Last week in Albania I stumbled across a street fair sponsored by the US government.
There were a bunch of stalls, each displaying activities by a different department.
And an Albanian band doing covers of Adele songs
It was weird. Doesn't America has better things to do with its largesse than serve hotdogs? And doesn't Albania have bigger problems than recreational drug use?
Either way, if USAID wants to have any impact, it should probably try making some signs in Albanian.
Too much red tape to hire an Albanian speaker to do the translation? Although, even if understood, I seriously doubt it would have dissuaded the local drug traffickers who are notorious throughout the region — heck, they seem to have even reached NYC: http://gothamist.com/2011/07/13/feds_bust_massive_albanian_mafia_dr.php
