Seeing as how it's been weeks since I last updated this thing and there are far too many stories to tell, I'll just list off some of the things that have happened since the last update.
During my time in Moldova I have been stared at, laughed at, yelled at, robbed, been hassled by police, customs officers, and border patrol, been asked for bribes, been to a Moldovan hospitial, been pulled over while riding in a cab, and so many other things that would be laughable back home.
On the flip side, however, I have met people who's experiences and stories have challenged the way I think about every facet of life, had the opportunity to travel to places people back home have never heard of, gained a true appreciation of just how good people in the "West" have it, made friends which will last a lifetime, and if I were to continue the list I would fill pages.
There have been bad times and there have been good times, but that is life. Adjusting to a culture so radically different from your own while completely on your own is no easy task, and it's not supposed to be and easy task. I learn more about myself and this place with each passing day, and that was really the reason I came to Moldova.
When it comes down to it, as Mr. Hicks once said, we can change this ride anytime we want. If given the chance to start over and change the ride I've had since arriving here in January would I? There is no fucking way.
I promise a more standard issue post next time, until then moi droogs, da svidanya.
