I’m finally going back to Moldova to visit this weekend. I have tried several times over the past 10 months to go back, and something has always come up to interfere with my plans. My host mom Anya and host brother Sasha even got so tired of waiting for me, they came to Kyiv themselves in June! And Petya, my good friend and walking buddy, has visited me twice. At long last, the time has come for me to return to Moldova!
Getting my visa reminded me of what I’m in for – amusing hassles, absurd bureaucracy, and a need for endless amounts of patience. I’m looking forward to a few quite days in Tvarditsa, away from the hussle and bussle of Kyiv. Good food, good wine, and great friends.
