of imams is a threat to Albania, since these mosques and imams reflect the fundamentalist interpretation of Islam dominant in Saudi Arabia.

Only Way is Up

Chatting with a taxi driver while back in Belfast a few months ago, he was intrigued when I told him that I was living in Albania. Did I think it was worth investing in property there, he enquired. Not unless you're prepared to risk losing your money, I replied. By the end of the journey he was considering Bulgaria instead. Despite the risks, some people are starting to invest in Albanian property. The Daily Telegraph reports on Ian Warburton who recently spent 29,000 GBP (around 40,000 EUR) on a one-bedroom apartment in a new development in Tirana. "Given its location, I don't see how it can fail to work," he said. The development is called Terra Nova and the apartments are being actively marketed as an investment opportunity by Barrasford and Bird , a UK property company. Here is their sales pitch for Albania: Albania shares the same stunning coastline as Croatia and Montenegro. However, Albania has better weather and prices are about a quarter of those compa...
