Woo-hoo! No more casinos in Yerevan! No more casinos in any major cities in Armenia! I've been waiting for this day.
Okay, okay! I understand you guys have all made it clear to me that I should stop writing about "negative" things. I think some of you have the impression that I hate this place. Let's make this clear once and for all...I LOVE ARMENIA! Sure there are a few things I can write about that might seem negative to some, including my friend and I being called "lagods" a couple of times the other night (I think because we weren't dressed in the typical male Armenian attire which consists of a black suit and black dress shoes), but I will keep my mouth shut for now. In the meantime, I will wear my big blue and black Gap jacket and my Depeche Mode toques while people stare at me because I choose to dress differently (or rather warmly).
Last Thursday, I spent my afternoon with Madlene and Arthur. Arthur was shooting a music video at Astral Club, and after that, we dropped by Orran so they could say hello and goodbye to the kids before their LA trip. I have to tell everyone that Arthur is one of the most decent people/artists I have ever come across. His popularity hasn't gotten to his head and he's been very humble and super helpful over the past couple of months.
The city looks so beautiful these days. Walking outside at night, especially when there is no traffic and all the street lights are on, is so awesome! The tall tree they are installing in the middle of Republic Square is going to look great. The cold isn't really bothering me. Actually, it's quite similar to Canadian winters, minus the winds. Yerevan isn't windy at all. Plus I heard that this has been one of the coldest Decembers in a long time here. The sidewalks with the new stone blocks that Lincy funded are brutal. Last night I took a flip! I twisted my ankle and fell on my butt. Luckily nobody was around. I got up and kept walking trying to occupy my pain with the beautiful sights of Yerevan 11:30 at night.
The kitty was all alone, so I petted her and decided to take the escalators up Cascade to see Yerevan from above.....WOW!
I had pizza at Oscar last night (the restaurant within the Nairi Theatre complex) and was quite satisfied. I also walked by Pizza di Roma and saw one of the workers with his hand down his pants. Why does this happen to me?
