Buna Dimineata
I was in Falesti two months ago when three volunteers showed a video shot in Moldova, centering on a common problem in a Moldovan village; What do you do when you have a lot of wine with you and you can't find anyone to drink with?
Thanks Priya for putting a link online. Now everyone who reads this blog can get the best possible visual representation of the village:

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Peter, I'm so happy to have found your blog. I have hosted a Moldovan exchange student under the FLEX program for the past 10 months; she will be returning to her family in Balti at the end of this month. She is a wonderful young woman, and I'll miss her so much, even though we'll certainly keep up through email. Of course, I've learned a lot about Moldova during the past year, and I'm eager to know more. I'm going to start at the beginning of your blog and read it through. I can tell from the entries I've read that your scenes from Moldovan life will enrich my knowledge of the country. Thanks! And congratulations on your commitment to 2 years with the Peace Corps, a worthy endeavor.
Shamonmj- Link away, by all means. Just put in a link to my site in, as well. Are you a Moldovan studying in the US?
Jules- I'm glad that you've been able to meet at least one Moldovan. Please send me an e-mail at pmyers@bbqbacon.com, because I'd love to know more about the FLEX program from a host family's standpoint.
What is really striking about this video - an incredible amount of Russian words.
Andrei- Moldovan= 95 percent Romanian + 5 percent Russian.
I noticed, in particular, that the line "o leaca de gin" would be completely imcomprehensible to your average Romanian.
I once used the term o leaca in Bucharest and the taxi driver laughed and said his grandma used that term once.
