Good choice to translate it. "Molla" is a sweet little word all Albanians love. I think it's a good marketing move. Heck, we already know the fruit-brand works well in english.

It is good for taxes as well. If the name is in a language other then Albanian you pay more.

actually, peeps, this is most likely NOT a legitimate apple store..sorry for disappointing all you hopefuls.
Haha, love the translation. Molla sounds better to me rather than Apple.

Great to see Apple in Albania. Looking forward to when McDonald's arrives, NOT.

Why we cann't be happy that we have smth new and nice in our city but we have to take care if is leggitime Apple store or no. I think you have to be more interested in the products because those i am sure that are not produced in Albania or assembled in Allbania.

in fact, peeps, it is a legitimate Apple store. you can get all manner of Mac computers, iPods, iPhones, iTouch and all the other gadgets to go with it and, thankfully, you can get your Mac products serviced there, as I had to do with my Macbook. it ain't cheap, but it's real.

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.

Guide Turistike

According to the World Travel and Tourism Council , the future is bright for Albania. The Council ranks Albania ninth out of 174 countries for tourism growth over the next ten years. A summary of the Council's report is available, as is the full report complete with many pages of graphs, charts and spreadsheets. This summer I have seen a number of tourists on the streets of Tirana. Some of them may well be Albanian expats, or people of Albanian descent returning home to visit family, but others are genuine 'foreigners'. Judging from their appearance, they are probably best described as 'independent travellers' - the kind of people who are not interested in luxury hotels or crowded beaches. This is a good start, but independent travellers are not the kind of big spenders that the tourist industry likes. In the longer term, if Albania wants to bring in the kind of free-spending tourists who currently holiday in Croatia or Slovenia, there will have to be a huge invest
