56 Barbus Street Yerevan, Armenia
Hi everyone, I’m from Armenia – a small but very beautiful country in South Caucasus. <br><br> Ok, now this should be more than just some advice on what to do when coming to Armenia. I have to give you as much information as possible. So I just divided my Kit into categories to make it easier to read and find information needed. If you have any questions feel free to ask. To know more about ...
Yerevan, Yerevan, Armenia eleoshka... the pricey room, just to see what I'd missed. That almost ALWAYS works, but not this time. But sure enough, there they are on the Net, more selection than Erevan even, and I didn't even book a room in Erevan yet, since it's already last minute. Oh well, things could be worse. They already are. The gout symptoms in my foot are acting up again, for the first time in over a year. That's the last thing I need right now. One full-fledged attack ...
Yerevan, Armenia hardiek... the main `chamber' huge, I did mean to say at each of the churches/monasteries you can buy candles, light them and place them in a sand/water trough, I have done this at most We then came back into Yerevan and finished the day with a tour through the Cognac Factory, mmmmmmmmmm three quite large brandy glasses with a good measure each, no Ginger ale either, still feel the effects, but ...
Yerevan, Armenia mablim... here. "But I'm sitting right here!" She said you're not here and wouldn't let me buy a ticket. As I dejectedly started to walk back to the bus station, the driver muttered some words it was probably better I couldn't translate and called, "Come back. Sit down. It doesn't matter." I ended up with a seat to myself for the trip since I didn't have an assigned ticket seat like the people who came later and were allowed to buy a ticket since by then, the driver had ...
Vanadzor, Armenia mvmcwhir... my blathering that I thought I could buy a visa at the border, he smiled and sent me to another window. At the next window, the guard asked for Armenian money for the visa. At my fearful expression, he smiled and sent me to the exchange booth. I exchanged money, got my visa almost immediately, and then returned to the first window. There the guard stamped my passport, offered me a mandarin orange while I waited, and chatted about the Presidential elections and ...
Yerevan, Armenia mvmcwhir... I got accidentally obsessed by wooden doors having really original ornaments. There is also an extra bell tower worth seeing. At the end I meet a sweet old lady who shows me around and explains (in Russian:|) what she used to do here for 20 years and what is what. Interesting is sacrifice place for sheep and wine cellar (=huge vessel buried in ground, with just the mouth free) combined with a library. There's also a refectory (dining room) with grinding stones and a central place for ...
Yerevan, Armenia mys... a more potent symbol of Armenian Christianity (if you had to pick just one). Returning to Anahit's homestay after each day around Yerevan or on a day trip, I would sit on the couches surrounded by Vernissage art and chat a little, here and there. George was a Georgian-Armenian whose family settled in Georgia after fleeing from the Van region now in Turkey. He was visiting Armenia with his brother to see friends from when he lived by Lake Sevan, meditating on the ...
Echmiadzin, Armenia lraleighThis morning Mt. Ararat was shrouded in cloud. First up today is a visit to Zvartknots monastery which is in ruins. Armenian churhes have a circular shell with the crucifix design/shape inside the circle. Then it was onto Hripsime monastery to see the church and to visit the crypt which contained the grave of St. Hripsime who was buried in the 300s AD. Finally it was on to ultimate destination of the day, Echmiadzin. Echmiadzin usually holds the relic ...

Yerevan, Armenia hafrunb... you to get the basic idea. interesting fact: all armenian churches are built in the shape of a cross! i thought the most amazing thing was the sundial outside of that old capitol. it had an armenian inscription just above the numbers that read "You can pray to God at any hour." isnt that just the most beautiful thing you've ever heard? i want a clock that says that! we also got to go to the bazaar today which was basically a flea market or swap meet.... except with really ...
