'''Armenia''' is a country in the [[Middle East]].
Hitchhiking here is very easy, and safer when compared in comparison to [[Turkey]]. Some drivers might wanna want to charge some money - however, if before you sit get into the car you make clear you are not going to pay you can avoid misunderstandings at the end of the ride.
The main point of consideration are the poor road conditions.
Cheap but adequate hotels cost 5,000 to 6,000 dram, and it is possible to bargain at hotels.
Monasteries are more often than not mere cultural momentsmonuments, and not permanently inhabited by monks. At night, guards makes sure everyone leaves.
== Border Crossings ==
There are three border crossings with [[Georgia]], through the towns of Ninotsminda (Georgia), Dmanisi (Georgia) and Bagratashen (Armenia). It is not possible to cross the border to [[Turkey]] and or [[Azerbaijan]]. Near the border to Azerbaijan there can be unsecured fields of landmines and sometimes the conflict at this border escalates.
