« I joined -I was one of the first women to join the [Albanian] association, years ago, in order for us to be organized, to make an effort to save our culture. [To have] a cultural association, not a political one. To try to stage plays, to learn about the traditional costumes, you know, about the clothing.

« Eh, I don’t know. Sometimes, for example, my mother tells me "Today is such-and-such a day." How would I remember? "Really, mom?" Eh, we celebrate them.
