albanian adventures

Cskemi. That's 'Hi' in Albanian – the first (and very useful!) word I was taught by the lovely lady next to me on the plane. Thankfully, Albanians speak impeccable English so my limited language skills went untested for the next seven days. I'd first heard about the students in Albania...
