When it comes to hip factor, the town of Permet in south-eastern Albania does not score high points. But I see a lot of kindness in the eyes of the people I meet on this short visit.

Not so much seem to have changed sins the days of Enver Hoxha communist regime. The shops  have that size and style that was top fashion about 1960.

In the park persons from all generations gather. It´s the same ritual every night, people sitting on the benches or walking around checking out other interesting persons.

The material wealth of Albania is so different from Sweden and yet in Permet the locals  seem to have a good situation !
