A
description of a place
Tirana, a city that changes within minutes. In the morning, on weekends, it seems as if it has not yet
awakened, a city clad in the cloak of eternal tranquility.
Empty roads, no people, no cars, no noise, no dust. The city has not yet opened its eyes. The relentless
traffic and people's journey into the rut, as if forgetting to come out. A peaceful panorama of paradise,
suddenly transformed into a variety of human buzzes and everything enters a cycle of total confusion.

In a matter of minutes everything changes, the city, the people, the life. For a while our imagination
leads Tirana to compare places in the west, at first calm, cleanliness, order, a quiet life, but within
minutes everything breaks into imagination and the city takes on another look. Change is so fast that
you are not ready to perceive the new reality. The city turns into a devil's journey. People walking in all
directions, unaware of where they left off and where they will go, cars are no longer needed, immigrants
with 20,000-euro cars who raise the sound of cassettes with songs from centuries past, young people fill
endless premises, beggars, occasional bystanders, simple or even vain.
City life immediately loses balance, crowds crowd, people turn around even though they don't have a
job. Calm is "killed", now the metropolis is "occupied" by those who give it life, though often in the
wrong way. The big change overcomes Tirana. At the top of the revolution there are revolutionaries, but
crowds of people "take their lives" to the city and turn it into total chaos, where not even the smartest
can find its way. The public calm is hidden by the hidden revolt of the crowds, which are silently staring.
City life is very narrowly conceived, strolling among the dust, cafes and then comes the terrible closure
of the home, depriving itself of real life.

Citizens kill time in the ugliest way possible. A whole people of no purpose, and they all swarm around
the main squares or streets, strangling the metropolis. An entire self-formed society, everyone strives to
be emancipated or developed after living in the city, drinking coffee on the block and walking around all
day.

The whole world at the weekend is changing the environment, preferring the places with clean, relaxing
and relaxing air, while the culture of spending a weekend in Albania narrows to the maximum possible.
