Albanians are idiosyncratic. More than 400 years, the Ottomans occupied the country, was still not much back from them. And not just because Hoxha was demolished everything. In the minds there was nothing. They are above all what they have always been: Albanians.
you are interested first and foremost for themselves, but are not nationalistic. They are proud of their past, but if you want to know something about it, you better ask a foreigner because the Albanians do not even go very carefully with their history.
Even their language sounds idiosyncratic. I tried to impress me something, but I have not done much. Actually only: O Cuni (pronounced dschuni) means something like: Hey, boy! You say when you called here a (young) waiter. Joerg says the Albanians get along with relatively few words. As a foreigner, I can tell, but there is one thing that has made me a bit stunned.
Albania is now indeed a distinct coastal state, but they did not have a word for seagull. Since the official founding of the Reich would have over 700 years ago have actually lost one or the other gull to Albania. In any case, enough time to give it a name. But somehow, the Albanians did not attempt it.
I imagine how the first Albanians were sitting on the coast and watched the gulls sailing. And perhaps one has said, "Oh, what a pretty bird!"
"Hm"
"We should give him a name."
"Hm"
break.
you see the seagulls and think about a name. Suddenly one says: "Looks like a white chicken."
"Hm"
break.
then turns around and the clan chief asks: "Who is for white chicken"
Since then, they are called white chickens. And their wings are called arms. I just wonder what if would have been the American novelist Richard Bach an Albanian? How, then, his most famous book would have been: The white chicken Jonathan? Amusing thought. A chicken, which crashed in ambitious record hunting in a nosedive into the sea ...
Are they like the Albanians? More practical bent? Not to say: lethargic? But some were speaking. They produce nothing themselves, can import everything. This too is reason for the dramatic unemployment. It is as if they would not dare, to develop their own products and bring it to market. Or they may simply not feel? Are they on their way to Europe, but are waiting for a taxi that brings them there?
then how do you like this story. A true to it. The Albanians were probably the only nation that has refused to extradite Jews in Nazi Germany. They found that simply indecent. So they have not done it. This leaves the tearful drivel of the ancients, the deportations to have actually had no liability because the danger was so great for one's life, show them in a different light. Was the threat to the Albanians is not the same as everyone else?
A fluke? No. About ten years ago the former President Berisha has ruined his people with a pyramid scheme. And by that I mean, all ruined. There was - quite contrary to the other Albanian mentality - riots, after which Berisha gave the military command to fire on the people. The military, however, refused
the command. If you have owned before? A military who refuses an order to shoot? Never refuse military orders to shoot, but always taken responsibility for it. An impressive people. If it matters, if it is really important to make the right decisions. Although ... they have re-elected Berisha. He is already president. Not to grasp.
War because no one else there? Or is it the same as with the seagull? You'd have to invent something new to arrange things. It could of course also remain the same.
If so, then I would know the name of their president: black chicken. So, just a thought.
