From Armenia to...
So it's been almost 4 months I have been staying in Armenia without a real job. Since mid-April, I am doing all the stuff I couldn't do when I was studying and working; playing music and dancing more, meeting people, getting expert at random street encounters and market conversations, visiting locals' homes and having tea with them... It's been good, I've felt spoiled on the one hand, having the luxury to live like that, to be what one could call 'absolutely free' thanks for temporary financial independence and the absence of necessity to work, but I also felt blessed. Blessed to be able to realised things that I was longing to do for so long, blessed to have gone through so many learning experiences, blessed to have had time to create deep relationships and help some people around me.
Since a few days, as the date of my driving exam is approaching and therewith the end of my need to stay here, I have started to make plans again. The plan for the next two months (=the order of the countries which I will visit) has already changed a few times, and the ideas for the months thereafter a few times as well. But I feel some direction, a desire to leave and to move on. I have the feeling that I have learned and seen and done what there was for me here, and I start to feel a bit stuck. Again, I feel spoiled to be able to just leave as I please, while most of the armenians are struggling here (oh.. except Dodi Gago! The rich oligarch with a castle on the way to Sevan ;)) and many are dreaming to emigrate. But I will take my chance, looking back at my time here with good memories and hope for the future of Armenia (Yes! that's sounds like a good end of speech!). Ok, I gotta say something stupid here... ah for once I'll keep talking seriously ;) Hey actually there's nothing else serious to say, let's call it a post and I am going to study armenian driving rules for my exam!
