Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you have any other comments?
I will miss Moldovan-made mango mochi ice cream, Dese chocolates, almond chocolate croissants, Iarba Noastra bread, amazing cheeses, kvass, catina tea, sarmale, placinta, and good gelato. The city has huge parks ideal for long strolls with a cappuccino from a coffee stand. Families all go out for post dinner strolls and the city is small enough that you often run into people you know. - Sep 2023
This is a pleasant, small Eastern European country; a bit of a backwater, but there's really nothing to dislike. - Apr 2019
I'll say it again, Moldova will surprise you. Given the availability of most Western items, the low cost of domestic help and services, the beautiful spring and summer, the warmth of the people, the relative safety of the city, and just the generally pleasant "vibe," Chisinau is probably the easiest "hardship" tour you'll ever have. Those who cry upon arriving will also cry upon leaving. - Aug 2011
The food in Moldova is terrible, as is the food at the embassy. There are very few reasonably priced international restaurants with decent food. I highly suggest people be prepared to learn how to cook prior to coming here - Mar 2010
