I haven�t logged since my first year anniversary April 18, so much has happened since. I�m suddenly involved with a few side projects, which I�m thoroughly enjoying.

A quick update on what I�ve been doing for the past couple of weeks. As Raffi K. mentioned Hans was very interesting indeed and since he was staying with my next door neighbour I invited him to a few gatherings and showed him around the city. He was very impressed with the cleanliness of the city centre in comparison to other countries.

April 24th was amazing. In the group I walked with this year, we had an American, a Brit and a Belgian all interested in experiencing this event.

Last week I bought a car! A Niva, 4 wheel drive, which I have no idea on how to drive. Firstly the shift stick is on the wrong side and secondly I�ll have to drive on the wrong side of the road! The process was a killer. It took the seller, the driver and myself all day to get through the process of registering the car in my name and obtaining new number plates. I�m so glad it�s all over.

Last Saturday night I was invited to attend a Spring Ball function at Armenia Hotel. Let�s hope Spring is coming because really it�s about time it started getting warmer.

That�s all the news for now, I�m sure I�ve forgotten to mention some things but tonight I�ll be teaching my English class followed by a meeting at the Foreign Ministry and lastly followed by dinner with Ara from Martuni who�s in town for a couple of days.
