Bald and Bankrupt thought this City was a Dump - But now it's Beautiful!

Welcome to 'An Englishman's 24 Hours in Chisinau: A City Reborn,' with The Wondering Englishman. In today's video, we're embarking on a 24-hour journey through Chisinau, a city once depicted by Bald and Bankrupt as disordered and unpolished but now remarkably transformed. Witness how, within just a day, the city reveals its vibrant spirit and rich history, thanks to the diligent efforts of the Moldovan government and the city's mayor. From dawn to dusk, join me as we uncover Chisinau's revitalised streets, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems, showcasing its extraordinary evolution into a captivating urban destination.
