      Përshëndetje të Vitit të Ri nga ana tjetër e botës, Zelanda e Re

      New Year greetings from the other side of the world, New Zealand

      Sorry, English is my only language. I drove through Kosovo in October 1989 and it’s still a happy memory. The autumn colours were amazing.

      Some friendly local kids came over while we were camping. We had a long conversation, by hand waving and pointing to a world map.

      Do any of you remember the kind of skirt shown in the photo? It was a market day. People had come to trade and shop. A few middle aged women wore these flat boards under or in their skirts.

      Is that a folk costume? Is it still worn? Google has failed to answer.

      I asked my father and he said that they woman used these bottoms to make it easier to carry heavy luggage. They would hang their water on each side so instead of tiring their hands they would use this method. He’s not sure If they have a specific confession but he said that the people from a specific region nearby (Has) used to wear their skirts like that. Fellow kosovars, if he remembered the details wrong it would be nice to be corrected in a respectful manner.
