Why is he called Lenin? Is he always having the hat in his hand or on his head? Is he always reading lots and lots of books? Is he telling the other cats: "Come to this country, and we start revolution?"
-One of the guys I met at Clipa asking me why the cat down in Macon is named Lenin. (Just thought I'd share that with you, I thought it was pretty funny.)
Anyway, I've begun playing a few games ever since I started venturing out into the city on my own and I thought I'd share a few of the rules for them. Some are pretty fun and pretty funny, others, not so much.
Laugh at the Bumbling American: Now this one is by far the one I play the most when I'm down in the centru. In order to play this game you need: One American who speaks a few words of the native language. One or more Moldovans who speak a few words of English. And, last but not least, any sort of situation where communication is necessary between the two. Once you have the required equipment, it's actually quite easy to play, and, best of all, you can play practically anywhere! Check it out, it works best at restaurants and grocery stores.
Wait for the bus: Now this one is not my favorite game to play, but unfortunately it's one I play quite a lot. In order to play this game you will need: Freezing cold weather and a bus stop with a schedule that is completely wrong. Once you've got that, it's pretty self explanatory. You get bonus points if its after 9:00pm and the temperature drops below -5 degrees C.
I'll keep posting up new and fun games as my time here goes on.
Seriously though, I am having a great time here. Things are starting to settle down and my routine is getting smoother and smoother. I'm getting my bearings on the city and moving around is becoming a lot easier.
Not much to report on over here other than that. Enjoy the games and try them out when you get a chance.

Love the games! If you get bored, though, you can try other fun ones like trying to buy something that you can easily identify but the seller refuses to sell to you because you are "strange"/foreign. And then there is the fun game of going through the checkout at the grocery...the one where you try to have exact change at the exact moment your purchases are totaled
Glad you made it to Clipa.
Sounds like fun! I can pretend to play with Aldina. She can speak Bosnian to me at the bus stop...
