— Gabriel Malor Michael Totten describes part of his journey in Eastern Europe:
My name is Michael, I said to a young boy. What's yours?Mario, he said.
Mister, where are you from? said a little girl.
America, I said.
Yay! The kids cheered.
Albania is fanatically pro-American, which is perhaps a bit counterintuitive to many Americans since it is at least nominally a Muslim-majority country. The conventional assumption that Muslims hate Americans everywhere isn't true.
Click over to read the whole thing, with pictures! I especially like his improvised sign-language for "danger." I would have freaked out too.

Did anyone else get this reference? Should it concern me that I did?
