Though our time in Moldova was brief, there were pictures that I couldn't help but share. After the way people talk about the dangers and poverty of Moldova, I was shocked at how developed it appeared. Perhaps my perception was reduced because we had spent so much time in developing countries, but I was pleasantly surprised by both the rural and urban appearance of Moldova. The food was the most incredible of the trip and I really enjoyed learning about composition of the Moldovan houses of the past. I also enjoyed getting to see parts of Chisinau and understand the influence of the French, Stephen cel Mare and the Russians. I would like to see how Moldova develops in the future, because to me, it seemed no different than Bucharest or parts of Cluj. The experience at the monastery was also extremely rewarding and something I will never forget. It was the perfect timing to be at such a site and I would certainly encourage UNESCO to include it on the list of World Heritage Sites.
