The Gypsy King of Moldova
(Excerpt from www.whereisjoey.com - A Day With the Gypsy King of Moldova.) "...the russian way! drink tea and cognac at same time and you not get too drunk. Don't worry!!!" I get very drunk and the pictures start to become blurry. We talked over lunch about his job and the different struggles he comes across in broken French and translated Romanian until we are innterupted by a pair of street cats fighting on his lawn. He looks over at the animals with disgust and says "eyy, one minute" and dissapears into his home quicky.
A few minutes later he comes out on his porch holding a huge rifle, aims without hesitation, and shoots the cat. He explodes with laughter and Will and I can't help but laugh in nervous confusion and the absolute ridiculousness of the whole situation. We start taking turns shooting stuff with his pellet gun and he sets up some bottle targets around the house."
