Done till 6/30
Countries
Albania
- HH in Albania
- Albania is completely safe, you can easily stop cars, and it's a great way to see countryside life.
- The problem, however, is that hitchhiking is not part of Albanian culture and most drivers will expect money. I'd suggest learning the Albanian phrase for "Can you take me straight for free?" and saying that to drivers immediately when they stop. Be prepared that some drivers will refuse to take you for free. But if the first driver just goes on and leaves you waiting, almost always the second or third car will take you.
- It can happen that people expect money, because standing at the streetside asking for a ride in cars, taxis, little busses is a part of the albanian public transport system.
- i propose to hitch-hike with signs (because money-paing locals don't use this, so the drivers can expect, that you're something different).
- when a car stop, say him something like "por.... jo para.... jo problem?" (but.... no money... no problem?) (the r sayed like an english r) and make it clear with gesticulation. Then they will take you or not and you will have no problem. An other useful word: mirë (=mir) is like dobro in slavic: good/fine/ok.

- Most importantly, if you plan to travel after you're there, you should be aware that, from the official standpoint of the Serbian government, by flying into Pristina, you will have entered 'Serbia' illegally and will not be allowed to cross into what is now internationally-recognized as Serbia. The only exceptions to this, I hear, is if you get a job (and thus ID) with NATO or K4.
- Regarding entering Serbia after first going to Kosovo, what happens varies on a case to case basis. They can refuse you entry, or they will grant you entry and put new stamp in your passport, over stamp which Kosovo officials gave you, or in the third case, as it happened to one Spanish guy recently (check http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.html?gid=1004&post=4013196#post4105667) they will just tell you to cross the border, without checking you, or giving you new stamp.
