The last Stalinist holdout in Europe, Albania is slowly recovering from years of neglect and now corruption and mafia control. The educated elite are leaving for Western Europe for higher wages and quality of life.
Albania is still worth a visit, though. At first blush, you see emerging modernity. A shallow scratch beneath the surface brings you back to the systemic troubles.
