1. Verkeerslichten:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1995 weigerden automobilisten in de stad Shkodra een pas ingevoerde verkeerslichtbelasting te betalen omdat er geen verkeerslichten in de stad waren.<\/p>\n

2. Ja en nee:<\/strong>\u00a0Als Albanezen knikken, betekent dat 'nee' en als ze hun hoofd schudden, betekent dat 'ja' - m.a.w. de lichaamstaal voor ja en nee is omgekeerd in Albani\u00eb (in vergelijking met de meeste andere landen).<\/p>\n

3. Verbod op religie:<\/strong>\u00a0Alle moskee\u00ebn en kerken in Albani\u00eb werden in 1967 gesloten en alle religieuze ceremonies werden verboden. In november 1990 werden religieuze praktijken legaal in priv\u00e9-aangelegenheden.<\/p>\n

4. Bunkers:<\/strong>\u00a0Er zijn ongeveer 750.000 betonnen bunkers verspreid over heel Albani\u00eb. Ongeveer 700.000 hiervan werden gebouwd tijdens het bijna 40-jarige regime van communistische dictator Enver Hoxa (1944 - 1985) ter voorbereiding op een invasie die nooit kwam.<\/p>\n

5. Moeder Teresa:<\/strong>\u00a0Hoewel Moeder Teresa in 1910 in Skopje (in het huidige Macedoni\u00eb) werd geboren, wordt ze als Albanees beschouwd omdat haar beide ouders Albanees waren. De internationale luchthaven van Tirana (de luchthaven in de hoofdstad van Albani\u00eb) is vernoemd naar Moeder Teresa.<\/p>\n

Feit: Enver Hoxha was bijna 40 jaar aan de macht in Albani\u00eb en verbood alle religie, wat zijn sporen heeft nagelaten in het land van vandaag; het onoffici\u00eble nationale motto is: \"de Albanese religie is het Albanisme\".<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Nobelprijzen:<\/strong>\u00a0De enige twee Albanezen die ooit een Nobelprijs ontvingen waren Moeder Teresa en Ferid Murad. Ferid Murad is half Albanees en half Amerikaans en won de Nobelprijs voor Fysiologie of Geneeskunde in 1998.<\/p>\n

7. McDonald's:<\/strong>\u00a0Albani\u00eb, Armeni\u00eb en Vaticaanstad zijn de enige Europese landen zonder McDonald's.<\/p>\n

8. OL:<\/strong>\u00a0Albani\u00eb heeft nog nooit een medaille gewonnen op de Olympische Spelen<\/p>\n

9. Zelfverdediging tijdens een aanval:<\/strong>\u00a0Koning Zog van Albani\u00eb (1928-1939) is de enige nationale leider in de recente geschiedenis die zichzelf heeft verdedigd met een vuurwapen tijdens een moordaanslag.<\/p>\n

10. Onafhankelijkheid:<\/strong>\u00a0Met de ondertekening van het Verdrag van Londen op 30 mei 1913 kwam er een einde aan de Eerste Balkanoorlog en werd Albani\u00eb erkend als onafhankelijke staat.<\/p>\n

Feit: Albani\u00eb was bijna 40 jaar lang een zeer ge\u00efsoleerd land door de communistische dictatuur onder Enver Hoxha. De 750.000 bunkers in het land zijn een overblijfsel uit die tijd.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
