Moving here in Moldova is Fun!! You have to find either a Taxi or Maxi Taxi that can hold all of your belongings. We brought 6 suitcases plus 2 carry-on's with us, so finding a vehicle big enough was hard. Thanks to Argentine we were able to move all of our belongings in 1 trip. We are glad to be settled in our new home. We have hot running water, lights, Internet, a warm place to sleep, what more could you ask for!!!! WE live in what is called a block. When the Russians occupied this country they built these 10 story or more buildings out of cement. (So they look like a block!) When they left this country they told the people they could own them or rent them. Most wanted to own, but they didn't set up any kind of homeowners association for the building, so no one takes care of the outside, or no one owns the outside. If you live on the top floor of the building and the roof leaks you fix the roof, but only the part you live under, etc..., very interesting way to do business. Our apartment is very nice on the inside, but the outside looks like an abandoned building. The garbage dumpster is at our front door, and if the stray dogs and cats get in it, it looks like we live in an abandoned building setting in the garbage pile. When is snows it covers it all up and looks quite nice. We are getting use to our surroundings, and it's starting to feel like this is home.
