People asking for money in restaurants - and especially them being successful - worries me. I have a thing where I ask people how to get more beggars on the streets..... simply give money to the ones that are already there. Incentives matter and you get more of what you subsidise.
I'm not anti-begging per se (I've done my share of itinerant busking) but it's an unrewarding lifestyle choice and for that reason alone, I wouldn't encourage it.
Straightforward travelogues (Bryan Caplan does the same thing) are very underrated. Good post.
Really enjoyable read.

There are also tons of statues of Hillary Clinton all over Albania.
