A very interesting video to say the least, from our perspective. To think this is Europe. Mostly eastern europe and former Soviet Union but still.

it is a skewed image of Moldavia. the urban planning in eastern europe was shoddy. let us say they had a poor sense of aesthetics.
i am sure the countryside is a lot better. i do not know how the people are

The countryside is just like what you will find in Pakistan or India... but it's green because that's the environment there, and houses are made of wood and not of bricks or mud.

You would be surprised how much the situations for South Asia and Eastern European former Soviet Union states is similar. Just different people and different culture altogether. But economy, corruption, incompetence, lack of state writ, the overall structure is similar.

You should follow his videos, he has many, very entertaining guy too. It is very nice to see vlogs which are not crazy edited; won't find content like this elsewhere online at all.

Back when the Soviet Union collapsed, Russians used to come on long trips to Pakistan to make extra money due to economic recession after Soviet collapse. They would lay down shops next to, I believe, the passport office in Karachi and sell all kinds of stuff; true story. The taxi drivers even managed to learn Russian. And my family also once bought a Russian vacuum - it lasted long : )

It's really amazing how things have changed. They went from the gutter to quite good. We went from quite good to the gutter. All in 20 years.

Greenery makes a world of difference. temperate greenery is great to be more precise - no poisonous snakes, no tropical pests

if built properly wooden houses are great. i live in one

communism screwed people's sense of individuality and collective abilities

The elders in half the Soviet states their more the less seem to miss the USSR.

Yes, you will have to learn Russian to get by there. But it all depends on devotion. With just about right devotion, immersion and interest, I am sure one can learn Russian. It may be easier for the Latin, Arabs and Urdu speaking however.

Its beats learning Mandarin thats like og hard Russian is hard language too but it is a Indo European Language so words could overlap but the grammar and cryllic alphabet may put people off

Believe it or not. You can learn Cyrillic and master it within a day, just if you give it at least 10 hours.

The grammar is indeed hard. I am learning German and Russian right now. For us Pakistanis, Indians, Arabs; you would be surprised, it is hard but not as hard as it is for Western and English people. Some of the sounds they make are similar to our alphabets, some seem like ditto copies, otherwise if your good on Arabic or Urdu, there's nothing you cannot pronounce (except the rolling rrrr in Russian). The beginner grammar also is similar somewhat to Urdu, so it's easy to make sense of it/compare it to make sense of it.

Mr Bald is an excellent vlogger, I love his material. I recommend to everyone. He's funny in a very British way and always looking off the beaten track.

Correct You know I been somewhat learning Serbo-Croatian on my free time thanks to my love of Yugoslav war music of the 90s I was able to pick up some words and sentences on my own like Dushman in Urdu means enemy same in Serbian and Russian I am guessing pretty cool stuff but the thing is Serbo-Croatian like Polish is written in Latin tho Serbia also uses cryllic too

I think Gagauzia looks a little bit different due to the assistance of Turkey.
