Yes, Yerevan is getting colder and colder. The snow from a few days ago is still everywhere, and sometimes it's slush, sometimes it's so cold that the slush turns into ice. Walking around is more interesting now. Especially when there are locals who insist on continuing to wear stilleto shoes... perhaps it helps them, but I saw this one lady with a broken heel trying her best to balance... huh? I don't get it. Risk breaking my ankle for beauty? I think not.

There's cheer-oo-chamich everywhere! Are they really from here.. or are they Turkish? I will definitely be asking when I buy some to take home with me. And I'm wondering if the state of "orange" is going to allow me to take home oghi and dried fruits. We'll find out.

New Year's is SUCH a big deal in Armenia. Everyone is running around doing their New Year's shopping, and I can only imagine the average family's festivities that evening. As for my plans for that night, I'm not quite sure, but I think I'll be joining some close friends. :)

My days here are really vacation-like. I wake up when I want, I leave when I want, I sleep when I want... etc. I have to admit it's nice not to have responsibilities. It makes the vacation 10 times better when it's in Armenia... better and of course more interesting.
