While living in Moldova as a Peace Corps volunteer for two years it was a delight to me to view people's cellars. Each one is different and shows the personality and needs of the household. Preparing for winter by filling the cellar is ingrained in all families. Even many in the city have their canned jars and root storage somewhere in the apartment and patio. Resilience taught through hard times.
When we lived in Moldova (and on visits since then) we have had tastes of the hospitality and resourcefulness of Moldovans in rural areas...but this report and video is still a big eye-opener and an encouragement!

So true!

Thank you for your comment, Gary! It was a surprise to us, too. We didn't expect such resourcefulness when we started knocking on people's doors.
