I just got back from a trip to the huge cargo warehouse by the airport. If anyone was wondering about the relocation of the casinos, I saw at least a dozen of them all next to each other. Isn't it sad though that the first thing visitors will see now, when they come to this country, is all these casinos?

Frank Muller was in town yesterday for the opening of his elite Swiss watch shop on Abovian. I still haven't understood if he has opened a factory here or he is going to. I've also heard rumors that he is going to open up a workshop in Artsakh as well. Maybe Ara knows something about this.

So it's still snowing and snowing and snowing. Everybody I talk to says they can't believe how much snow there is this year and that it hasn't been like this in years. But according to one of my relatives, the faces of the people on the streets are so different than what they used to be like back in '92 or '93. They used to look so depressed and hopeless, and you can't really see that anymore.

I think I might check out the big holiday tree in the middle of Republic Square and Frank's watch shop this afternoon. Though, I might have to put on a suit and black dress shoes (like a Hayastantzi) to be allowed into Abovian Streets latest glamour shop. God I love that street!
