'''Armenia''' is a country in the [[Middle East]].<br />
<br />
Hitchhiking here is very easy, and safer in comparison to [[Turkey]]. Some drivers might want to charge some money - however, if before you get into the car you make clear you are not going to pay you can avoid misunderstandings at the end of the ride. <br />
<br />
The main point of consideration is the poor road conditions.<br />
<br />
== Sleeping ==<br />
<br />
In most of Armenia one can put up a tent and sleep comfortably. It is sometimes possible to stay with Armenians, but they are often unwilling hosts. The nation's Kurdish population, on the other hand, is extremely hospitable.<br />
<br />
Cheap but adequate hotels cost 5,000 to 6,000 dram, and it is possible to bargain at hotels.<br />
<br />
Monasteries are more often than not mere cultural monuments, and not permanently inhabited by monks. At night, guards makes sure everyone leaves.<br />
<br />
== Border Crossings ==<br />
<br />
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]] or [[Azerbaijan]]. Near the border to Azerbaijan there can be unsecured fields of landmines and sometimes the conflict at this border escalates.<br />
