Ashiana

I finally went to Albania's first Indian restaurant last night. It's not easy to find unless you know where you should look (it's in a basement on a side street near the river), but is totally worth tracking down. There's no tandoor (because they're in the basement, I guess), but the palak paneer and channa masala are great. Actually, everything was great except for the onion bhaji, which had no spice at all. Also, they make "chicken lollipops." I see myself returning often. Next task: finding the Mexican restaurant.

In other news, the new Ulrich Schnauss album has been released, so I'm enveloped in a warm blanket of electro-shoegaze. Also, the weather is amazing. Hopefully it'll stay like this for my trip to Montenegro next week.

Not yet, but I think I'm going going back there tonight, so you never know :)
