We're All Right With This

Yesterday's New York Times carried a long article on the five Uighur men who were transferred from Guantanamo and granted asylum in Albania. According to the Times,
Although the Uighurs feel marooned in Albania, they are grateful to the government there. “Given that no other country is taking us, we’re all right with this,” said Mr. Abu Bakker Qassim, a 37-year-old father of four who acts as the group’s spokesman.

no more beards though! I saw pictures of The Five who came from the East, now and then, and it looks that what the Gitmo didn't do it with a stick, Rrapi i Trishit did with a carrot.

When are they going to open another Chinese restaurant in Tirana? Or a corner grocery store?

I am taking bets on this one...

Thanks ergo.

ITS - we are getting a new Chinese restaurant. It's called Shanghai (but it's not the same people as the existing Shanghai), its across from Kinema Millennium and its a 'bar, cafe, piceri - looking forward to sampling Chinese pizza. Uighurs not involved though.
