Fascinating article. This strikes me as a trip I would have enjoyed!
I went myself to Iași in 2024 to use as a base for exploring the monasteries in Bucovina. The houses in the villages in the countryside there were more frequently falling apart than described in this article but one thing is constant in Romania; the churches are always pristine. Something to do with the state funding for the Romanian Orthodox Church I would guess. I wonder if it’s the same in Moldova/Transnistria?
I tried to persuade my companions later that week to hire a car to drive to Moldova but found little interest sadly. Looks like it’s a really interesting trip.

A superb travelogue.
Thanks for saving me the trip ;-)

Am entertaining read, nice work.
Very enjoyable read
All that way for an undoubtedly sterile & sexless escapade.
