Traveling To Gjakova
My partner and I reached out to our subject and we decided to meet at the bus station and travel to Gjakova together. In theory this sounds incredibly easy but traveling to a bus station in a foreign counties is much harder than expected. I asked the worker at the hotel to call me a cab and he was even nice enough to talk to the cab driver in Albanian before I left.
I arrived at the bus station with no issues but finding the bus seemed to be tougher than I expected. At the bus station, one has to go to the bus that they would like to and then pay for their ticket there. Well This is a fairly large bus station and there was a lot of people there on a Sunday afternoon. I arrived an hour early and I was still extremely stressed right up until I got on the bus. My partner only arrived ten minutes before the bus left, so I was on my own for a good amount of time.
The bus ride went very smoothly, it was an hour and a half ride even with multiple stops along the way. I was happy that this ride seemed to be an easy one because I was already sure that this was the project that I wanted to do.
We sat down and talked with Lorik and he seemed to be even more interesting that I could have expected. He has just turned eighteen and he has won multiple Master level Classical Guitar contests around Europe. He has been accepted to a college in Germany to study under one of the best Classical Guitarists in the world.
I am positive that this will be my subject.
