Well, that's supposed to say "What's new?" in Russian, but I'm not so sure about the translation software!
Marie and I have been practising some Russian, but we have rather limited time in which to learn it. Although many Moldovans speak English, and of course Moldovan, we think it would be good to show that we are making an effort to communicate without assuming everyone will speak English. Even if our accents are terrible.
We have also been researching some more facts about Moldova, and in particular Chisinau. It's certainly not on the usual tourist routes, in fact there wasn't even a guide book for it. It makes the trip feel slightly daunting, but coming face to face with some of the realities of trafficking, in the places and with the people it directly effects is something I know I will value greatly.
