I now have less than a week until I leave for Philidelphia for staging, and I have to admit I’m pretty excited to go. I’ve been busy visiting friends in Kirksville/STL/Columbia/KC this past week, but it’s time to get out of here. My family will be in town this week, which will be great (especially having my sister over).
Anyway, if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what I should expect life to be like in Armenia. I don’t know what city I’ll be living in. I don’t know where I will be living, and what utilities and food I will have available. And that just makes me even more excited. Here are a few excerpts from e-mails of people in Armenia I’ve been talking to:
It gets really cold here in the winter. It may not get as cold as Northern Missouri but the difference is you have central heating in homes and in schools. There is no heat in any schools here. As for utilities you will be lucky to have gas, water and electricity all on the same day. Everyday is a suprise. You will love it here. In the winter you can go to the old Soviet ski resort and ski or snowboard, lots of great hiking all over the country.
As for the food…
the food is very fresh and good. Vegetables and fruits are seasonal but tasty. Not to scare you but as Americans we eat a lot of processed food. So when you get here you will be eating fresh foods and you will be a little stressed. So what I am trying to say is you WILL eventually have the SHITS.
At least there’s something to look forward to 😉
