a cultural weekend it was.

on friday i went to the lince show, at the camerayin tadron. wow, a very funny, creative, and talented group of actors put together a great show. full of political sattire on the made up set of the lincy foundation's renovation of the sidewalks of yerevan.

towards the end of two hours of laughter and a dazzling script one of the actors solves the age old armenian problem. according to his great plan armenia and albania would trade places. both cover roughly 28,000 square kilometers of land. armenia is surrounded by muslims and albania is mostly muslim surrounded by christians. the whole cast got excited and starting planning the great switch... the girls were delighted about the new coast they would have and started to plan trips to the beach. only when the cast realized that they would have to leave behind mt. ararat were they mortified. although manvel, the great thinker, promised to make a mount ararat out of penoplast... it was not quite the same. they concluded that they would stay, and work towards a better armenia.

on sunday we went to the movies. a new action (karate) armenian flick just came out starring the very hott gor vartanian. it was actually a good movie. our good friend aramo stars in the movie playing a heroine addict who sells his own father for his addiction. too many people died for my taste, but i guess violence sells all over the world. if you get a chance and it is playing in your hood, check out the movie chgrvats orenk (unwritten law)... i think you will be amused.

as far as these burglaries are concerned, arthur's police friends say that brigades of burglars from georgia and moscow have come for this reason alone. we will all have to take precautions. i knew this was not local as this is uncommon. now i must say i have been hearing of this too much.
