Moldova will attempt to become a member of the EU by 2020


No. I was thinking about internal EU processing only. There is no intent to grant a candidate status to Moldova right now and it have taken more than six years for Romania, Croatia, et cetera to join.





Only three countries could realistically join EU in 2020: Iceland, Serbia, Montenegro.
Maybe Albania, but they haven't started the negotiations yet.

Which places should you visit in ... Norway?


Bergen, and especially Bryggen.
Hiking to Preikestolen  is also interesting.

How's Public Transit in Europe really like?


Daily commute starting with 10 km ride on a bike. From train station 100 km ride in small electric train. (75 m long, always clean, with good air conditioning) Another 7.5 km ride on a bike , passing a llama, gets me to the work.
Costs about 100 € a month including few spare bike parts. Obvious drawback is riding in the rain.
