...Whereby Karla goes to Moldova

I am fullfilling a year-long dream. I am in Chisinau.

I am doing my O-Zone pilgrimage. Melissa, Jason (an American we picked up along the way) and I are staying in a Moldovan apartment. I knew we were in the right place when:
a) the owner has an O-Zone CD
b) the CD is autographed

Tomorrow we are off to Transniestr, the country that doesn't exist.

Interesting quote for the week:

Karla: Balkan people are smarter than North American people
Melissa: Why do you say that?
Karla: They just are

...Later, while climbing on an ancient citadel...

Melissa: I love how in the Balkans, you can climb over everything and there are no guard rails to protect you
Karla: That's why Balkan people are smarter...all the stupid ones have darwinised themselves
