After only a few meters across the border, we already notice differences between the two small countries. Armenia seems much more \"Soviet\" than Georgia. The streets are full of old Ladas - people drive much more relaxed than in the neighboring state in the north (how much I don't miss the traffic in Georgia haha), many buildings are empty, there is coffee everywhere...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rave in an old concert hall<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Almost every village has old, decaying buildings. Some of them are sanatoriums from the past. These buildings are usually hardly used anymore. However, there is a group of young people who have devoted themselves to this and started to throw parties in them. We visit one of them near the mountain village of Dilijan. The \"Dilijan Composer's Unit\" consists of many different small bungalows, which could be visited by all kinds of musicians from the Soviet Union. There they and their families could vacation, relax and compose. As late as in the 80's a big concert hall was built. It still stands today, is in pretty good condition and at the end of September a huge experimental music festival (Urkavan) is supposed to take place here (but it won't, the war came in between). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
