Translates to “Worked to Death”
During what could have been one of the busiest days at the Colosseum (I guess it couldn’t really ever have a quiet day, it’s spectacular), I managed to capture this image, just about eliminating any of the horrible modern barriers and the floods of people herded through them. Unmodified and uncropped.
While en route to the capital city of Albania (Tirana), we passed a number of amazingly old fashioned modes of transport. This photo of a couple on a Honda 50 shows the typical and primative means for which people have to get from A to B as a result of Albania’s social and economic collapse after the collapse  of a nationwide pyrimad scheme which plunged the country into gaining third world status including the collapse of a government in 1997 and riots in which over 2,000 people were killed.
