Introduction
Hello there! Not only was the crazy random trip the ONLY trip I went on, but I also needed to visit my birth country, Moldova. This country holds a special place in my nostalgic imagination. I was born in Moldova and lived there for 8 years until my family and I moved to Spain. We had to do so because of my illness and the need for a new life, but my old life stayed there. All my friends stayed there, along with my memories and the good, fun times. When I moved to Spain, I was really depressed about everything. But time flew by, and I overcame every problem. Now, I speak Spanish perfectly, I'm studying what I want, and life is going well here.
I have lived in Spain for 10 years now, so I can apply for Spanish nationality. To do that, I needed to update my documentation, so I went back. I also notified all my friends there to meet up, so I had many plans besides my main reason for going.

We woke up at a good time with my father. Our flight to Bucharest, Romania, was at quarter past one. We were just chilling at the airport. When we got on the plane, I was separated from my father, so I was alone. I sat next to a guy who was a religious fanatic. He told me many things to think about life and all that philosophical stuff. But I’m not judging him—people pray for what they want, so I’m nobody to blame or judge. Hehehe.
In Bucharest, I finally saw snow. I hadn’t touched snow since 2014 when I was 8 years old. It felt really weird, but I liked it. I threw a snowball at my father to have some fun because we had to wait for our bus for about two hours.
For a huge amount of time, I just listened to music, and when the bus finally arrived, I fell asleep. I probably slept for 4-5 hours, so when I woke up, I was already on the border of Romania and Moldova. Nothing special happened, so when we arrived in Moldova, the roads were garbage—awful. I couldn’t sleep for that long, but then I just turned off and the next day began...

Good morning, everyone! I woke up at 5 o'clock because my dad woke me up saying, "Hey, we’ve already arrived, let's go home." We took a taxi to my place, and I noticed that the taxi driver was watching some stupid TikToks without skipping them (crazy, I heard the same TikTok like 5 times). When we arrived, I just went back to sleep because I was dying, bruh.
When I woke up, it was 8 o'clock, so we had to go again. We had an appointment at a place to recover my Moldovan passport. It was tough, but we got it done. After that, I came home and chilled all day without leaving because it was cold, all my friends were busy, and I really wanted to rest from everything. I just remember that I played some good League of Legends that day, hehe, because my friend was a cool guy who let me use his computer for personal stuff.

This day was better. We got my documents, and I was finally free. We also needed to take care of some other paperwork, but since it was Friday, my father told me to do whatever I wanted. We went to my grandma's house, and it was nice. We ate some Moldovan food, and I was already stuffed. Then I said I wanted to go outside, so I went out to see my friend.
Finally, after so many years, we reconnected. We had an amazing time together, going around the city (he’s from outside the city). At one point, we saw an old man with a tied rooster, which was a funny moment, but then we got stuck in traffic. Instead of going to the city center, we went to another place. There, we played some games, ate hot corn, and then went to a pizzeria called "Andy's Pizza," which had amazing pizza with a delicious recipe.
We also met a funny guy there, who was a street singer. He sang terribly, but it was super fun. After that, I went to the bus stop, caught a bus, and went home. That was everything for the day, so I think I told you all about it. Nothing special.

This day was Saturday. I met my friend Popug, whom I hadn't seen since 2021. We went to the park near the center, and most of the time, we just wandered in random directions. Then we got lost and ended up at KFC. The chicken was strange, not like in Spain. It tasted the same, but the experience of eating it was different. It felt like I was eating dry, cold food, but at the same time, it was my beloved KFC.
After that, we went to the center, where we just walked around, took some photos, and I think that was about it. We drank some tea and then took the bus back home.
It was a lovely day, and when I got home, I watched Jackass 3D with my cousin. It was an amazingly funny experience.
23/02/25
Nothing special this day. My cousin's mom just called to order some sushi and pizza. I can call this day "The Great Food Day," where my cousin and I ate everything without stopping. We ate it all, and then we spent the time watching youtube, playing some Isaac, and sleeping. Nothing special, plus it was really cold outside, so I didn’t want to go out.

Monday. On this day, my father and I picked up my new passport! Then we went to take care of some more paperwork. After that, we went to my grandma's house, where I ate some placinte and then messaged my friends to hang out.
It had been a long time since I’d seen them, so we went to the center to walk around. Then another friend of my friends showed up, so they became my friend too. We ended up going to an anime shop, where we looked at some things. But then my father called and said, “Hey, it’s time to go home, we’re having a family dinner.”
So then we went to a bus stop, where we also saw some things related to the war in Ukraine. After that, I went home, ate everything, and went to sleep.

Tuesday. Today was the day I got to see my best friend! I went to another sector again. Also, my father called me and told me to come to a pizzeria in that sector to meet my aunt, whom I had never seen before. When I got to the pizzeria, I had some milkshakes with banana and strawberry, and they were awesome. My aunt was nothing special, just a good woman with a big heart. As my dad explained it to me, he had been arguing with her until 2021, when my grandma passed away. We talked sweetly, and then I went to the street where my best friend lives.
We only had an hour to meet up because he was ill and his mother was being difficult. We talked about the past, the future, and the present. It was a funny experience because we joked around and shared some funny moments from our lives. Then, on the way home, I bought him an energy drink from the YouTuber Litvin, and I bought myself a chocolate bar called "Nuts." After that, I went to see another friend.
I didn’t have much time because I needed to go home to prepare for a trip to Durlesti, a village near Chisinau. I saw my friend, and then we went to another sector called "Ciocana." We just walked around, and then we went into Kaufland, a store there, where my friend bought some donuts. After that, we caught the bus and took some photos together. He got off at his stop, and I went home.
At home, my father and I took a taxi to Durlesti because he wanted to drink. When we arrived, the house was a typical villa there, very beautiful and futuristic. When I entered, I saw something that really surprised me. The house looked like a castle inside—so big and “golden.” I was shocked but I liked it. Then, my father told me to install a television for his friend. I did that, and then I went to watch it. A few minutes later, my father told me it was too late and that we had to go. We went home, and that’s where my day ended.
26/02/25
This was my second-to-last day there. I met up with my friends again to make a gift for a friend who couldn’t attend our meetups. We bought all sorts of random stuff we found. We got things like: an eraser with cat ears, K-pop stickers (she hates K-pop), hentai stickers, toilet paper, and more stuff like that.
We also found some leaves and used them as confetti to add to the gift. Like I said before, it was fun to decorate the gift with all these random things. Eventually, she will get it, and I’m sure she’ll love it, but that’s for the future, hehe.
Then, we went to another sector because we were bored in the center. We went to some parks and then bought some corn. There was a funny situation where some gypsies were asking for money. I said I didn’t have any, but I was lying. After we bought the corn, they saw me again, and I just said, "Bruh, I don’t give a fuck, lol." They heard me but didn’t do anything.
Then I went home, where I played LoL again. And that’s the end of the day.

Last day. Nothing special. We just packed our stuff, collected the last of the documents, and then went to my grandma's house to eat a bit.
When everything was done, we went to a bus station. There, I drank "Kvas" and ate some Fornetti, delicious junk food from Moldova and Romania.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this trip. I saw many people I hadn’t seen in a long time, and I truly enjoyed the experience.
