Getting Around Moldova is an Adventure

Tom is driving in a world where there are almost no rules of the road. Drivers go down city roads with no lines meant for 2 lanes but they use it like there were 3.
The signs are interesting too-one was a sign posted on the womens bathroom door at the mall for "no pinching women allowed". The roads outside of the city are in such terrible decay that many parts are barely passable and you have to literally drive on the sides of the road. There are sheep or cows or goats or horses grazing along the roads and occassionally a roadside stand selling various items. One day we startled a herd (or is it a pack?) of wild pigs. The largest one as big as a small cow and he sure could waddle fast. Tom has done incredibly well. He hasn't hit any animals or people and has figured out how to dodge all the other drivers and park on the sidewalks like Moldovans do. Some of our wheelchair recipients get around town in their chairs and one fellow even put a flashlight on the front and reflectors on the back so he could go out at night! The public transportation in the city is by electric trolleybus, bus, but mostly by "maxi taxi". They are 15 seater vans about 15 years old that carry about 40 people - with NO air conditioning. The cost is .25 USD and they run by about every 5 minutes so it is used alot.
