If anyone is thinking of what business they can run in Armenia, how about "Aghandzot" SCJSC, "Tatev" Subsidiary of "Nero" SCJSC, doesn't the name sound perfectly Soviet? Well, it is. I don't even really know what it does, but it is for sale along with hundreds of other Soviet enterprises on www.privatization.am so visit that if you want to see what else the state is trying to unload.

Last night we had an office goodbye party for the American volunteer designer who worked on the Visitor Info Center with us. It was at.... yes, Ashtaraki Dzor! that makes 3 times in 3 weeks. Anyways, the food was good and the dance show was quite entertaining if more in a funny way than the serious way they were aiming for. So the center is ready and open and just waiting for all the things we ordered to be delivered pretty much so that we can function normally. Did I mention we choose the pomegranate as the logo for Armenia? It looks really great. The designer got a huge ceramic pomegranate as a parting gift :-)
