I can't BELIEVE this is Shkodër, Albania 🇦🇱

I've just reached Shkodër, which is the largest city in Northern Albania. To my surprise, the city had a unique vibe that reminded me of the Netherlands at times. It was a pleasant surprise to experience such a different atmosphere than I was expecting.

[KatietheGreat]

Thank you. I left Albania 24 years ago. This is my city ❤️.

[SprenchTravels]

Hope next time I come to Albania I can check out this town

[iangiles]

Some of the bikes are 70 years old. There used to be a bicycle factory there.

Hello :) my family owns the art gallery, I can confirm it’s still open as an art gallery and painting school! and the paintings are beautiful!!

[Philantrope]

Nice views. Well done. Are mosquitos a problem in Shkodra?

[ToniLixSim]

u will not see so many bicycles in any city in Albania, it is only Shkodra who use bicycles it is historic :D

[Mulmgott]

Shkodra is in the katholic majority area of northern Albania, the middle of the country is majority muslim and the very south mostly orthodox. Of course there is a lot of overlap in general. But you can generally divide it into these 3 zones. Also most people are very liberal when it comes to religion and most don't strictly adhere to their faith.

I'm sorry that the police were so impolite. Usually they are very respectful and helpful in Albania 👍

The doves do not have an owner, they belong to the city and are not used for games or anything else, they are free. The municipality built that little house to give the doves a shelter and there are several in the city and people feed them freely. Albania is not of Muslim majority, indeed the religion does not represent us and as a nation we don't care about it.. in our families we have people of different religions and this has been our strength for survival over the centuries. When the Turks invaded us, in Albanian families it happened that a member of the family pretended to convert to Islam - in this way he protected the entire wealth of the family and the tribe. This was a ploy to not pay taxes to the Turks or pay low taxes. That is, before the Turkish authorities they pretended to be Muslims when in reality they were Catholics, Orthodox. In Albania there are also Jews.

Hi am from London but my parents are from shkodra. It’s quite a nice city but most of the younger generation have left because of poverty and low wages

[pxshka]

When you were there bro? In the summer or are you now there

[Maartentravels]

I didn't expect to see so many cyclists 😳

[MrObeytok]

Albania is not a Muslim country, mostly agnostic, very few people practice the religion or have read the Quran or been inside a mosque

[JayandSarah]

The police don't want you filming them, that is the problem there. Pretty obvious.

[StreamLabs]

Brother please come Bangladesh if it's possible. Hope you will pass some good time 😊❤❤
Also you will have some Bangladeshi kind Followers like me 😁🤗 🇧🇩

[irjnxacofz]

Albania isn’t Muslim country lmao . Albania itself is older than Christianity and any other religion that has ever existed. Islam is part of Albania just because we were conquered by ottomans which we had to fight them ALONE since Western Europeans were terrified to come and help 😇… Just like they are to help Ukraine against Orthodox conquers … Uh oh if it wasn’t for Albanians (Gjergj Kastrioti and our Military alliance League of Lezhe) ottomans would have been German’s neighbors

I just found your channel. I like your style. Stop using "Guys" to address everybody. Be original. Guys is so overused, impersonal, and lame ass contrived. Be original. Come up with your own trademark greeting and how you address your audience. Stand out from the crowd.
