Don't think I will ever make it to Armenia so it's not really a 'must see'. Learned a few years ago that all 'Samaritans' aren't necessarily good when a guy helped me and as soon as I turned my back stole my bike. It wasn't in Ireland.

This guy will get over it eventually although I understand why he's feeling angry at present.

Glad he is ok physically . It'll likely turn him off from now on to offers of genuine kindness, which is sad.

The video was posted a year ago, I hope he is over it by now, and was able to complete his tour.
