Nice people

These young entrepreneurs were genuinely nice people trying to make a living in Tirane, Albania.  It is a tough place and a few Leks go a long way here.  Their tiny store had just a few basics.

We walked past their shop and they were frying sausage ( meat unknown origin ) that smelt just wonderful.  Surprisingly the young woman spoke some English - she was paying attention at school apparently.

They seemed embarrassed when we asked if they would feed us.  There was no need because they served a great meal which consisted of a mixed salad with chicken and sausage all for 760 Lek - which is about $6 to $7.  It was time for us to be embarrassed.  Jim and I, the big spenders we are, chipped in a few extra Leks.

The world needs more like them.
