I am happy to say that Levon Travel has been been cooperative so far, so I hope things work out well. I also finally got a reply from Ani Tour about all the photos they have taken off of my web site. That situation was slightly humorous because they asked WHICH photos and it was every single one, and I am even IN one of the photos! :-) So I hope to have both of those problems fixed soon, which leaves only one big violator I know of. Did I mention that last year I even found a nice calendar for sale in Yerevan made only with photos from my web site? I had to buy one to have a copy! I just noticed an interesting shot from the store window on the calendar, and when I got closer to see who took it, I saw it was me! :-)

The apartment hunt in NY is intensifying. The prices for what you get are just unbelievable. You can buy a house in an Armenian village every month for the rent you pay out here for a tiny space with no bedrooms, and I am not talking about Manhattan. It is still a shock for me coming from Armenia, and used to lower rents in the LA area which I hear have skyrocketed too, but still nothing like this. Anyway, so far we have not seen anything worthwhile.
