813 down; 7 to go
With barely a week left in Moldova, I am half going crazy, half sad and half very excited. I know, that's three halves. I have more emotions right now than normal - so I get an extra half. I've said it before -- something I will miss in Moldova is sincerity - people take the time to be extra, extra nice to you - and words are heavy here - you say something, you mean it. If you don't say something, what's your problem, dude?
So here are the top 7 things people have "toasted" me for in Moldova. (Instead of a simple "cheers" toasts are personal, include wishes for future, health, and the state of the world. And they happen pretty often).
1) My health
2) The health of my family
3) The health of my future children
4) To find love - not someone beautiful, but someone who understands you
5) To stay how you are, always
6) Happiness, wealth and success.
7) Most recently - that we will meet again, and soon.
