Hey Gabriel, after seeing that castle I thought for sure you would spend the night there. What a beautiful little mountain town. I bet you could have found a nice room for a very low price. I am definitely going to retrace some of your trip when I can travel again. The problem is not getting out of Thailand but getting back in. It is very difficult because every week they keep changing all the rules. So it will be a while before I can travel. I guess I will have to travel with you and a few others.

The Albanian flag was modeled after Gjergj Kastrioti's family coat of arms. Skanderbeg’s helmet is made of white metal, adorned with a strip dressed in gold. On its top lies the head of a horned goat made of bronze, also dressed in gold. The bottom part bears a copper strip adorned with a monogram separated by rosettes * IN * PE * RA * TO * RE * BT *, which means: Jhezus Nazarenus * Principi Emathie * Regi Albaniae * Terrori Osmanorum * Regi Epirotarum * Benedictat Te (Jesus Nazarene Blesses Thee, Prince of Mat, King of Albania, Terror of the Ottomans, King of Epirus).

It looks very interesting. I really enjoy watching your Albania videos. Albania is a wonderful country and I miss it. I did have the chance to go over to Kosovo for a few days.

Hi Gabriel, this is one of my favourite places in Albania. It is possible to hike to the top of Mount Kruja but it's a steep one taking about 90 minutes, the road up heads up towards the left (as you're looking towards the mountain) and then goes around the back before reaching the top. Nice to see the old Bazaar again, looks amazing as you walked through.

This castle and mountain village look much better than Tirana in itself..( which really reminded me of any random communist countries..with this same blockhauses..). All this countries had to fight hard and for centuries against the ottomans, who finally conquered some of them, even imposing their religion. Skandenberg was for sure a great history character, defending his country the best way he could. I keep admiring your curiosity , energy and genuine passion for travel , discovering each and every "corner" of our planet...history, culture, architecture... geographie, language, religions...arts... showing us in detail all this hidden gems.. and explaining in the best manner possible...with the highest neutrality , different aspects of their tumultuous history..and their becoming of what they are today. What you are filming , at least part of it, should be used by history teachers..to make their teaching materiel more lively and attractive... Once again, all my admiration for miles and miles of traveling, which surely made you so cool and openminded, full of tolérance..adapting so fast to any new situation, country, language, airport etc etc...giving you for sure alot of selfconfidence . You will love Kosovo, its people, state of mind, ) and observ the big difference with Serbia..another communist , very well refurnished country..but with this same patterns used in all ex counties, under soviet influence..( Roumania, Bulgaria, etc etc). Anyway I love the way you find beautiful things to show us, from wherever you are..which means that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Don't ever change and know that often, when searching for a country or destination we go into your playlist and watch your vlogs. Like I did one of this evenings, after a hard working day, looking up for your Ukraine videos. My best wishes, Gabriel, as always, from Paris 🖐🙏

My Montenegrin tribe descends from Skender beg, the tribe of Kuci (pronounced Kuchi). He was a Serbian ruler, from the Branilovic minor aristocrat family. Branilovic in Serbian means to defend, braniti = to defend, thus the Turks translated it to Alexandros, which means the same, the male defender, and from that Greek name stems the Turkish Iskander, which later became Skender. Skender - beg was an Orthodox Serbian ruler of minor influence and wealth, the last that was actively fighting Turks, begging Vatican for help, as all the Serbian Orthodox rulers did before him, but Vatican's price was to convert to a Catholic first, which for the Orthodox would be shameful, as the Catholics were the robbers and the destroyers of The Eastern Roman Empire, heavily funded by Venice and Vatican directly, for the domination over the Mediterranean trade routes, as is the case in the present days. Skender - beg in the end became a Muslim and had gained the ease of Turkish life, thus the Turkish title of beg, which is the reason why the Serbs do not take pride in him, as he became a collaborator. The present Albanians, being populated on devastated Serbian land by Turks didn't mind, since they never had a problem with Turks, obviously. The rest of Skender-beg's closest family went to Orthodox monasteries, as was common among the Serbian aristocracy when they would reach the old age and were finally buried in the Serbian monastery of Hilandar, in The Holy Mount of Athos, Greece. (If you haven't been there and are seeking spirituality, you should visit. It is something like Orthodox Christian Tibet, minus the coca-cola.) The rest of his tribe had escaped to the highest Mountains of Montenegro and Herzegovina and had been living there a simple life till the time of new uprise against Turks had dawned, 150 years later, which made Montenegro the first Serbian country liberated from Turks, ~1690. Montenegro and Herzegovina mountains are the symbols of Serbian resistance, because whoever wouldn't agree to Turkish slavery and prefered to trade wealth for freedom went there, because the Turks were about taking over the prosperous cities, trading routes and mines in the planes, which proved to be a mistake. It is interesting to mention that the mountin chain between today's Albania and Serbia is called Prokletije (pronounced Prokletiye), from the Serbian adjective proklet, meaning damned or cursed, thus their spectacular name means The Damned Mountains : )

@@lagjescuni5482 Abazovic's real name is Abazi, he had changed it, in order to become more acceptable to the 90% Serbian voters living in Montenegro. His election has to do with Serbians being very democratic towards Albanians since the communist times and Tito's regime, which proves to be wrong, as well as the fact that the Albanians, Croats and Slovenians are heavily supported by Brits, Americans, NATO and EU, which further approves the recent shocking discovery that communism and fascism were both brewed by British MI6, as recently unclassified archives document that Lenin and Trocky were equally employed and funded by British MI6 as Hitler, Mussolini, Pavelic and Tito were. In short, communism and fascism had the same mastermind in Vatican. Albanian nation was projected in 1912, by Brits and Habsburgs who had been artificially keeping the Otoman Empire alive, in order to prevent the Russian Empire from reaching the Mediterranean basin with its trade routes, hence it took Serbs, Greeks, Romanians and Bulgarians almost 100 years to finally get rid of the last Turkish troops from Balkan. Unfortunately when they did, Albanian nation was hastily mended from two unrelating Turkic tribes, Toska and Gega, who don't even speak the same language, to the point that they had to learn each other's languages in order to communicate. Austrians were famous for ethno-engeneering as Brits were.
