Moldova it is a very beautiful green country. Despite high corruption people are still friendly and
simple, however if they suffering financially they will go stealing or something like this.
A little about Balauresti and Nemteni villages.
Villagers prefer to grow they're own produce, on the yards around the house or on they're land around the village.
Some villagers are quitting the work on the land, the health and lack of modern technologies are forcing them to do so.
