A visit to the University

My translator was able to negotiate a visit to her university this afternoon. You can see their website at http://www.ase.md/cartea/en/

Much of the campus is deteriorating and the buildings need a lot of repair, but Stella tells me this is one of the best in the city. The professors and staff were very gracious. I was able to speak to the director of the libray who was thrilled that ECU had arrived. It seems we have some sort of a partnership with the library at this institution and even though I'm not connected they were pleased to see me. I learned a lot about the economic downfall at the end of Soviet Union. This was catastrophic for Moldova. The problems are extremely severe.


More later.
