Yerevan, Armenia

I'm not too happy here in Yerevan. It's a city that's not European enough to be so expensive. I don't like cities per se anyway. I don't know why I came to Armenia. The mountainous areas I want to go to have no public transportation. I'm thinking of going to Lake Sevan tomorrow and I probably will, but I know it's very expensive. I need to get in the water quickly or go for a hike. That means back into Georgia to Kazbegi on the Russian border.

That's all I have to say. Well, there are a few more: the toilet paper here is white and soft. On the tables of all the restaurants are a box of tissues. The girls are skinny, wear skimpy tight clothes, and wear the highest heels I've ever seen.

I'm in Sevan and I hate it more. It's in the middle of no where, it's freezing, and even for me it's too cold to swim. No mountains, no where to walk. For anyone who knows Edgerton, Missouri it's like that. Podunkville. You need a car to go anywhere and I don't have one. I'm paying $80 a night and I might as well be in Timbuktu. Actually that's an insult to Timbuktu which I heard is a fascinating place.

Hey but it's got an internet cafe. Now if I can only find a beer or something way stronger.
