Day 1 in Moldova
... memorial. At the beginning of the 20th century one of the largest pogroms took place in Chișinău. While I failed to find the cemetery, I did find the memorial. It was in a lovely (shady) park that was quite nice to walk in. It took longer than I had expected to find the memorial, and so I decided to head back to the city center to have lunch. I went to a pizzeria, which was very nice to sit in as it had ...
A 21st Century Schizoid
... to Europe 16 years ago which was a great experience but also one where most of the best things to do were way out of my price range so I was doing a lot more window shopping than buying.

I was told that I entered Transnistria illegaly and that I have to go back - after paying a fine, UNLESS I pay a littler higher fine / transit fee. So I had to pay ...
Shaken down for $3.30
... Thinking me a Jewish tourist at first, he nevertheless stuck a hat on my head (like a kippah, but flat and round - not actually a skullcap) and took me in to meet the others inside. Though most were Russian-speaking, a few of the local men inside spoke passable English, which made it easier for me to communicate (my Russian thus far failing me). The man that invited me in decided he'd have a go with my camera while the others asked me where I was from, walking up ...
