The best Place in the World
In the heart of the Mediterranian on the Adriatic and Ionion Sea,Albania is becoming too fast one of the World's most interesting gateway. Turists will notice an inspiring mixture of civilization and cultures- making the European country truly unique.
The first recorded inhabitants in the territory of Albania were Illyrians an Indo-Europian people. The Illyrian tribes resided in the region of modern Albania named Taulantii, Parthini,etc. Thus Albanian populations inherit Illyrian tribe's legacy.
Albania is located in Balcan peninsula. It is bordering Montenegro to the northwest, Macedonia to the east, and Greece to the south and southeast. It has a Coast on the Adriatic Sea to the west, and on the Ionian Sea to the southwest.
The Albanian people are the most ancient in the Balcan, as well as it's language,which is spoken only in Albania.
Some of traditions of the Albanian population is hospitality and culture.
Albania has an incredibly hospitable culture and the it's particular tradition of cortesy.

The hospitality and the cortesy are closely related to the nation, which is similar to that of the sacred guest from Homer and clasical literature, also from "The Code" a 15th-century text written by the powerful "Dukagjin Clan". As stated in the Code, the guest must be shown highest respect by being offered a seat at the head of the table.The guest is then regaled with a homemade strong drink called Raki.
Albanians are friendly and very open towards foreigners that visit their country.
Albania has a mild Mediterranean climate. Many visitors will find that it never gets cold in the lowlands. The Ionian Coast, in particular, is 8-10C (46-56F)in winter season. The country enjoys a good deal of sunny weather with average of around 300 sunny days. Throughout the evening and night in the larger cities, young people enjoy pubs, nightclub, disco-music and karaoke, the others stroll the through the boulevards, beside the Sea in the shore, and in the parks.
A variety of sport, fishing, hiking, leisure activities as bowling, billiard, skiing in snow in winter season, also there is a rich cultural life, where can find diferent theatrical,musical, movie, shows are available in Tirana, Durres, Vlora,Korca my home city, Elbasan, Gjirokastra and Saranda.

Albania is small country with an area of 28.748sq km (about 11000sq mil),and the most of it's territory is mountainous. There are many rivers and some of them are extensively managed to generate hydro-electricity. The shore of Albania is nearly 450km (280 mile).
Along this shore is an mountain called Llogara over 1000m (3,300 ft),which is very interesting by tourists, who can enjoy the shore at the foot of the mountain, but higher up can enjoy thick pine forest.
Also there are a number of Lakes, which are distinguished by their beautiful landscaps, an unique species of fish, among them koran and belushka, which are very expensive in market, but dilicious after cooking. Over a third of the territory of Albania is forested and very rich in flora. The forest are home to a wide range of animals such as wolves, bears, wild boars etc.
This is my homeland,the best place in the World.

Losing You
This poem I've chosen in memory of my wife.

I'd never thought this day would come,
Where my true love would leave me,
I know you see me all tore up inside,
But what else is there to do but cry,

You are watching over me day and night,
And you can feel my pain inside,
You tried to stay here on earth for me,
But God called upon you and wanted you with him,

The reason I'm still living is,
I know your waiting for turn to go,
And every time I feel like dying,
I think what would you want me to do,

In memory of my dearly wife Elvira who died in August 30 2009
She struggled over two years in the hospital enduring all medical intervetion
with peerless courage.
She will remain in our thoughts as an wonderful woman, as an wife, and darling mother, like she was indeed.
We will never ever forget her for all the rest of our lives.

It is deticated to my son
My son is the only hope and certainty
He is every thing I've got
I've deticated whole my life to him
My son encourage me in each step of my life
I love him to death
I am proud of him and I love
forever and ever

I heard that my cellphone was ringing, so I stretched my hand to reach the cellphone.
Through the cellphone my cousin invited me to go with him, because he had decided to buy a new car. As I realized, he bagged my opinion about car's color he wanted to buy. Any way, my answer was: " I'll be ready in couple of hours." I immediately got up and walked to the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth. While, I looked in mirror and touched my chin, so I had to shave it. After I did it, as usualy after shave, I put little bit Ice Blu to cool the face's skin, which smelled good. I went toward the refrigerator and grabbed couple of eggs, some pancakes, and a few strips bacon. Afer I cooked my breakfast, I ate that. I realized the breakfast was very delicious.

The Inspiration

People that came from a diferent country and became successful, inspire me. My cousin is one of those. The first thing he did as soon as he came in America was to be educated by going to school. The finishing school made him to take the other steps. Finally, he opened a restaurant, and manages all restaurant' activity. That's why I made decision to go to school.

Family get together

Family get together is very interesting to me, that's why I picked it. We can invite my mother, uncle, aunt, father and mother in law,sister, brother,sister in law, brother in law, grand child,nephew, niece, first cousins. All together we are going to celebrate, birthday, 4th of July, Flagday, or a graduation. This party we can celebrate at our house, at a restaurant, or a picnic in the backyard or at a park. Usually we arrange it on a weekend, holidays or other day. Organizing such a day is very important because we have the opportunity to see everyone, therefore we have not seen each other for a period of time. There are a lot of activities of which we can mention a few, for instance, dancing, playing various games, cooking barbecue, drinking, having funny conversations, singing songs, toast and wishing each other to be successful on their jobs or business, and for a better life.

The first thing we did as soon as we came in USA about two years ago, was to search for an apartment in order not to live with one of our relatives. After looking for
a month to find a suitable apartment, I finally found the apartment where we
have been living. It includs a living room, three bedrooms, and kitchen. Probably the living room is my favorite room of all because we often gather together there, after we come home from work or school. It is a comfortable room for our family. Entering the living room from the front door we can see a new piano in the corner with a vase of colorful flowers on it. In the opposite corner stands a Sony television, which I bought for my children to watch cartoons, for us to see films, and get the daily news. Besides, there is a sofa next to the piano,a lowseat beside the TV, and also a low table between them. This is a comfortable place to sit while we watch TV or talk. On one of the light blue walls is a tranquil picture of the sea. The floor is covered with a dark red carpet, which my children like to play on. They also like to sit on it. When they watch TV, the large window is shaded by a light colored curtain, which gives the a soft bright feeling. A ceiling fan with small light is hanging from the ceiling. Whenever the fan and lights are on, we can see dangling images, which are reflected from the furniture in room. Generally, our livingroom is a place where we receive our guests. We gather togather to discuss any topic,and enjoy our leisure time.
