I decided to freeze my nose tonight just for the sake of going out for a walk.

Boy was I completely shocked to see Republic Square. Last year was nothing like this. Does this country have enough electricity to spare for our main Square?

Of course the big tree was there in the middle all alone, and at least another dozen or more smaller trees with flashing lights on all the new lamp posts. The buildings were also lit quite nicely, and seeing the illuminated red Marriott sign at the main entrance to the former Hotel Armenia topped it all off. Abovyan Street was also completely lit (although I really don't like the new lamp posts they put up).

I will try to get some pics to share with all of you.
