This is basically what Armenia looks like. For some reason Wikitravel produces beautiful maps of every country on the planet that I have ever been to except Armenia. So I was in the Yerevan region trying to get to the Syunik region and evidently the Vayots Dzor region is the Bermuda Triangle of Armenia. Is was so hard to get out of and no one was going through. If I were this little keystone wedge I'd be exacting tolls and threatening the entire country with supply chain interruption until all the riches of the east poured into my coffers. But this is probably why I'm such a global success and why Armenia is landlocked and doesn't have a national transportation strategy. |
Taking Metternich's quip that "Asia begins on the Landstrasse" all too seriously, I have plunged myself deep into the heart of Europe's "Internal Other." Or at least I had plunged myself for a year before returning to my first love, financial controlling and credit risk management, in Budapest, recounting my memories retrospectively and in chronological order (and you know how much I love chronological integrity!).
