Tirana (pronounced: Tih-rana) is the capital and the largest city (1991 est. pop. 300,000) of Albania. It is the administrative, cultural, economic, and industrial center of the Republic of Albania.
The founding and later development of the city of Tirana were made possible by its geographic position on a fertile plain, rich in forest lands and water, and crossroads of the Adriatic and eastern Albania, and through the Qafa e K‘rab‘s valley and the Shkumbin river with the inner parts of the Balkan peninsula. The area around Tirana has been inhabited since the neolithic age.
I hope you like the information!

Apparently, in Tirana, most people sit and drink a small coffee for hours without moving - did I mention often smokes a pack of cigs with espresso?! While this is a nice hobby, there is a place near the city of students, where you can take a coffee to go. They even have small paper cups for espresso and other large American Coffee.
