Last night was one of the big social events of the Armenia-Diaspora conference. We went to fancy Hotel Yerevan and mingled with many of the diasporans who had come to Armenia for the conference. We met lots of cool people, including old friends, new people who are here for the conference, and even some diasporans who have been living here for a solid decade now! It is good to see the conference attracting so many people. Today and tomorrow during the day will be the actual conference and many related events going on simultaneously. Tuesday night is going to be the big end-of-conference bbq at Sardarabad, coincidentally (?) on May 28, Independence Day of Armenia's first republic.
