In this paper I will provide a sample of my experiences and adventures during fieldwork among the Moldavian Csángós since 2001. I will analyze the local attitudes to ethnographers' work, as I experienced doing fieldwork in Moldavian Csángó villages. I will describe the circumstances that made the fieldwork difficult, that is, the prejudices of the representatives of the local church and civil authorities as well as the fears of the community members. I will show my struggles to find a suitable methodological framework in the midst of a local environment that did not support the ethnographer's work.
