| Indeed, I'll need a lot more for that and a visa. Also, somewhere to stay.
Actually, I was surprised. I expected it to be more like $2500. | |

| Come one, come all!! The winter championships of Maldova are almost here! Bring various sporting equipment and people of all ages and sexes, cause we don't know what kind of sports event it will be! Don't forget, you can fly there from many airports!

| FYI. It is a former Soviet block country that needs as much support from the west as possible.
"One of the poorest nations in Europe. The economy depends heavily on agriculture. Moldova must import all of its supplies of oil, coal, and natural gas, largely from Russia. In 1998 the economic troubles of Russia, by far Moldova's leading trade partner, were a major cause of the 8.6% drop in GDP. GDP declined slightly in 2000, with a serious drought hurting agriculture. In 2000 the estimated GDP per capita was US$2,500. The estimated inflation rate is 32%."

Whadd'ya know... Edit: Aaah, so here's why. Apparantly this is the cover version of that song, but this one sold better in Sweden than the original.

Moldova was part of Romania before 1940 and and estimated three-fourths of the population of 3.9 million are ethnic Romanian.
Romania grants citizenship to Moldovans if their parents or grandparents were Romanian citizens before the two countries split. A residence requirement of four years was added to the law in 2003." | |
