... me, I dont really drink anymore and I just dont really feel like getting drunk like I use to. Apperently the pink palace is just full of young Americans spring break style, and I just dont think I could hack it.

... and surreal to walk through, as you expect some diehard, ex-military Hoxha fanatic to pop out and lecture you on the merits of Stalinism. On the surreal note then, it's equally peculiar to find a 1957 U.S. military jet slowly decaying on the edge of a courtyard just beyond. The story goes (according to the Communists) that it was forced down after being caught during a spy mission. Allegedly, the reality was that it was a NATO jet that ran out of fuel ...
