Hi Guys was hoping for some help, Moldova is a place i’ve always wanted to visit but for logistical reason never been able to until now with a direct flight starting from my local airport to Chisinau in a couple months

and have a few of question before planning my trip

• language do many people speak english or will there be a language barrier in most places ?
• I was looking at coming in January from what i’ve read it going to be cold is it worth coming during the freezing weather I don’t mind the cold weather i was in the alps last January so being a bit cold doesn’t bother me but is everywhere going to be open as it would in the spring/summer is there anything worth considering ?
• also food I am not a massive foodie I much prefer to stick to what I know and also have most of my food quite plain compared to most even when away in places with a food culture, so what is the food like in Chișinău is it easy to find places that serve “western” foods like Burgers, Pizza, chicken strips if you get what I mean ?
• also one sort of out there question, what are the railways like in Chișinău when I go to different countries I like to go and see the railway infrastructure and trains to see what its like compared to different places is it something i can do in Moldova or is it not a good idea ?

Thanks for any help anyone can give
