... jak jelen. Po chvíli jsme zjistili, &#382;e to nebyl idiot, ale p&#345;ijí&#382;d&#283;jící svatba, na kterou se &#353;el Luká&#353; podívat, a kdy&#382; si cht&#283;l vyfotit nev&#283;stu, tak se mu málem povedlo podpálit si vlasy od v&#353;udyp&#345;ítomných sví&#269;ek (Arménci tradi&#269;n&#283; v kostelech zapalují sví&#269;ky, a tak to ud&#283;lala asi i celá svatba). Nena&#353;li jsme odvoz, tak jsme se vydali zp&#283;t na autobusovou stanici.<br> Nechali ...

... výpravy. Dolda s Petrem si toti&#382; objednali Arménské národní jídlo. Kdy&#382; paní p&#345;inesla misku s bé&#382;ovou vodou v ní&#382; plaval kus kraví nohy bez jediného kousku masa zato se spoustou chrupavky, doufali jsme s Petrem, &#382;e to není v&#353;echno. Ale bylo. Ta bé&#382;ová voda vypadala trochu jako odpad z kafilérky i s nezpracovaným kouskem a taky to tak chutnalo. Paní donesla misku s rozmixovaným &#269;esnekem, jeho&#382; p&#345;ilitím se ...

... gaiff.am During the year «days of ... films» are orgonized. Like there are «Week of English films», «Days of German cinema» etc.<br><br> The other description for Armenia is «the artists' inspiration». This is because of: a) the historical «breath» of Armenia; b) the wonderful nature different but in all its ways gorgeous during all the seasons; and c) for its national colour and people. <br><br> Sports ...

... and live Russian rock-and-roll for free. It's always beautiful to watch a country 'coming out', in this case from years of Soviet domination, after centuries of Ottoman domination, after years of Persian, Greek, Roman whatever domination... Armenia has always pretty much gotten the poop end of the palo. The genocide by Turks, both Ottoman and Ataturk, was, and still is, unmentionable, especially by selfsame Turks. Is that what they mean ...

... don't rush in the morning. Marahau girls---- you will be pleased to hear that we have been serviced!!! that really means our apartment, but-----the bed linen has to be seen to be believed, I have taken photos, we have discovered that the hole in the middle of the sheet is for stuffing the rugs etc in. Tomorrow Sunday, Julian flying to Georgia early and will be back ...

... leader to stand on the scales while they fill up the other side with brandy to match his body weight. The heaviest leader was Yeltsin- it wasn't discovered until later, when they were watching a film of the event, that Yeltsin's bodyguard had his foot on the edge of the scales to bring down the weight. The barrels of brandy are kept until the leaders request them (Yeltsin's family may request his). There is also a barrel that will only be opened when the Nagorno ...

... are Armenians, but living in Iran,US,France,Syria,etc. Like the Jews, Armenian people are living in diaspora nowadays, since they had a row of national tragedies in their history. They've got closed border to Turkey since the Ottomans massacred hundred of thousands of them and even nowadays the Turks don't admit it (!). On the other side, there are closed borders to Azerbaijan because of the war to get mostly Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh area. All the transport goes via Iran or by rail ...

... the genocide: it was gone. But the museum has a vivid reason for existing in the present, as the U.S. House of Representatives debates whether or not to label these events as genocide, the Turkish government fights the P.K.K. Kurds in Northern Iraq, and Turkey waits for EU status. Letters from Rudi Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger, leaders of places with large Armenian diaspora, show that many already support such recognition. Looking at it further, it's ...

... still appears to be a problem elsewhere in the country. Of course, no matter what, it's not getting worse for anyone (we hope) and the situation seems to be better for many so I can't not be happy for them. Even in our little "Vosgetap" village where I stayed in 1995 and just visited, they have recently been connected with gas to most homes, have almost consistent and continuous electricity, and have a water source from somewhere ...

... throughout this trip. Pray that you will be able to see the change in us when we come home because God has been so good and we hope to never be the same again! Thank you for the opportunity you have given us in supporting us on this journey and I hope someday you will all get to see Mt. Ararat in its majestic glory on a clear morning such as this. God truly is an amazing CREATOR God. ~Deborah Woo~
