Flag of the Week: Albania

I recently saw a strange red and black flag hanging on a house opposite where I live. It took me a few days of asking around, but I eventually found out that it's the national flag of Albania. It was hanging on the house because an Albanian building company, SGN Bucolli, has been renovating the house.

All I can say about the flag is Wow! It's the most artistic flag I've ever seen. Just compare it with the other European flags, which are mostly just three stripes on a piece of cloth. Boring.

Over the next few weeks I'll present a few other world flags and give my opinion on them. I doubt any of them will be as good as Albania's.
