dezmondo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 So who has the lowdown on the best pubs or gathering points? I was there in 2004 but no idea where we ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padre Andrew Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I just remember there was no main square for us to congregate. People were scattered around the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Yep, 2004 everyone was scattered all over the place, but a English and Irish bar seemed to be the two main focal points, but everyone hung around the university area (at the end of the main drag that goes through the two large parks in the city centre) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a case of immigration, taxi, check in, dump gear, then wander out for a couple of nightcaps. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Air Moldova flight was put back 1 hour so that cuts into our time over in Chisnau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate who is there just now after arriving this morning, you will need a paper copy of your Vaccine Cert as you will get asked for it to get into places, but on the whole its fine and places are open.

Got a paper copy printed off. I was hoping that a picture of it would be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically killed my day in Chisanau the day before match day. That said our return flight has been pushed back so I’ll have most of Saturday to see the “sights”.

kumnio Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It seems a lot nice than last time, well apart from the pavements. Haven’t seen any other Scots yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeJohnny Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 That sounds great and reassuring as the memories on here from last time (which I wasn't at) sounded like Khasakstan which to me was dire pub wise. I love doing the old soviet states but a decent area for bars and places to go drinking pretty vital on my list !!!🤣 great to hear any more from the first arrivals. We arrive tomorrow night off Bucharest flight at 7pm ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It is very much like Astana, not many real pubs, and no area full of them. I’ve found a couple, and I mean two good pubs. But there’s no ‘area’ from what I’ve seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeJohnny Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Groan. That doesn't sound promising. One of the normal travel sites (maybe "like a local" or trip advisor) was saying streets off the main drag had a few boozers ? No joy ? Hopefully the few places to go are closer together than Astana where you had to take a taxi between pubs. Only the TA could arrive in a city called Astana and leave a few days later from Nur-Sultan but it being the same place. It wasnt easy to digest after three days on the bevy.
