Albania 2024

Tiranë

The little journey started in the capital where I spent a few days doing a hackathon. The hackathon venue was a former museum built during the communist era. Of course it has to shape like a pyramid.

"The structure opened as the Enver Hoxha Museum, originally serving as a museum about the legacy of Enver Hoxha, the long-time leader of Communist Albania, who had died three years earlier."

South of Albania

After Tiranë, we decided to do a short trip in the south of Albania, because why not? Our aim was to explore two of the popular resort towns: Sarandë and Ksamil.

We rented a scooter to cruise around the Sarandë area. When the guy renting it out asked me if had experience riding such a vehicle, I told him I’m from Vietnam. He smiled and said when his customers are very confident about riding a scooter they often told him they visited Vietnam.
