Here are some sights from the town I have been living in and will continue to train in for one more month. That's Stauceni ("stau-chen"). It has a pretty impressive soccer field that's kept groomed and watered for regional teams. You can see the score board above and a great view from the soccer field on the south end of town. That's Chisinau ("key-sha-now") in the distance. The nation's capital. Stauceni has a seciton of town that are the cinder block apartments from the Soviet era. It also has a very stylish modern apartment building. Most of the town is just rows and rows of the traditional homes that are often under some reconstruction or improvement. Summer time is home improvement time in Moldova. Garbage pick up is twice a week and provided by the blue tractor and wagon above. The next picture shows a little brick house in the center. That's a "fontana" or well. You can find these sprinkled throughout the community. People still come here and take water by the bucket full to their houses, although most of Stauceni has running water in the house. And lastly we have the shining domes of the local Orthodox briserica ("bree-sara-ca") or church. Thanks for taking a walk around my town.
