The name of the country is Moldova. Happens to be the poorest country in Europe. Was when I was born. Still is.
I was born in Bãlþi (it's on the map). Don't remember much. All I know is that my family lived in the same region for 4 generations (including my own). My great grandparents apparently owned a vineyard but not really. Probably lost it due to us being Jewish or peasants or probably a combination of both.
So yeah. Guess this is a 'Where EXACTLY were you born' thread. Be as specific as you want - divulge some interesting details about the location, too.

Moldovan, actually! I did live in Kiev for some time in my early childhood, though.

Just directly quoting the person. Then again, I also believe it's the truth. But that's a story for the PDD.
On a whole other note: Why don't I have the option of using the Moldova flag for my Country flag profile thingy, Swamper?

A place that has changed nationality flags in less than a decade ...
I lived there for two years before moving here:
The capital of a country with the most inhabitants of one particular major religion. And in the same approximate geographic region as the city of my birth.
