Anyway believe it or NOT when i'm in Albania i LOVE power outages (especially during the day). It makes you stop EVERYthing you are doing, sit on the couch/chair/bed and start reading under a natural light. As for the birdflu, I am still amazed at how there is no reported case yet in Albania, I mean it has travelled as far as France but not any reported case in Albania yet. (Though, that might because Albanians do not control as much as the Fhench :D!)Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13458669129155137004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-1130608771923135212005-10-29T19:59:00.000+02:002005-10-29T19:59:00.000+02:00Ah, electricity outages.

In Litochoro it wasn't too bad but on Kos (an island) we got used to frequent power outages for LONG periods of time. Ugh.<BR/><BR/>Packages from home with simple pleasures are great.

This last post, made me smile as it vividly brought a vision of my beloved hometown.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had a chance to read the other posts, but my best advice is that you need not look at things in Tirana with critical eye. You need to learn to love all the imperfections.<BR/><BR/>It's not about the garbage, the bootleg butcher shops, and the absence of electricity or water. Tirana has more charm than any other city in the world, and I have been around :). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I am looking forward to read all your archives and dig out the gold. So, congratulations on this blog and keep on posting!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>~ilir<BR/><BR/>P.S. Be grateful about the Mediterranean weather. Polar season is starting up in Montreal!ITShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958814876642124728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14858228.post-1130515495380028162005-10-28T18:04:00.000+02:002005-10-28T18:04:00.000+02:00It really is the simple things in life that count....It really is the simple things in life that count. My mom sent another box this week with People's magazines and peanut butter cups! I had the best bath that night reading and eating in the tub.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your treats!<BR/>CynCynthia Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682883555325866307noreply@blogger.com
