It was the most humbling experience I've ever had. No possible way of getting support from your Embassy since the "country" doesn't officially exist, they took our passports and separated us for about 45 minutes.<BR/><BR/>We made it out alive though and ended up traveling to Tiraspol, which is a story of its own. <BR/><BR/>I would advise anyone seeking adventure in Transnistria to be very cautious and exercise good judgment. The guards will intimidate you and show no mercy, they don't joke around and you will have to pay if they stop you.<BR/><BR/>Bon voyage.Jerad Tietzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100118312146194701noreply@blogger.com
