Where is Moldova, anyway?

Musings on my Peace Corps experience in this small, Eastern European, Republic.
 

more pics, i hope!

Again, if you click the pictures, they will enlarge!







A glimpse into my life. Here, you see my bathroom. It is outside, around the corner, through the chicken coup and next to the corn. It's really not that bad, I just thought an actual picture of my hole in the ground (in an outdoors closet) would help let you understand.


















A few of the volunteers with a statue that is being purposely preserved from Soviet times. Look closer.





















A display of wine outside the wine factory. Fancy, huh? That is this thing with Moldova that I don't completely understand. People are very obsessed with things being beautiful or "frumos".... and while this may seem like an excessive display, it's all for the frumos factor. I think it has a lot to do with pride....


























My host mother (she is a microbiologist at the wine cellar) with me in the cellar (the super long cellar that our village is famous for!).




















The Milestii Mici sign that welcomes people to our village. Fancy, isn't it?




















The kitchen table in my house. Notice what I am making. Yes, a mess, but other than a mess, Pomegranate salad. It was sooo super and my host family loved it (they have been waiting for me to cook something since I have been here). And all the ingredients are readily available and cheap. So I enjoyed it, although it wasn't exactly "cooking."
