It reminded me of how much I miss that life. It sounds a bit strange, but seeing those soviet block buildings and that run down infrastructure brought waves of longing to be back living in my Soviet block building, going to work every day at my NGO, hitchhiking to other volunteers' towns on the weekend, hosting CouchSurfers all summer, hiking in the mountains of Armenia, celebrating Armenian holidays and special events with my Armenian friends, and speaking another language all the time. Even though I've made other friends since leaving Peace Corps, there's no one I want to be around more than other Peace Corps volunteers, and especially all the ones I served with.
