Re: Where am I?

Was it the Air Albania Stadium? Just had a look at the pictures of it. Google maps had the old ground when I went to have a look I think. Looks really strange, like it has a big Chimney on it.
Shame about the atmosphere, and around the city it no being obvious but then is that more on our culture and expectations of what we have experienced of a derby.
Albania is a not a country that would jump out at me of one that I would think of going to.
Would you recommend it for general tourism?

Yes, it was the Air Albania stadium and is spectacular from the air (having seen aerial shots).
The question about general tourism is a difficult one to answer. It's worth a city break but it's not 'daring', as it were.
Europe is becoming very homogenous in many ways and going off the beaten track is becoming more difficult (Transnistria probably being the wackiest place).
The rest of Albania is a contrast to Tirane and rather down at heel.
For my part, I find interest in everywhere I go but it depends what you are after.

Thank you for that, city break is fine. Like you have said alot of Europe is becoming homogenous in many ways which is a shame.
Thank you for you updates.

Re: Where am I?

Really good. This city is incredibly sophisticated and the modern architecture stunning. Courtesy of drug money to some degree, I have read.
It's different in other cities here and a far cry from the last time I was in the country where there were pigs around ground floor flats and when some of the very cars on the road had plywood side windows!

This is why international travel can be so rewarding.
I have a mental image of how I'd expect the capital city of Albania to look -
".... sophisticated and the modern architecture stunning" isn't what I envisaged.

By that, do you mean the ever increasing steel/glass type structures along with the ubiquitous brand name stores?

Or a sense of missing a local flavour being replaced by a flavour that you could find in many European Cities regardless of the country that they are in?

A bit of both - although many of the modern high-rise buildings here in Tirana are dating and stunning.

Probably looks better than Swansea, have they got a quadrant and a swimming pool
