Albanians have not lacked fantasy, not even courage. Journalist Ilir Ikonomi posts on his Facebook page three Albanian inventions -- practical but dangerous -- that date back to 1919-20.
1. “Tren” With horses slipping over dekovil tracks abandoned by Austrians on Durres-Tirana Street.
2. Bridge on Ottoman - period Shkumb, but adapted to a wooden and rail platform for motorized transportation of foreign armies during World War I
3. Wooded carusel in Elbasan. In the picture are nurses and an American Red Cross officer to see the weird wooden toy.
