GACKT OFFICIAL WEIBO – AUG 10 2017

GACKT Official Weibo update. Translation below:

Waited for 5 hours in Vienna airport.
So I looked up a little on Albania.

Before,
while searching, the most influential topic was
there was more than 30% of the population being involved in MLM
lost their assets
but all of them didn’t even realised it.
This is amazing.

Also,
after the Second World War, this country had gone into a isolation period,
they totally closed themselves up from 1978 onwards.
All the way till 1990.
That means until 27 years ago they’re still in an isolated situation…

Unknown to people, they seemed to be known as the poorest country in Europe…
Being the only Muslim assisting state in Europe it’s really a rare sight.

The flight duration was short, in no time I have reached Albania.

Due to Euro is not usable here
I thought I should change some money in the airport
so I walked towards the money changer in the airport.

After I handed over 100Euro to the uncle at the airport’s money changer

“Why do you need to change so much? No, no
The rates now is not good, go change on the streets!”

It’s not the first time I’m told this.

“Is alright to use Euro, I’ll change them into smaller notes for you”
With that said, I got the 100Euro broken up
this was my first experience.

Such things do happen… so I went to the cafe in the airport.
The ambience was very good.
I ordered cappuccino here
It’s delicious.
When I was about to pay for my check with my card, I was told they only accept cash.

“Cash only in the airport??? What the hell???”

This too was my first experience.
I took out the euro and they should be able to change them into local currency.
I should mentally count the ratio?
The staff passed the money over to me half-heartedly.

I went up the taxi and headed towards the hotel.

I started looking around the road and there’s nothing…

I reached the hotel.
Today
I had Italian food.

I’m very surprised that the cooking skill is pretty high.
This restaurant indeed is a high-class one
but the skill of preparing the food is really high.

Then I proceed to pay for the bill.
It’s super cheap!!!!!

This is bad…
This country, is a little scary.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
