The capital of Armenia - Yerevan was founded in 782B.C. <br>So now every year 11th October we celebrate the birthday of our city. <br>This is all about closingall the ways for cars in town, everybody's out walking in the streets happy, cheerful, laughing!!! There are dozens of different free open air concerts throughout the town - in one place - jazz, in another ...

... 8211; you are walking through the town and as you pass different parts of it you listen to totally different music &#8211; in one place they perform rock, in other &#8211; jazz, in the third &#8211; classic, the 4th &#8211; Armenian, 5th &#8211; French Chanson... and so on!<br><br> Winter &#8211; as I said Tsakhkadzor is a famous ski resort, so the best thing to do in winter is to stay a week ...

... except one thing- these people drive like maniacs. Not only won't they stop for you in a cross-walk, THEY'LL BEAR DOWN ON YOU. Think maybe you'll call a cop? THE COPS DRIVE THE SAME! It's the one black spot on an otherwise remarkable people, and I mean black. These people are homicidal. I used to say you could judge a person or a people by the way they drive, but maybe I'll modify that- let's say you can measure a certain maturity level ...

Today I went to the Khor Virap Monastary near the border with Turkey (very near- as in, half the site is in Turkey and I could have touched Turkish soil if I wasn't scared of getting electrocuted by the fence...) and near the slopes of Mount Ararat. The site was the capital of Armenia from 2nd century B.C. to 5th century A.D., and after that the site was built on until the 17th century and still serves as an active church today. It's ...

20.9.2008: Armenia, Debed Canyon I get up really early: I want to take marshrutka to the borders of Armenia, take a taxi to explore Debed Canyon right behind them and end up at Vanadzor. However, there are cats&amp;dogs pouring behind the windows and I really don't like the idea of hiking to the borders (marshrutka would go just as far as the last Georgian town) or finding a taxi. So let's take Yerevan-bound marshrutka and get off at Vanadzor... The 8am one should go from Ortachala bus ...

... so did the rest of my friends. It was fun becuase he knew where we were from, and talked about boxing a lot. No, not a lot of tourists visits Armenia. Which is confusing, because this country is so beautiful it lives up to its tourism slogan of "An Outdoor Museum". The entire city is a museum! in fact, in every corner, there's a picture perfect view or building. The republic square was a sight to behold. It was like Europe during its glorious old days, and

... a small shack on the side of a dirt road with a few men dressed in military uniforms. Here leaving Georgia I had one of the most pleasant border crossings I have ever imagined. Straight and to the point they rounded us up from the cars and herded us into the small building. We were higher in altitude than we had been previously and the cold air along with the rain chilled us. Crammed inside a one-room tax office, which doubled as the guards living ...

20. maí (dagurinn fyrir heimferð)Ekki getum við verið án þess að kíkja á eina eða tvær kirkjur í ferðalok en sem betur fer eru þær bara örskotsferð út frá Yerevan. Við þá fyrri stendur karlmaður og flautar á hvítar og brúnar dúfur sem hnita hringi um kirkjuturninn. Þær þekkja merkið og koma í morgunmat á stéttina, sennilega fá þær morgunmat í hvert sinn sem túristarúturnar koma að kirkjunni því rétt á eftir okkur er önnur rúta og þá er sýningin endurtekin. Sýningin ...

... more time at the orphanage since none of us were hungry anyways! After dinner, we went back to the church near the music conservatory and saw a performance of some of the youth. They sang, danced, spoke, recited scripture, and even sang a little bit in English! It was nice to see the youth sharing their love for God with us. Then, it was another long bus ride back to Yerevan. It seems a lot of our time is spent that way. We were pretty much all exhausted and went to bed ...
