There are sooooo many tourists in town. Firstly the Egyptian Armenian reunion being held in Yerevan , 300 of them are staying at Hotel Ani and therefore some drop in to my office for a visit since they can tell (somehow) that I’m a foreigner and ask for my suggestions on how they can volunteer in Armenia.

So many backpackers too, my 3 neighbours have 3 guests each staying with them and I’m busy translating there too (one of them is from Switzerland and is traveling on his push bike). While I was in vernisage on Saturday with 2 of my volunteers speaking English, this young couple approached me and told me to watch with my bag. I asked her immediately if she was Australian and she said yes and she only approached me since she detected my accent too!!

I have volunteers coming out of my ears. Currently there are 6 Volunteers for our world Learning Program and I have 2 Volunteers in town for IESC Armenia. Plus the preparations for Kenats festival this weekend. Ok that’s all I have time for and oh I saw Terminator 3 in English last night, what a waste of time that was.
