« Well, like what we see now on TV, according to what they say, we [Albanians] are Europeans. Not just now after the borders opened up, but the culture and everything is European. This is the way it has to be. This is not a subjective view. It is just the way it is. That is the bad thing that Hoxha did to us: he kept us imprisoned within this thing [this country]. But we do have culture. »
« Well, look now … ever since we came here we had set our minds on having fun the Greek way (laughing) and us too becoming, and coming closer to Europe […] Because in Albania where we lived, we weren’t used to this kind of stuff - to going out and doing things. There weren’t any bars and stuff like that, and we also didn’t have enough money to go out. That’s how it was. Now, we have come here and we’ll do like the Greeks. »
