Hotel Meg Yerevan

...

One of the advantages of Armenia is that Yerevan is situated in reachable distances from all the places in Armenia. So you can take an excursion or a tour for one day, and manage to go there ...

... tend to follow the lead of their smaller counterparts. So I'm thinking I'm staying close to one of the terminals from which buses go to Erevan, but when I get there the next morning, there are only local buses. "You get a bus to Marneuli, and then you get another to Yerevan," the driver says in something resembling International Sign Language. I'm skeptical but go for it, assuming it will take me to the border, from where I'll find ...

We are so lucky to be able to use Julian's laptop -it is so easy to log into the Travel Blog with out a hassle. Thank you to all who have added wee comments, we race to see who is following, but we know many of you will be looking. Today has been unreal, Marion and I up earlyish, actually we were late to bed, a few `nightcaps' really getting into the swing of Bloody Mary's, we also painted our fingernails, mine are gold ...

... out of the trunk. What? I asked him what he was doing since this wasn't 5 Sayat-Nova Street or the building I had pointed at or even being turned around. He shrugged. "It would be hard to turn around. You should have told me to stop earlier." I did tell you to stop earlier! How did you not understand, "Hey, that is my building." And then why did you tell me you would turn around? Why did you pick here to stop? Does it look like Sayat Nova 5? What's the point of ...

... we're on 47 Sayat Pova and the numbers are going down, doesn't that mean we have a few blocks before we reach the building? Sigh. The hostel is very nice- it's in a beautiful apartment. Sadly, this beautiful apartment is on the 5th floor without an elevator. The owner came out on landing and watched me take a little rest break on the 3rd floor landing, commenting that my backpack was bigger than I was. She started the hostel 5 years ago when her husband died ...

... I have to speak with the bishop (?)...aand he speaks English, is from Lebanon and studied in USA. On the way back we take two computer engineering students (such a bad English) and take some gas (nearly no petrol here). And then I pay him 10000AMD which I'll regret till the end of my life since he was the best taxi driver and I should have given him more. While going back to the homestay I can't believe my eyes, there are so many beautiful girls out there in the city;). After some ...

... arrived, people were cheering and kissing the troops," but he continued by saying it all went wrong from there, beginning when the troops dismantled the Iraqi police, army, border guards, and more. "These people knew who how to tell the bad people from the good people. The Americans had no idea." After that, the terrorists came from the now-porous borders and sectarian tensions flared. We talked about the two women who just blew up their fellow countrymen in the ...

... Pope! After the ceremony, we went to the Armenian Genecide museum and its monument which contains an eternal flame. Needless to say, it was a very moving experience. It was back to Yerevan for the afternoon where I visited the Vernissage market. I find that markets are an interesting place to observe culture; everything was for sale: car parts, home plumbing, surgery equipement (in case you want to sell your organs I suppose), musical inctruments, and ...

Hey, guys! So we had quite an adventure yesterday. It was indeed a very Holy Day. We woke up at 08.30, as usual, and we had another wonderful breakfast w/ absolutely amazing bread and jelly. It's really interesting how the food is always so good when you travel. Amazing food, amazing people, amazing culture... Absolutely amazing. We knew that we didn't have a concert until 18.00 or so late night, so during the day, we went out to visit some ...
