Moldova; New group arrives

June 11, marked our group's one year in Moldova and it was also the date that the newest group of volunteers landed in Chisinau. We spent the weekend helping the new group out with adjustment and getting used to our glorious city, in between their mind-numbing seminars and language classes. More »

School is out for summer, Alice.

Moldova has stepped into June, like a poodle walking through a pool of burning tar and it has left me and my fellow ex-patriots sweaty, to say the least. More »

Life in Moldova

Last Saturday was the day of victory in Europe, and my town celebrated by gathering in the center and listening to speeches being made at the local war memorial. As tradition would have, later that day, families and friends gathered in various spots in the forest to drink house wine and eat food. More »

Moldova and spring

The pernicious weather Gods have decided that instead of giving me and Moldova a steady ray of sunshine, they were going to clot up the sky with rain and clouds. Luckily, it is warmer out as of late, making the foul weather bearable. More »

Feb 19. In Moldova

The past week has shown me that it is possible to improve; that is, if you are the Moldovan weather system. The ground has been drying up and I even saw the sun a few times. Unfortunately, I woke to rain, turing my roads back into soup. More »

Moldova, where students love to cheat

I have discovered that students love to cheat. I cannot say, with much certainty, how I acted while in high school but it seems to me I had some fear in my heart about the consequences of coming by answers illegally. In classes here, test day could just as easily be phrased as 'free-for-all' day. I actually stood over one of my male students, staring him in the eyes, while he was talking to his neighboring scholar. It was frustrating. More »

Report from Moldova: Turkey, the whole shebang

It  was a crisp January morning when I awoke and, if not sunny as well, there was light diffusing through the thin cloud cover. Today is Christmas morning, if you are Greek Orthodox, and therefore today is not Christmas for me, but I think I'll do what I can to get in the holiday spirit (I'm wearing a red hat...) More »

Report from Moldova; Istanbul

Today is our second to last day in Turkey and we are attempting to use these last couple days to squeeze every site in that we can - today we saw the Blue Mosque, and the Palace. We had planned on seeing the Hague Sophia, but Patrick and I lost Mike in the Blue and went back to the hostel to find him. As luck would have it, Mike went into the Sophia, took in all the majesty and consummate arches (there are a lot of arches) and went back to the hostel. This leaves Pat and I in a bind, but Im sure well figure something out. More »

Report from Moldova; Istanbul

Today is our first day in Istanbul, but it began by de-boarding a 12-hour bus from Cappadocia at 8 this morning. Needless to say, I slept like hell on the bus and ended up napping for three hours at our hostel. More »

Report from Moldova; Cappadocia

We are sitting in the living room of a strange hostel in Cappadocia, Turkey. After having decided to change our plans and see the volcanic ruins\stone dwellings, we boarded an overnight bus which deposited us at our destination at 8:00 am. We took a tour of the surrounding sites and took a hike down near a cathedral carved out of stone. This was followed by lunch and a ride home. The whole tour took about 8 hours and, because we were severly lacking sleep on the bus ride, we calculated that we were asleep for about 4 hours of the tour (while sitting on the bus). More »

IT'S STILL WINTER IN MOLDOVA

Today is December 15 th and there was a light snow last night. The ground was dusted with powder and it was pretty to look at this morning. As the day wore on, some melted and the roads muddied a bit, but they managed to stay much more firm than they had been. More »
