# 1 grndson called via Skype from Tirana, Albania, early this afternoon; showed me around his apartment, the neighborhood, etc. I was very well impressed; nice-looking neighborhood; very nice 2nd floor apartment with balcony/terrace; could be in Anywhere, USA; hardwood floors, stainless appliances in American-looking kitchen, nice furniture/fixtures throughout; ceramic tile and modern fixtures in bathroom; 'was "shocked," though, when I saw electrical receptacle at about chest height on back, inside wall of ceramic shower stall. Small electric water heater is mounted in upper, rear corner of shower stall; electric cord for the heater is plugged into the receptacle! Cost of living there seems to be about a third of that in Paris. So far, he's very well pleased. BTW, coupla days ago, I mentioned that I'd like for 'im to register at the American embassy - he says it's next door and sort of fortress-looking, and he walks past it to his job about 10 minutes away. I said, "Great! S o stop in and let 'em know you're there."
He has been to a shopping mall nearby and bought some nice-looking shirts and khaki pants.
