Well, I work as a dog of war... It's my choice,and I have no regrets.
I came to Yerevan just to check it out. That was the biggest mistake of my life.
I found out that 99.5 of the Armenians are crooks,regardeless of their status in the society. Every day costed me between 300-400 eur or 500-600$ us. Just a remminder- I am a mercenary, and I don't care much.I didn't wanted to make troubles here,so I just let it go.
What did I got for my money:
Very poor sevice,no-one speaks english in this country;
Very poor food-they always give you what they think you want to eat,not what you ordered.
Very poor transport.Every taxi will charge you different,or make a few rounds just to build-up the price.
Very expensive drinks-you'll have to pay for everyone arround you,because thebill will be in armenian and non-negotiable.
My advice is- do not come here. Go in Afghanistan,at least you'll know what you're chances are.
Unique Suggestions: If you have to come to this...country,hire a translator.It'll cost you,but It'll save you triple. Good luck!!!
