GUIDED • 1/2 DAY • €15 PER PERSON
Intro
Personal stories are experienced best by sharing them face to face. There are things you just cannot share by posting or reading online. We hope you will experience some of these amazing feelings and create your own stories when you visit with us here at the Florian Guesthouse in Shkodër , Albania. One of life’s gifts is to share your experiences thru storytelling. Being able to transfer those thoughts and feelings with the people you know and love or those you have just met enriches one’s soul.
Florian wants to take you on a journey throughout the history of Albania. Starting from the rule of the Ottoman empire that ended in 1912. There is then the Communist Era under Enver Hoxha (Albanian Communist politician, 1908-1985) which extended 6 years after Hoxha’s death, 1991. Plus Florian shares examples of politics today making up recent developments in Albania. These stories are spoken only; parents to children, from the grandparents, generation to generation, told not from newspapers, magazines or TV but from personal experience.
Florian’s family belongs to the minority of Christian people who live in Albania. It is fascinating, Florian will share with you about the influence from the Ottoman empire, the pressures on Albanian culture to forcibly change, even how the Communist regime visited the family’s winery. Or perhaps pose the question why the people from Albania had to learn Chinese? Or why the confluences of Italian language?
