Expat Advice: Living in Chisinau, Moldova
What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?
Chisinau
How long have you lived there?
All my life:)
What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?
The most famous attractions are Wine cellars, clubs. I recommend visiting in period May-October, to fond an extremely lovely green city such as Chisinau. The prices for food are from very low (local production) to average (for some imported goods), for services are quite low.
In terms of religious, racial, economic and cultural diversity, are the people of this city or town diverse? Are they accepting of differences? Describe.
Foreigners (men) are very well tolerated by the feminine population and quite bad tolerated by men. They see this more as a competition: who is better? If you are just a normal guy (as a foreigner), who does not involve in conflicts, this means that you will be fine. Gays are not tolerated. Blacks are tolerated, but you will see just 0.000001% from the population
What are the main industries in this city? What types of career opportunities commonly exist? How do most people find new jobs?
Opening your own company or buying a Moldovan one may be an idea, otherwise the salaries are very low to survive for a foreigner.
If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.
1.Profit on eating healthy and organic Moldovan food!
2. Be kind in clubs and bars, but do not exagerate-people will try to profit on you
3. Moldovan Women are the best in the world in matter of everything: smart, good wifes, good at work, good at cooking....
4. Try to avoid discussions with drunk local people- they may kick your ass!
Moving to Moldova soon?
