Albania, a country full of Bunkers

Enver Hoxha ruled Albania from 1944 – 1985, and during the 1960, he built many bunkers for the “survival” of Albanians in case the country was ever invaded.  To say the least, the country was never invaded, and presently about 750,000 bunkers are scattered around the country.  Bunkers are in people’s backyards, gas stations and in burial areas. 

So, what are Albanians to do about these structures?  Some people are painting them, using them as a café, taking iron to sell, and some people are even using them for eco-tourism.  Wow!

Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red.
