The Republic of Moldova (Republica Moldova) is a small landlocked country in eastern Europe, located between Romania to the west and Ukraine to the east and south. Historically part of the Principality of Moldavia, it was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1812 and reunited with other Romanian lands in Romania in 1918. After changing hands during World War II and being annexed by the Soviet Union, it was known as the Moldavian SSR between 1945 and 1991, and finally declared its independence on 27 August 1991.

Moldova is a parliamentary democracy with a President as its head of state and a Prime Minister as its head of government. The country is a member state of the United Nations, WMO, UNICEF, GUAM, CIS, BSEC and other international organizations...more

Starting from the bottom where wine first makes you happy, and then to the last one on the top to the left where wine makes you crawl. Milestii Mici

Again our silent hills of Moldova. This photo i have made during my trip to the village Cenusa. In the picture you can see the river Raut. This river is the main source of water for many peasants. The shadow in this picture is the Horse that was sitting under a tree and watching the river.

Near the Monastery Capriana from the village with the same name, there are woods named "Codrii Moldovei". These woods in winter are like heaven. It was a wonderful trip.

from Danielzolli

For my master's thesis, I had to do some research in Moldova's National Library in Chişinău. As expected, the procedure was a bit bureaucratic.
First I had to fill out a form to get a entrance permit card. The woman who had to write down the content of this form in the computer was apparently an analphabet, I had to tell her again every detail of the form. Then I got the permit for 10 Moldovan Lei.
At the entrance to the library itself, I had to show the permit at the entrance desk and got also a "user talon". To get the books I looked for, I first had to find their register cards in the endless rows of catalogues (as in the picture). Then I had to copy the content of the register cards (not only the signature, but also the "inventar number") on another talon which I then could deliver at one of the many desks, together with my entrance permit.
After 20 minutes, i could pick up the books at another desk, my permit was checked again and the book's code was written down on my user talon. When I brought it back, I got a stamp on my user talon and was now free to leave the library (not without having the delivered my user talon at the entrance desk, naturally).
