Well the guidebooks are safe and sound, occupying an entire wall. Get 'em while they're hot off the press!! Hmm, it would be nice if I get them onto amazon.com so there is something besides that lame Lonely Planet book available abroad. Aaanyways, on the way back, Ashot got pulled over by a cop and took forever to talk his way out of it. Then as soon as I was done unloading the books, I looked over at the balcony of the place I was remodeling and saw my remodeling guys and that cop indicating for me to come over. I met the cop at street level with Zabel, Lena, and Ashot and we all started talking and complaining at once. I am not sure in the end what his original intent in coming over was (bribe?), but in any case in the end he was just repeating again and again he is the "neighborhood cop" (Deghamasayin Desuch) and it is his business to know everything that goes on in the neighborhood, who lives where, for how long, etc, etc. Can you say big brother? In any case I took his name (Aharon Sukiasyan) and phone number in case I have any problems and passed up the offer for a cup of coffee at my house or at a cafe that he put forward.
