Hello,
First, my apologies for not being able to communicate to you in either Romanian or Russian. I hope my English text doesn't pose a problem.
My name is Micheal and I live in Holland (Amsterdam). This summer I plan to visit Moldova for the first time. It is a country that I find very interesting. As far as I know it's the only country in Europe that still has a communist government. My goal is to work on a volunteer project somewhere in Moldova. I did something similar in Serbia in 2006 and I really enjoyed that.
I would really like it if people here could give me some information about the country. Is it true that people can both speak Romanian and Russian? What about English, can most (young) people speak it a bit? Is it possible to pay in dollars or in Euros? Are people in Moldova pro-Western or more pro-Russian? Another point is that I'm still trying to find a place to live during my time there. I like to find a Moldovan (or Romanian) website where they have advertisements for houses that you can rent.
It would be much appreciated by me if someone could answer a few of my above questions.
Greetings,
Micheal
PS I think my post belongs here because it is about Moldova society and I couldn't find a travel sub-forum. Plus, to be honest, I thought more people would see it here.
