Mayis 28, national holiday.
Most stores and businesses were closed yesterday.
There has been much action and adaptation for us since we�ve settled in our new apartment. It�s really a cool place. The kids took longer to get rid of their jet lag, which was not very pleasant for us. The first days they slept from noon till 8 p.m. and were wide awake all night. I am glad to tell you that things are back to normal now and they sleep at around 10 p.m. and wake up at about 9 a.m.
We have also hired a young baby sitter who will be a big help since we have no relatives here who can help us out.
What I miss most about life in Montreal is the family and the few close friends. Everything else, you can find in Armenia.
Let me tell you about a few interesting places we�ve found for the kids. The first is a caf� on Mashtots that has games and toys for kids while the parents eat or have coffee. Next, is a drop in day care with indoor games and park for kids between 0-4 years old. It is called Ganach Bardez and is sponsored by a French organization. They have a psychologist and childcare workers who help parents through the tough years. Kids can also have their home made lunch at the Garden.
This is truly a great place to raise your kids. If you want them to have a comfortable and happy childhood, I highly recommend you live here for some years. For those who want more details about child care in Armenia, you can write me on the hotmail account and ask specific questions. You can ask about anything you want from nutrition, to healthcare, to diapers to clothing to toys.
Besides that, life is really beautiful. I wake up in the morning, walk down the building and buy a few fresh fruits for the day, fresh bread, milk. Then I go to work at about 10 a.m. It�s literally a 1 minute walk to the Land and Culture office. As for work, it has its ups and downs, but is a great challenge. Anyone who wants to or is visiting Armenia should make a point of dropping by.
Saturday is my birthday. It will be my first in Armenia. I am thinking of a special way to celebrate this day. Any suggestions?
