Another Reason to Travel to Albania
As part of what’s quickly becoming an ongoing reasons to visit Albania series, HostelBloggers have dug up another one: Albania is the only country in the world whose government has fallen to a pyramid scheme. (It was during the mid-90s and about two thirds of the population were implicated…)
We picked up the scent over at the reliably ribald Roadjunky.com, where they’re running a feature on 101 examples that the world is as crazy as ever and that fly in the face of the creeping uniformity of globalization.
Whether the Albania factoid makes for an amusing story of other people’s misfortune or a rather endearing (if tragic) tale depends rather on how cold-hearted you are. But toss it in with all the other oddball facts about the country, and you’ve undoubtedly got a complete one-off of a travel destination.
