Valid Question #1 to Ask
Does the elevator in your building work?
One of my friends, a local Moldovan, asked me that very question today. (It does.)
We visited a friend on Tuesday who lives in one of the old-style Soviet concrete high rises. We bravely (naively?) got into the elevator. Dan punched the button (think manual typewriter keys from 1950, and you have an idea of the buttons on this elevator) and we rose to the 5th floor. Rebecca wondered why it was so dark, I wondered why it was shaking so much. When we got to our floor, we all jumped when we heard what we thought was a gunshot. It wasn't - instead, it was just the button popping out! The doors opened, we found our friends, we ate pie.
Oh, then there is the story from last year: my husband and some other friends had to CLIMB OUT (not just step out) of our elevator because it stopped midway between floors. Now THAT'S a great memory!
