Rantaelämää Albaniassa
... pääkau**************a rautatieaseman viereiselle aukiolle, josta busseja lähtee tasaisin väliajoin kun kuljettajan mielestä kyydissä on tarpeeksi ihmisiä. Majapaikka Durrësista järjestyi hauskalla tavalla. Etsimme erästä opaskirjassa mainittua bed&breakfast -paikkaa ja pysähdyimme eräässä kadunkulmassa kysymään jostakin parturiliikkeestä tarkempia koordinaatteja. Liikkeessä työskentelevä nainen ei puhunut sanaakaan englantia, mutta kommunikoimme siten, että hän puhui italiaa ...

"Tom" "You haf a difficult accent for us understands. We hear American accent all time."
