Greece, An empire in decay

Video

It was not easy to enter Greece. Aparently the border-guards felt way superior over a motorhome with Thai plates and at first they refused to let us enter because our insurance papers were digital (welcome to the 21st century), but after a helpfull Turkish customs-official printed them out for us, the Greek could not find any other reasons to detain us and grudgingly let us enter the EU.

Georgia: Ex-Soviet with a mind of its own

Georgia is a bit of an odd duck. It is ex-Soviet, but has its own script which looks very exotic. It has an interesting “motto”, which is embodied in the image of a woman holding a glas of wine in one hand and a sword in the other. No, she is not an agressive drunk: “Guest are welcomed if they come in peace, but if they come with bad intentions… “
It is also the only country I know of that does not require a visa for anyone and alows visitors to stay for one year. They are not kidding with their motto.

India, the art of chaos.

They say that you either hate if or love it. I think you can do both, but the present-day average Indian makes it pretty easy to hate it/them. One clear exception are the Sikh. No matter how messed up the country and its people are, the Sikh are the rock in the surf. They are simply said “good people”, always there to help you and never ask anything in return.
