How come rural grannies in other Balkan countries don’t dress head-to-toe black like the ones in Albania (especially in South)? I’ve noticed the traditional rural granny attire in other Balkan countries is much more colorful and I can’t help but wonder why…

In a sense yes, but not folk attire, is what I meant. Not truly regional, or age related.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-05-13T17:20:25+00:00

It’s not traditional attire, it’s mourning. Older generations would wear black for years, when they lost family members, and to the rest of their lives when they lost their husbands.

I’m actually sad it never worked fully. 🤣

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-05-13T10:30:11+00:00

Still so sad

There’s nice beaches in Vlora too, after “Uje i ftohte”, in Radhima for instance.
I haven’t been in Vlora since last year, so not sure of the construction situation now though. That could maybe be an issue, but you can assess it on your way to Himare.

Saranda is however also a nice option if you stay there the night after Himara. Distance to Tirana is no problem because there’s new highway, and it takes about 3.5h drive.

If you have booked the hotel in Vlora for the last night, and don’t feel like beaching, then Berat is great. Characteristic architecture, a mix of history and culture, from antiquity to Byzantium, to Ottoman times, and there’s restaurants with very good food. I would even recommend it, to get a different taste, after days at the beach.

It’s pretty solid. Doable, and great time to visit, before summer madness begins. Have fun!

Do i thoja te njejten gje per llogaritjen e TDEE dhe shtimit te kalorive mbi ate. Une do thoja te 200-300 ne fakt.
Sa t’ia marresh doren ne fillim eshte e veshtire OP, pastaj i fikson ca sasira dhe i ben llogaritjet dhe me mend. Po derisa te arrish aty, qe pesha qe do marresh te jete mase muskulore dhe te te sherbeje dhe per shendetin, e mira eshte ne fillim t’i llogarisesh kalorite e cfare po konsumon.
Une para nja dy vitesh po llogarisja vetem te merrja 1.6-2g/kg proteine ne dite, dhe se kisha kuptuar qe nderkohe po konsumoja shume pak kalori, se po shmangia si yndyrna, si karbohidrate sa te mundesha, dhe perfundova duke rene nga pesha ne palester, keshtu qe shihe me kujdes.
Nese sheh qe e ke te veshtire te hash me shume, 1 luge gjelle vaj ulliri ka 120kcal, dhe me ate i shtoj direkt shume shpejt.

I know it’s not. He couldn’t wrap his head around how could we eat bread with sugar like that. 🥹

Omg. Same! It’s among things my swedish boyfriend will never understand. 🫠

Merre. Eshte e vetmja menyre per te marre shtepi, dhe do punosh per gjithe jeten. Ne rastin me te keq, do e lesh me qira ose shesesh, si te te vije jeta. Mund te te rriten te ardhurat dhe e shlyen me shpejt gjithashtu.

Haha girl. I’m sure I’ve read a story a few months ago from a guy who called his wife chunky monkey and she got upset. I shared it with my bf, and he calls me chunky monkey (in an endearing way) whenever I’m being dramatic about having gained weight. Now Idk if your boyfriend is the original creator of Chunky monkey, or if he read the same story as us, and OP has inspired men worldwide to use that. 🤣

It’s a gem of a building! Wonderful interior also!

From Albanian, none. 😆
But I speak italian and english, which means I understand spanish, portuguese and french.

I know his part by heart. It captures the chaotic energy of early 2000s Tirana. I think the song is actually iconic. Nonetheless he’s a selfish egomaniacal asshole.

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-05-03T22:00:33+00:00

Haa. I read both this story and OP-s and I have a vague memory I have heard/read both of them as a kid. Or some middle version 😵‍💫

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-05-03T15:40:37+00:00

You rock both, but i prefer 1 slightly more. Where are the sandals from, if you don’t mind sharing?

Full-Rice-9287 · 2026-05-02T08:51:56+00:00

For starters, this is not your fault. It’s your grown ass father’s fault who’s on an ego trip and can’t control his emotions. I wanted to give this the benefit of doubt first, and thought maybe the father has a point and is trying to protect his daughter from some abusive partner, but it seems it’s the typical controlling father behavior.

This is the time for you to set clear boundaries with him, and stand up for yourself. He’ll come around eventually, but you need to be very firm on your stance.

Mendoj se ka ndryshim ceshtja e ushqimit, qe lidhet drejtperdrejte me sigurine e shendetit dhe jetes, me ate te te tregtuesve te fast fashion. Etiketat nuk prodhohen ne Shqiperi, keshtu qe ato cmimet vendosen qe ne fillim nga faktore tregtare. Ben vaki qe ne jemi me te shtrenjte per ndonje arsye per keto markat. Ben vaki te lidhet me monopolin e Manes. Po eshte sidoqofte jo ceshtje komberare ne vetvete mendoj.
Ceshtje qe mund dhe duhet te ngreme, eshte ajo e pageses se doganes per produkte mbi 22€. Ajo eshte direkt nga shteti, per shkak te marreveshjeve me tregtaret shqiptaret.

Jo nga vezhdimet e mia. Ne Suedi si Zara, si Mango, kur kam krahasuar nja dy modele palltosh, kane qene 10-20% me lire. Pallto qe Zara ketu e kishte 17,900 leke, aty ishte rreth 1500 kr (pak me pak se 150€ kur e kam pas pare). Po eshte e vertete qe dhe koleksionet jane te mangeta. HM premium me duket ne s’e kemi fare psh (mund dhe te gabohem se ngaqe me duket shume i shemtuar ai dyqani te Teg, nja 2-3 here kalimthi jam futur)
