    Bro.. In this moment, you were breathing a bit heavier because of the stairs.
    You're talking to the camera while looking all around.
    You finally, yet reluctantly, place the jacket in a busy hall/walkway area, giving that final “until we meet again” firm caress.
    You proceed to speed walk away from the drop off location. 😆😂
    Looking back only increases the headache so I’m happy you stayed strong 😆
    Had that been me, I would’ve been tackled and interrogated 😅
    In all seriousness, thanks again for another great video! Keep safe and enjoy the break away from the cold.

      Moldova feels exactly 50/50 Pro-Russian (culture, language, etc) and Pro-EU but after Russia invaded Ukraine, very few of them actually want Russkiy Mir to come to them as they've seen what destruction comes along with it. The truth is, if anyone from Moldova actually wanted to live in Russia, they can just move there pretty easily.

All assets were left by Russia. For 33 years, they could not build anything. Ukraine was chosen by the Soviet Union as an industrial center, so they developed the most. After leaving Russia, there was nothing left in industry.
