Saturday
Today I started the day with a sleep-in, which was really nice after the late night at the balcony with Ella yesterday. But when we woke up we took a taxi to the shoppingmall Albi that is located like 5 min away from us. They had a lot of clothes-shops (not so many others), but the clothes were quite expensive (about the same prices as at home), but they were not so nice so we didn't buy much. Which might be good for our budgets... :-)
But the main reason why I was concerned about the prices were that the people in Kosovo are relatively poor, with an average salary of 200 EUR (1800 kr) a month, and most of them can then probably not afford these clothes. But what clothes they can buy I don't really know because I haven't really found any cheaper shops...
In the evening me and Ella met up with Iris from the embassy and had a very nice dinner and some wine in one of the nicer restaurants in Pristina (but the bill still only landed on 12 EUR/person). But we were also joined for a while by the auditor General (riksrevisorn) of Kosovo, which is a Swedish man that Iris knows. And on the table next to ours were the Foreign minister and another minister of Kosovo. That's one of the things I love with Pristina - all kinds of people mix and you always meet interesting people wherever you go! :-)
