Tirana Sunrise...

I'm staying in a new hotel that my driver from the airport

recommended after he told me he could get me a good deal. I feel like I'm paying a lot still though and I'm looking for a different place. My body doesnt know whether its coming or going but I've been up since 4am. So after watching a couple hours of Albanian TV which is mostly music videos, soap operas, news(by the way theres nothing like an Albanian newscaster doing her report a mile a minute and you understanding 1 in 10 words to make you really feel self-conscious about your language skills,) and finally pirated recently released movies, literally filmed with camcorders and broadcast with Albanian subtitles.

So after not being able to get back to sleep I went out for an early breakfast. At 6 am theres really nothing open except bakeries. As you can see the streets are empty. Luckily I found a good Byrektore where they make Byrek with cheese. Then I went to a park and watched the city wake up.
