As you will recall from my recent "Caroling" entry, we Christmas revelers raised about 1500 lei ($120) by going door-to-door and spreading Moldovan Christmas cheer - or just bothering people until they gave us money to go away.
In the following days we were debating what to do with this money, and ultimately settled on saving it for March 8th, Women's Day, so we could buy some nice presents for all the women in the office. That plan, however, was soon modified to include a little something for us men - namely, a night out at a sauna.
So, Friday night we bought all the necessary foodstuffs, piled into a van, and drove two villages over to some spa. We ate and drank (well, they drank), sang songs, played ping pong, and alternated between an extremely hot sauna and a freezing pool. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday night. My only two regrets were being unable to best Oleg in ping-pong and the fact that I went to sleep at 5am. Why do all the Moldovan social events have to go all night long? Can't we just a little earlier and end at a decent hour?

Being in a sauna will really open up your pores. This will make it easier for you to shave your beard off. When you are in Chisinau next week, waiting to come home, you should treat yourself once again and this time bring a razor :)
