Why would you even get here?

What is so special about this country that it would be worth to choose it from around 200 countries in the world, huh? 

That's what I'm trying to determine by being here. But first let's focus on official data.

They say that it's the poorest country in Europe, maybe. The statistics could even confirm that. But it's not a point. There is nothing attractive in poverty. 

It's still an undiscovered tourist destination, what for many people makes it interesting at once. How many of your friends were here? How many of them know where it's located? Mine - when I bragged I'm going to move here, reacted like it would be somewhere in Central Asia, along with Kazakhstan! (Yeah, I'm very, very ashamed of them!). Well, that is a plus, defenitely. 

It's one of the countries that have the frozen conflict on its teritory. Ever heard of Transnistria? They say is a unique communism times' museum. And you can just go there and check it out. Sounds pretty atractive to me.

Chisinau is the greenest capital of Central - Eastern Europe. That's what I read and that's what is visible even in the middle of the winter - there are plenty of trees. Green leaves are something one must wait for, but spring should be really beautiful here. Another plus.

And the last thing - languages. Moldovan is bilingual country, where most people speak Romanian (or Moldovan - they say you can pick up the name according to your political orientation) and Russian. 

Russian is what I've learnt from some time and I want to be better in it. And Romanian is the most beautiful language in the world :) 

These points are the reason that made me come to Chisinau. They may be enough also for you. But if they are not, please take your time and let me convince you with my discoveries. 


As a bonus - first pictures of Chisinau, district Botanica. 

 That's how looks every street, full of trees along it.
