I met another 2 Aussies (Armenian Australians) today at the Armenian Volunteer Corps office. They are here to work on renovating the school in Martuni, Karabagh as representatives of the AYF from Australia. What a small world indeed, even though I had never met them in Sydney, they ended up knowing my sister very well, as well as my niece and they attend the same university as my nephew. So far there are two of us from Australia volunteering for AVC, myself and Hratch whom I also met in Yerevan. It has been quite encouraging meeting Armenians from Australia in Yerevan and all I have to say on this matter is, keep them coming!

Regarding my remodelling, unfortunately there isn�t much progress. We are still waiting for the plaster on the walls to dry properly before they can proceed with the next stage. I�m being told to have patience and everything will work out in the end. I would guess at this stage, the flat should be completed by month end with any luck.
