Clues to look for
Albanian has distinctive letters like ë and ç and words such as "Rruga" (street). Expect dry hills, olive groves, unfinished concrete houses with rebar sticking out of the roof, and the occasional old concrete bunker.
Driving side
Cars in Albania drive on the right. So do Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Bulgaria, which are also in the Balkans. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Albania
If you guess a neighbour of Albania you still score 2 points, and any other country in the Balkans scores 1 point.
