dude, you cant go to albania and not go to the beautiful albanian alps (valbona and theth) in the north or the beautiful albania riviera beaches (dhermi and borsh) in the south. also, the ancient ruins in apollonia, gjirokastor and butrint.
Ethan Matthews exactly what I was thinking. Also you missed out on a lot of delicious food (not just sufllaqe and byrek) Well till next time i guess 😁😊
Thank dude I am from Albania
Indigo Traveller you most welcome bro. Loving your videos.
Hey i am one of those boys in albania at pyramide
Hey mate! It was nice meeting you guys!
I'm impressed of your jumping skills.!
yeah impressed. Be careful :)
Awesome :D great skills
Awesome video & a big Thank youuuu. You made so many positive comments about Albania during the entire video. 😍😍
that building is the ex-museum of Enver Hoxha (hodga), the communist dictator of Albania. He ruled Albania with an iron fist from 1945- 1985 (when he died). Just to give you an idea, with an example you can relate to, Traveling to foreign countries was not permitted, Albanians had no passports to leave Albania even within Albania movements were closely followed by the secret police. if you were caught trying to escape the country you would either get executed right there and then and after the body would be dragged in the villages close to the border to scare the people. Or if you were lucky you would get 15 years imprisonment and your family would be exiled to a God forsaken village to live in shame and with no rights to higher education or good jobs or good marriages. the pyramid museum ' architecture was done by his daughter (Pranvera Hoxha), who was an architect married to one of the best architects of Albania (Klement Kolaneci). On top, where now it is only a small dome, used to have a big red star, a communist symbol. "Workers of 5 continents unite against blood sucking capitalists". It used to be beautiful and shiny marble. There were several attempts to re-purpose it but it did not work out. Currently there is a plan to renovate it and make it more glamorous and the purpose is still being debated.
Wow.... No words. That is some hard to read history. Insane... Thank you so much for letting me know though. Cheers, Nick.
Balkan is the best place ever until you mention borders .. then you will have a show.
Haha true that.
Hahahaha😂😂
One of my coolest memories is from climbing down that pyramid. I am from the country side and when I was a kid I visited my aunt that lived in Tirana and she took me there, and I still remember how happy that made me.
The Piramida was intended to be a Museum for Enver Hoxta, who was the Communist dictator of Albania until communism collapsed in the 90's. It was then used as a conference center until fell into disrepair. I believe that there's a plan to knock it down, but the locals want to keep it.
Crazy, super interesting, thanks
its going to be renovated into a museum or something like that , the actual conditions reflect the feeling for those bitter times
Great video! Nice vlog in total! was great to meet you at the pyramide!!! Have a safe trip!
Peace
Cheers Roland! Was cool to meet you too dude! Hope you are well. Hit me up on facebook!
Glad you enjoyed your time in Albania too. Went there and was impressed by how friendly the people were. Have fun and stay safe Nick.
Loved seeing the local kids in the video, cool to see that side of things and not just the touristy
Thanks Jasmine!
your videos have improved a lot mate!!! I am uploading videos from my recent time in Albania and I was seeing what else is out there and of course I stumbled across this! Unfortunately access to the pyramid is closed now! They are redeveloping it into some sort of community centre youth / technology centre, it is actually pretty cool. I did sneak in to try and get some shots but I was yelled at and told to leave by the guys working there
Your videos are inspirational..keep the good vibes rolling Nick !!
Thank you so much! :)
I'm glad you had fun in Tirana, Albania :) 👍
I'm happy that you will visit my country Kosovo next !
Have Fun 😃
Thanks mate! Appreciate your ongoing support! :) 👍
I had to look up Albania even though i had heard of the name. Interesting. Cool video as always. ;)
Cheers Carlos! It is a very interesting area of the world, and like you say, not many people know it's location. Cheers!
It seems like people have great English in Albania, which in my opinion is great. Even the kids had awesome English.
Ofcourse us kids learn english from 3 grade till 9th lol in albania we good at english lel
@Despitewhatyouthink thats because when those 35 year olds when they where 8 9 or 10 they didint do english back then thats why lol think before you say
I did take it the wrong way
I forgive you :/
@Despitewhatyouthink It's okay. You ain't wrong though. The people past 30 know nothing, besides Yes or No. Sometimes they would just start respond in different languages, such as Greek, Italian. The youth definitely has improved and, there is actually a rare group of young generation that doesn't know at least one foreign language. The entire Albanian young population is at least fluent in one foreign language, or bilingual. It's a good thing to know other languages besides your native language. Greetings from Albania.
The population of Tirana is near 1 million in 2017 man not 400k. I wish you had a great trip.
Thanks mate, but I think that is the region population, no?
@@IndigoTraveller city & suburbs.
I asked a friend about Kosovo a few months ago because I wanted to go there. She told me that they are building there lots of new buildings and that the best thing you can do there is partying :D
Right, I only had a brief visit of the place, I am upload that video right now from today of exploring a bit of the capital city of Pristina. Interesting place, extremely nice people. I barely scraped the surface, I would like to return and learn more.

Well that’s a comfort at 2:03. In Durrës I looked at this wall and it was in Slavic language (Serbian I assume). It was saying something bad about Albania and my brain was like “Motrat n’goj kush e ka shkruajtur”.
Next time you’re there, I’d recommend going to the southern city of Sarande and then take the 30 min boat ride the the Grecian Island of Corfu.
I’ve got some American Missionary friends who would love to host you and show you around. Very serious offer. Great video!
Your videos are totally raw!!!💯
That's my boy climbing that thing, nice job there mate. I would have been scared af :D I'm too much of a chicken, I guess you are what you eat :D Bro these vids are absolutely crazy, I can't wait for you to come back, and hang out with some "nice" Soproni :D You'll have some stories to tell I assume
Maybe you are what you eat, or maybe you are what your profile picture is... Haha cheers David! Thanks man, can't wait to catch up with you too, but not with a Soproni, maybe a nice Edelweiss :D
Thank you for visiting Albania & Kosova
I love Ur video Thanks so much U vist Albania ❤️❤️
Thank you!
one of my fav rappers is from albania shout out to action bronson
I never knew he was from Albania, I saw him live once!
wait. as in action bronson from munchies?!?! he's Albanian? ? so cool!! never knew 😊
Hi man you have done a great job with the video about albania its a great country with good attitude towards foreigners so anyone is elcome including serbs and greeks well done and next time when u visit albania go to shkodra north albania good place to visit
Hi Nick, The Pyramid was built (by his daughter) in 1988 as a museum to Enver Hoxha who ruled Albania for 50 years. When communism collapsed across Europe in November 1989, people began to destroyed dictatorship symbols of the past, including the Tirana Pyramid, hence the cars burning outside. Hope to visit it myself in a few weeks time.
Oh wow, fascinating, thank you for the information!
@@IndigoTraveller that particular picture was actually from a protest turned violent on 21/01/2011, led by the head of the opposition which is now the prime minister, the building you see on the background was completed in 2006 so the picture cant be from the 90's
Go 2 green/spille there are amazing restaurants at a beach full of people with nice foooood
Fantastic indeed.! BTW what's your next destination in Asia? My guess is Sri Lanka :)
Thanks Jan! Not Sri Lanka! Video with the answer uploading now :)
Loving this series! Thanx for sharing. Next time ask right people and they will truly help you find even more hidden gems (no not malls 😂). Also if you come back to Kosovo I’d truly recommend Rugova (Peje) the mountains are unbelievable, the cleanest air and water you’ll experience :) cheers!
Pristina, Kosovo is Smaller than Tirana but it's as dynamic , especially at night.
But the coolest city in Kosovo is Prizren in my opinion , beautiful old city with a fortress , river , beautiful scenery and food ( the best ).
Thanks for the tips mate, I won't have time for Prizren sadly. Next time!
The Pyramid was built as a museum/shrine to dictator Enver Hoxha housing all of his memorabilia and belongings (kind of like a modern-day Pharaoh). I remember going there as a kid when it opened as a museum. It was very grand and ornate with red carpeting and roundabout architecture with an open center. I think it had 3 stories and each told a chapter of the story of Hoxha's life through objects belonging to him (army uniform, books, gun etc.) and the Communist party. I think in the 90s it became a dance club and then a convention center and now seems abandoned.
The pyramid looked the same when I was there 10 years ago, but recently a saw a picture of a conference and all the politicians in front of that pyramid. So I guess it's been renovated and if you were to visit in 2024 you would not be able to climp it anymore
If you go to kosovo again go to gjakova it’s a small city but it’s really nice and beautiful
That Kuwait plaque is so random.
I wonder how English was becoming fluently spoken in Albania (and Kosovo). Every time I watch any TH-cam videos that interview random people from Albania and Kosovo in English, they did speak it very well.
Nice footage Nick. Been curious about what camera you're using to film. Do you have two? Lemme know when you've got a minute. Cheers
Hey Ian, All my camera gear is linked in the description of every video, cheers :)
Thanks Nick. I've nearly got through all your vlogs now. The editing is great and you have quite the eye for some moments. Keep up the good work!
Cheers Ian!!
RESPECT
Great!!!
When you introduced yourself to the kids, a movie line popped up in my mind. Someone was about to kill someone in the movie. "Say hello to old Nick from me". Is your name an English name for the Devil and is it obvious to all the native English speakers? You know your English better than me :-) I liked this video very much. Indeed, the pyramid, not a regular and well known tourist attraction....
Hahaha Yo! I thought My name came from Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas.... Doesn't he live in your country anyway?.. Haha I dunno about the devil, maybe I am the devil? Cheers mate :)
Support from Skopje,Macedonia :D
+Spartäkuß MK thank you!🍻

Sounds great, thank you!
You should visit Elbasan Albania there are beautiful things there and ITS MY CITY
Next time :)
You need to get back there. We have a large number of Albanians seeking asylum in the UK and the reasons are disturbing and sad. Albania is a nation experiencing trauma for a long time.
did you feel in danger at anytime while staying there ?
Thanks for visit kosvo bro
Thanks for having me!
Burek with meat is the best have it every year
My brothers friends come from Tirana. They had to leave because the husband had received death threats because of his Uncle who was a policeman and he killed the murderer of his Brother.

Indigo, this is Space, coming to you from the future.....remember to have a one US ($) dollar in cash in your pocket and hang on to your sunglasses, when you enter Dakha airport......just saying.....:-)
Hahahahaha love this comment!
Let-s be honest. It-s epic......:-)
i love ALBANIA
I see a lot of similarity with Georgia and Albania
The pyramid was build as a Massoleum to the late dictator. My mother took me there when I was a kid in late 80s and it was actually beautiful than
2:11 hahaha 👐
I am from Albania
I live in Albania Elbasan!!
That pyramid is the Illuminati
I saw you video in Tirana and u lost the best part of Tirana the block area
Well the pyramid first was built for the museum for our dictator Enver hoxha then it was a television studio and now it’s just an building thet we kids climb
i climbed the pyramid when i was 7
Nice 👍🏽
Cheers!
Nick, your videos blow me away. It seems I can hardly watch anything else these days. I like old, unusual or wrecked up places too, like that piramid, real things, not things being presented to tourists. I also loved the train station in Tripoli. That was unbelievable.
I once saw a steam locomotive still sitting on tracks in a ghost town in New Mexico. I thought that was cool (which it was) but that train station in Tripoli blows it away totally.
I like your way of looking at the world. I'm trying to think of what you would like in North America. You might like Newfoundland or British Columbia. There are also lots of very cool places in the northeastern US, lots of fantastic scenery. And there may still be what I used to call industrial scenery, old buildings from the days when the north eastern US ran on water power.
I bet you would like the Southern US. It has some amazing things and very friendly people.

It's high on my list!
Oh really, thats nice to hear many beaches and waterfalls here you could enjoy but dont stay in manila area its traffic and populated you must go to beautiful provinces like masbate,camarines sur, albay,sorsogon, palawan, iloilo, cebu,batanes,bohol,ilocosnorte laguna, batangas and many more..have you been to any countries in asia?
yeah!!! currently in Mindanao. Def my favourite Asian country.
Ozzie Foodie oh really....hope you enjoyed much there
Yo the weird stuff from the communist era you were looking for is a bit far from the city center not to mention that even the people there find it hard to remember coz most consider those things garbage and there is not much left. If you only knew there are two cold war bunkers, one is right behind the mosque at the city center and the other is far east uptown close to the mountain. People call them Bunkart 1 and Bunkart 2. Here is a google link of both locations: www.google.ca/maps/search/bunkart/@41.3383764,19.8227188,14z/data=!3m1!4b1
Also you got two to three castles that you can visit but again they are far from the city, one being on the west side of it on top of a hill overlooking airport and the second on southwest side of the city along a hilly national road leaving the city.
Just one more thing, probably been hearing it a lot, you have to go south, not only for nature and the beach but there are more cold war stuff down south.
Hello bro i live in tirana this is called piramida in albanian and it was gallery when albania was in comunizm. And its not ilegal do climb here😂 everyone climbs it

That pyramid was a museum build by the communist regime to commemorate the brutal Albanian communist dictator Enver Hoxha that died in 1985.
Last time I looked in to it they were going to demolish it and build something else there.
Thanks for the information mate!
Like you say, stuff like that pyramid is interesting to tourists. However to the locals it is a reminder of a painful past.
As an Albanian myself, I think it should not be demolished. Let it stay there as a reminder of the past. Because those who forget the past are bound to repeat it.
There was a proposed development that would be build around and over the pyramid in order to preserve it as a tourist attraction. However I think another design was approved that will demolish the pyramid.
