The dead are dressed in their best clothes. Ideally, the corpse is watched over for three days and visited by relatives and friends.

Wheter you want to be a cook or a doctor all you would need is some school and some college. But you won't get paid enough anyway. In America, people can work from age of 14 and up. You will get paid enough if you don't have a lot of kids. But you could afford some food and a roof.
If you have trouble with money the government will help you by giving you free health program or free food sometimes and probably some partly free college. Although people in America are racist you really won't regret!!!

While a bit over the top, Mr. Weiner's research revealed important truths which have been consistently observed by scholar and visitor alike: Landlocked between Romania and Ukraine, Moldovans lack a solid sense of identity, pride of nation and hope for the future. That, along with grinding poverty, help explain why as many as one-quarter of all Moldovans live and work abroad, sending back the remittances that keep this country afloat.
