 Shkodėr 2005, Banka Italo-Shqiptėre by JLBG Here is another of these new steel and glass buildings but even newly installed banks can prefer to be in a nice old building like this one. Here, the Banka Italo-Shqiptėre/banca Italo-Albanese is installed in such a good looking old building, with the mosque that reflects in the background. They have an ATM on the right Leave a Comment

These photos were taken in 1988 in Shkodėr on the main road. I have not been able in 2005 to find exactly the same place. I should have taken paper prints with me. All buildings were either new or under construction. You will notice that there is not a single car, as they were forbidden to private citizens. However, on the fourth photo, there is a road sign that forbids the access to town to horse drawn carts. This is the same road sign that was in 2005 affixed to the bridge on the Buna river. On the fifth photo, another road sign (they were not so many !) shows the direction of Shkod?r (city center) with no kilometers and of Tiran?, 110 km. Leave a Comment

by DPando An illyrian fortress rules the city , illyrian were an ancient culture that match on time with Roman empire and greek some centuries before... they dwelt in the actual Croatia, Montengro and albanian adriatic coast Rozafa fortress was rebuilt some centuries by venetians and turkish that ruled this area in several periods
My experience is short in time in that place.. i just saw that should be nice to go up as i did in Kotor this same afternoon and behold such brautiful landscapes !! i just pass by for an hour by there Leave a Comment

by DPando The city is also cahotic as i experienced in Tirana.. the last bus stop was in a circular square that i cant mention like a formal bus station... it doesnt exist !! The way to move to the montenegro border is take a cab.. in this place and try to manage the best price to get there .. baragin is the way.. i dont remember how much it cost actually in front of this bus station there was a coffe bar so clean and quite nice to stop for a while before the hard task to get a taxi ... i pass by the bus along the city and i didnt see nothing exceptional worth to see it... maybe the rivers that cross the city Leave a Comment

 Shkodėr 2005, private house by JLBG The photo shows a private house. If you look at the miniature, it seems to be in good condition. However, if you enlarge, you will see that though some parts have been already repaired, there remain a lot to do. It seems that the people repair some parts of their house as soon as they can afford it but that the process is not fast. Leave a Comment

 Shkodėr 2005, building for offices by JLBG Would you believe that this photo was also taken in Shkodėr, also in 2005 and not very far from the other ones? There are in the center of the city several buildings of this type, for offices that have been very recently built. That shows clearly that the country is running fast to improve its economical situation. Leave a Comment

 Shkodėr 2005, Raiffeisen bank by JLBG A large panel advertises for : "Kredi Konsumatore, Raiffeisen bank". I suppose there is no need to translate ! I am not going to take a photo of every bank in Shkodėr, but it is important to know that in 2005, there is no problem to find a bank and no problem to find an ATM. We did not stay long enough in Albania to find where Credit cards could be used for payments. Leave a Comment

In Shkodėr, banks are sprouting at every street crossing. You can see on this photo that it is for real : look at the big panel on the right. It says that the Pro-Credit bank accepts all kind of credit cards. You can recognize for example Visa and Master Card. In the background, a housing building newly built looks great. Leave a Comment

On the 2005 photos, taken in the same district, south to the city, there are a few cars, though not many. On the first photo, the street is a dual carriage way and the housings look in relatively good condition. On the second photo, the front of the building shows various aspects. Some parts have been newly painted, some have not yet been. The third photo, though shot close by, shows a building in bad condition that would require a lot of repairs. Leave a Comment

by DPando i took this picture looking at those people who was doing something weird on the bank river.. there are so much people as i could see in Albania who live with the essential and dont know anything called lush and wealthy .. its so sad because there isnt one or two cases.. everywhere you go if you are sensible to those things you can experiment that sad feeling . maybe is the place where i felt stongly in whole eastern Europe Leave a Comment
