What I can say is, it is very beautiful, there is everything one needs to live and work remotely atleast, the one downside is that it is hot and humid as hell, would take some getting used to; very sweaty place in the summer

    Мне было 15 лет, когда я болела ветряной оспой. Ужасный опыт. За день до того, как мы с семьёй поняли, чем я больна, мама купила себе новый крем для лица, который я тоже решила опробовать. Намазалась, радостная, но буквально через пару минут моей лицо стало по цвету напоминать помидор. Папа запаниковал, дал мне какую-то свою мазь и сказал, чтобы я больше не мазала крем сразу на всё лицо. На следующий день у было недомогание, над бровью появилось подозрительное красное пятнышко, от него у меня кстати потом остался рубец, эх. Вот тут мы и поняли, что со мной не так. На следующее утро у меня было всё лицо в таких же красных пятнышках, кожа головы, грудь, руки. У пятнышко над бровью превратилось в пузырик, наполненный жидкостью. Моментально меня охватил ужас, но папа сказал, что ничего страшного, ветрянка - это хорошо. Хорошо, да, но до того как все эти пузырики начали зудеть. Единственное решение - терпеть. Зуд был невозможно сильным. Я не могла спать в постели, потому что тогда было слишком много контакта постельного белья с моей кожей, было очень тепло. Я постелила на прохладный пол покрывало и спала на нём. Твёрдо, да, но за то прохладно. Пила супрастин - не помогла. Во-об-ще. Ничего не поменялось. Я страдала эту неделю, у меня даже осталось видео, где я истерю из-за чесотки. Хорошо, что я не сошла с ума в тот момент. На день 5 или 6 я совершила огромную ошибку. Полезла в душ. Там было хорошо, стою под приятной прохладненькой водой, которая путём стекания как-бы нежно «чешет» мою кожу. Я там была минут 15, а как вылезла, вся кожа стянулась из-за сухости. Зуд стал ещё сильнее. Ещё хуже. Мой совет: никогда не идите в душ во время ветрянки. Я предполагаю, что народ смотрит это во время вашей болезни, пожалуйста, присмотритесь к моему комментарию. Я сама лезла за всевозможными ответами в интернет. Ночью судорожно просыпалась, пыталась найти как бороться с зудом. Терпеть. Зуб можно смягчить, но он останется всё равно. Поэтому терпеть. Тем, кто пережил ветрянку в осознанном возрасте нужно давать медаль и грамоту за усидчивость. На 6-7 день я изобрела свой способ почесывания кожи. Нужно её либо похлопывать, либо шлёпать так сильно, как только можно. На утро родители всегда меня спрашивали почему в доме ночью слышались такие отчетливые хлопки. Ребята, всем желаю удачи, скорейшего выздоровления. Нужно переждать. А пока, вы можете отдохнуть от работы и учебы, концетрируя свои силы на том, чтобы сдерживать желание содрать все эти пузырики к чертям собачим.

      Loads of rest, avoid scratching best you can, drink plenty of water, avoid eating most foods as you won't be able to keep it down. Get somebody to get you some ibeprofen and Calamine Lotion, I'm on day 3 or 4. It'll get a little worse before it gets better, but if you can manage to sleep a lot of it off you'll be fine, we got this 😉

    Hello Elena. I just found your channel. Very interesting subjects! I have a question about Moldova, though: my understanding is that the regular foreigner looking to live in Moldova is that they are only allowed to buy apartments, and they are NOT allowed to buy a regular house in the countryside or any farmland? So is it true that every foreigner is regulated to buy property in the larger cities? Or can they buy houses and land in the country?
