It has been a while since I last updated this webpage. Some big changes occurred in my life, I became wife to Kris (read some about our wedding and how to marry a Moldovan girl) and mother to a beautiful baby girl Lisa Kristina. I am currently in Manchester with my husband and the little newborn and all support in Moldova is provided by my friends and colleagues. We are back to Moldova by the middle of spring 2007. In the meantime, please, book your accommodation in Chisinau and other services in advance, as I will need 1-2 days to arrange it with my colleagues in Moldova.
