We’re going to the Genocide Museum with O., a Turkish guy .The closed border between Armenia an Turkey makes them separate worlds, where Turkish people wonder if is it safe to travel around Armenia and enables a moment of suspense each time we say ‘This is O., he’s from Turkey’. N. says he saw someone being beaten up in the street the other day. I didn’t witness such kind of thing since I’m here and feel quite safe walking around. I could say that in general people are high tempered and quick to raise their voices. Someone told me that Portugal was Pisces. I would say that Armenia is Scorpio, emotions flow on big waves and never forgets. Actually I saw a scorpion in the living room the other day. It said welcome to the motherland. Today we’re going there to remember.
