Moldova is a BEAUTIFUL country and I absolutely love being here. My teammates and i are getting along great, and the WMF Staff are the most amazing people ever (besides you, of course). They are a mixture of Moldovan's and North American's, last night we had some of the over for dinner in our little tiny kitchen and shared our stories and laughed a lot! Although I have only been her for 3 full days, here are some things I have learned thus far:
*Moldovan's really really like beets. They eat some form of beets at pretty much every meal.
*Don't talk on public transportation.
*American's are really loud
*Putting your hands in your pocket it consider the ultimate disprestful action in church
*Personal space does not matter to Moldovan's.
*The language "Moldovan" is spoken Romanian, but written Russian
*You can know anyone's political standing pretty much by the language that they choose to speak. If they are speaking in Russian, they are most likely communist.
*Don't throw your toilet paper in the toilet. It has to go in a trash can.
*Church pretty much goes on all the time! (We have a church very close to our apartment and you can always hear the bells and the choir. It is beautiful)
