1,MW vs. Kosovo Albanian Spring 2000 part.2 The Day of Protest
Since the city was almost evacuated and most of people with energy was heading for north, there were only few youth, lots of children and elder people. Almost 95% of shops were closed. Few 'with little efuel' guys tried to say something. But weak.
Once 3 kids talked to us from their flat, curiosity, no humiliation
several kids in front of a closed shop, tried to surround us simply because we are Asian "oo kinezkinez!!", "Give me one!" (1 what??) made our way with force.
1 Translator helped us for 10 minutes. even invited to his house.
Genearl Tendency: Albanians somehow try to share their feeling in a big event
Several people who also wanted to go to KM (Mitrovica) treated us as if we're in one group with them.
Though we changed the car 5 times, twice, the running cars opened their doors to us. Also nobody charged from us
2 children from Urosevac (14 and 15 Ferizaj in Albanian) always helped us by carrying our baggage though they never stop calling us 'Chang-chung' (In their mind, the sound appears like a name).
One of these children smoked.
A 22-year-old girl (student) helped us all the way. She was the first Kosovo Albanian who recognized our feeling about Kosovo Albanians and we had to talk all our opinion to her. She could accept it.
a guy got out for 5 mins to get breads for us.
lots of people couldn't avoid hitting us even though the girl (with us) wore pink and it was visible (since they could recognize us as Japanese even when we're 20ms away in dark). Because of fatigue!?
A guy offered us a lift, even accommodation with satellite TV.
Lots of people recognized us and say 'Japanese', even though the shouting itself never change anything, they can't stop doing so.
- In kombi (minibus), 2 boys (16-18?) didn't stop laughing since they saw Japanese in their car.
- The driver slowed down whenever we tried to take pictures.
- 2 kids (10-12 years old) 'hihello shiungshungshong' not polite enough, we transformed in battle mode "ti si budala?" (R U fool? NB. ti si = Serbian, budala = Albanian) We found that we've got a new strange ability, spread strong negative energy within 2 seconds.
- A young guy (20?) "hi man" and smiled, nothing more cheering was the purpose!?
- In a cafe restaurant, "ICE coffee" nod without reconfirmation. Then they carried exactly we expected; NES cafe.
- 1600 the electricity stopped again in PR. this page is being made with battery-support.
