    That was a really interesting interview, and with such a lovely man too. Please bring us more interviews like this ! I was fascinated to hear him say that so many people in Moldova speak English, as I had thought that would not be the case. Great work Djulieta.

    This is so fascinating! Could you do a series of these videos touring local businesses and interviewing people? I lived in Chisinau for a summer and fell in love with a placinte shop near the Opera. I wish I’d taken pictures of the women making the pasty because it’s lived only in my head for years. I’d love to see it again and show everyone I’ve told about it.

    I live in Germany but if someone told me that I could move to Moldova I would definitely do it! I just find Moldova so interesting and beautiful. And yes, I know that life in Moldova is not always easy, but I love challenges and would have the experience without hesitation! And even if some cannot understand it, I like Moldova very much and it is an under-represented country which, with more attention in the world, could solve its problems more easily than at present🇲🇩.
    PS: Thank you for this video 👌

    Thanks for the info especially through this interview with a Greek-American. It's really great to know the info from someone who is able to go through all the process of how to establish a corporation in Moldova. I'm not very interested with staying as a permanent resident. What I am thinking is how to import wines from Moldova and sell it to other countries like in Southeast Asia. Glad to know that there is a one-stop-process in a building where, according to Bilkas, processing your application for a corporation is done in just three days. But can you start a business in Moldova without a Moldovan partner? Like owning a business 100 percent owned by a foreigner.

    Djulieta,
    I ask a question at the end, please consider answering it.
    I'm American, an older man close in age to Basil Nikas, and have decided to move to Moldova full time to open a business. I lived and worked in foreign countries (Vietnam and Thailand) and found it very difficult to learn the local language because everyone wanted to learn English so I never got to practice when outside of the classroom.
    Because I believe learning the language and culture are critical for success I am dedicated to learning both before starting a business or buying property.
    Therefore, I want to find a family in a village (not in Chisinau) where I can live in the home and learn the language through daily conversation.
    Essentially I would like to find a situation similar to what high school exchange students do where they live with a host family.
    Here's the question.
    Is helping me locate a family to live with a service you, or someone you know, can help me with?
    Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
    Jason
