Every two days, promptly at 8am, this truck picks up the garbage from the designated local bins, and deals with the difficulty of having an open ended rear....everything is picked up by hand! The remaining litter on the street is swept away a while later by the foot patrol of street cleaners (usually women in colorful uniforms).
Right near the large main Skanderbeg square, in the maze of internal narrow streets amidst tall buildings and remnants of old properties, a homeless man with his ambulatory 'cargo of possessions' - an unusual sight here, compared to New York.
Across the street, the display of clothes drying in the sunshine, is a daily occurrence - it's always wash day for the housewives of Tirana.
A couple of blocks away, the modern bus shelter, is always crowded with waiting passenger....although the rides are quite frequent.
One of the city's main boulevards, named after the ex monarch (Zog I), and repaved last year.
