With a population of just 22,183, Orhei is a small, unassuming Moldovan city that offers little to excite the average expat. The town's history as an important defensive outpost has left behind a lingering bureaucracy that is a persistent headache for newcomers. While the city boasts a Jewish cultural legacy and a thriving tobacco industry, the harsh continental climate and provincial vibe make it a tough sell for all but the most dedicated Russophiles or tobacco aficionados.
