Who's up for a holiday in Moldova? Even better, lets go to Transdnistria and hang out in the world's biggest gangster 'state'. Did you know a large percentage of Eastern Moldovan girls have gone missing and been sold into human trafficking rackets? I did a major research project on Moldova for my International Relations major last year, and it's a very interesting and neglected topic, that not enough people know about - but should. Guess which country refuses to remove their troops from Moldovan territory, defying international conventions, and as a result encourages the brutal rule of crime lords in Transdnistria? Moldova can be a successful country, not to mention it produces the finest wines in Europe (other than France!), and this country needs to be given the chance to stand on its feet.
