You came here a few months before I did. I arrived in October 2023, spent 8 months here, then ran off to Georgia for almost a year.

I've been through that old railway. It's an interesting space. Last I read there was some intent to do something in the area. Though I don't think it was good news for the railway and the old building.

I've been to that stadium, in summer 24 it was active, people were using it. Though I didn't try to get inside, I just saw football teams and such arriving. It's used for all sorts of sports again. I don't know if that market exists still, I haven't seen it. Though I'll keep an eye out.

I'm really scouting some unique areas of the city at the moment. There's a silly amount of factories that are abandoned and completely untouched. A nuclear bunker near my apartment that is unlocked; though I'm really, really cautious about exploring these areas since Armenia is a bit more paranoid about people exploring such things. Mostly because they don't understand that people are interested in the history, they immediately think you're some sketchy fuck doing something sinister for Turkey or Azerbaijan. I've already been detained here just for flying a drone in the middle of nowhere and getting followed by a stranger.

It's different to Georgia's urbex side of things. Georgia's more popular for that stuff, but it means many of the locations have bee looted. Even the most basic factories in the middle of the city here are untouched. Locals either don't care or don't even know this stuff is even there. I plan to explore some of these things, just doing a ton of scouting and being 100% sure I'm not ending up in a police station again trying to tell people I'm British and definitely not a spy haha
