Kledia | Tirana, Albania | Week 10

This past week at work was spent mostly doing translations. We got a little bombarded with them because now everyone knows that we do a great job at them so they ask us for help. Regardless it's great practice for my Albanian and I'm learning a lot of Albanian words that I did not know before and it's cool to see how government documents are written. We also got the chance to go to a conference held by the different ministries and the Harvard group that was working at the ministries. We got to hear different ministers speak about their partnership with Harvard and their future plans for Albania.



This weekend we took a trip down south to the Albanian Riviera. One of my roomate's friends that's a Michigan student was studying abroad in Italy and decided to visit us so we got to act as tour guides. We were lucky that we chose this weekend because Monday we didn't have work. It was a National holiday and all the government offices were closed for Bajram/Eid. So we got an extra long weekend!

  1. Kledia,

    I'm sorry you felt overwhelmed with the translations. Did you end up finishing the work? The conference sounds interesting. How was the Harvard group's presentation? Was the conference held in English?

    The Riviera looks breathtaking. Good thing it was a long weekend. More time to relax!

    Best,
    Tammy
