> even if they despise the local culture that's the catch - they don't. they actually try to blend in as much as possible, but locals in armenia and georgia especially are very insecure and will get offended over very basic stuff like immigrants being unable to speak their language. they will claim that they are too arrogant and stuff when in reality most do not want to stay for more than a year or two, so its pointless to start learning armenian. > again, i don't think they really compete for the same jobs with locals they don't. but it doesn't stop the locals from complaining. > rent here i do agree with locals though. but again, its almost exclusively on their own greedy countrymen that rise the prices when they see the influx of money. in yerevan the prices jumped insanely after the immigrants came in with money. they eagerly kicked out their own countrymen and rented to the newly arrived guys at a double price. so yeah, i am not blaming liberals here. the locals are just angry they are not getting their share of the pie.
