Money Troubles con't
So one thing I wanted to mention but I forgot yesterday... for some reason the concept of a float hasn't quite made it to Albania yet. Everything I buy day to day is pretty cheap but if you ever try to give a 1000 leke bill or higher to your average vender he/she looks at you like your trying to use Confederate dollars. They never have enough change to break any sort of large bill. Which sucks cause you only get big bills from the money changers or bank machines. So they give you a pained look and make you fork over the change you had planned on using for a bus. They'll even go so far as grabbing change out of your hand instead of taking the larger proffered bill. And if you insist you'll have to wait while they send someone off to get you change.
