The Republic of Moldova is a small country located between Romania and Ukraine. Little known in Europe, it blends the charms of unspoiled nature with unique history and even more intriguing present. **Often referred as a hidden gem of Europe**, proves its unique character on every corner. Hundreds of kilometers of cellars filled to the ceiling with millions of wine bottles, cave monasteries, Transnistria – the soviet era stronghold are just a few curiosities awaiting travelers here. A short distance outside Chisinau is two of the countries most unique gems. **Milestii Mici** is a vineyard with the **world’s largest underground wine cellar**, with literally millions of bottles and more like an underground city with **endless kilometers of tunnels best explored on a bike!** And the **ancient city of Orheiul Vechi between the narrow bend of the Raut River** with eroded limestone rocks and the archaeological vestiges of the Trypillian civilization. You’ll find **cultural layers of different epochs** from the Paleolithic, Eneolithic, and Iron Age. Inhabited since ancient times to this day, Orthodox monks still guard the churches and grottos of this natural fortress. **Transnistria,** officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, is a breakaway state, unrecognized internationally part of Moldova, **under military occupation by Russia**. It’s territory is a narrow strip of land between the Dniester River and the Moldovan-Ukrainian border. To enter Transnistria is to **take a time-machine back to Soviet era**, you’ll think you were still in a cold-war geopolitical no-man’s land, with **strange flags, statues of Lenin, vodka for a dollar, and more hammers and sickles than you’ll see anywhere else!** **Let’s go!!** **DAY 1 // Chisinau** Early afternoon direct flight to Chisinau. Immigration clearance, dinner and first taste of Moldovan cuisine. Check in to hotel for overnight. **Day 2 // Orheiul Vechi + Milestii Mici** After breakfast we’ll head to Orheiul Vechi and discover the countryside. We’ll explore the ancient monasteries and cave complexes filled with grottos, churches, and hermitages in this open-air museum. Within a small area, you can see here many typical elements of this country: traditional rural culture, picturesque churches, meandering river, white cliffs, and lush green steppes. In the afternoon, we’ll hit the road to Milestii Mici for an **underground bike ride** through the world’s largest wine cellar! With a few tastings along the way, we’ll head back to hotel for a well-deserved rest and dinner, perhaps a quick look at local nightlife. **Day 3 // Transnistria** After early breakfast of brânzoaice and strong coffee, we start our journey to Transnistria, the self-proclaimed independent republic with its own currency, border guards, and government. First stop will be the 16th century Tighina Fortress on our way to Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria, founded by the Russian general Alexandr Suvorov in 1792. We’ll pass by his statue in the square as we walk around the city, with stops at monuments, theatres, parliament houses and all manner of curiosities. Return to Chisinau for overnight. **Day 4 // Departure** In the morning we’ll stretch our legs on a walk through the greenest capital in Europe! Pass by Cathedral Park and Bell Tower, Victory Arc, neoclassical monuments and quaint bookstores. After lunch free time at leisure before transfer to airport. Bye Bye Moldova! **Grade**: easy, available to everyone. **Activities:** sightseeing, leisure cycling, immersion in Soviet era (Transnistria). **Accommodation & meals:** 4 star hotel, double sharing rooms, meals excluded. **Cost: 2420 AED excl. flights until June 8th.** **Specifically excluded:** flights, visa (Schengen grants entry), insurance, meals except breakfasts. **Visa:** In addition to Schengen visa, some passports require additional permit (or simplified visa) to enter Moldova, [details here.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Moldova) *It is participant sole responsibility to assure admission to country of destination.* See yah in Moldova x Trekkup Crew [Whatsapp 050 4848238](https://wa.me/971504848238) / [info@trekkup.com](http://info@trekkup.com/) [Find all trekkups at linktr.ee/trekkup](https://linktr.ee/trekkup)

I started this group to bring together Dubai readers who enjoy Buffy’s (IG @buffys__) picks. As I will be travelling over Eid al-Adha, I won’t be able to host a discussion for Buffy’s May selection. However, a few of us had a blast at the last event and decided to read *An Artist of the Floating World* by Kazuo Ishiguro as a bonus discussion for when I return. We'll chat about the book, meet fellow readers, and just have a chill time! It’s free to join, and I’ll confirm a café once numbers are final. Just a quick note: * It's a small group. If you sign up, please do your best to attend * Try to finish the book beforehand so everyone can fully join the discussion Kazuo Ishiguro is one of my favorite authors. Can't wait to read and discuss it with you all!

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
