We used to have trolley buses - in Moldova the Maxi-Taxi (white van with seats) is faster and a bit more comfortable
Tea at "Andy's Pizza" - the one close to my hotel (in the building that looks like an ocean liner) also serves rather nice Moldovan food
I had a tasty soup and
a rather nice earthenware pot full of roast pork with 'other things'.
and they even signpost where you can get a...
... Balti!
Moldovan is not that difficult to read
(is really tricky to parse when heard)
Gate guardian at the airport - lovely!
Oops! - something happened to the pound sterling while I was away...
Chisinau has more foreign exchange shops per street-kilometre than any other place I have been - about one every 30 metres on the way from the station to the town centre.
Chisinau, like Birmingham has a rotunda...
Was meant to be a luxury hotel - but something went wrong with the design and is now let to migrant construction workers
Here is the Birmingham one for comparison:
an unfortunate poster of a Turkish airliner apparently grounded in a
Dutch bulbfield...
unfortunate in the light of...
being a recent photo of a Turkish airliner really grounded
in a Dutch bulbfield.
