Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?
It’s easy to make friends, but if you aren’t white you will stand out. People tend to stare and you are left wondering why. Once you get to know people they are welcoming to all backgrounds. - Sep 2023
Yes, very easy to meet / talk to / make friends with locals. No particular prejudices except against Roma, although you may occasionally hear some startling remarks about other nations and ethnic groups. Moldovans are not very used to people who are visibly foreign, so nonwhites may get some stares, especially outside Chisinau. - Apr 2019
