Don't you hate it when people are coughing all around you without even covering their mouths? That is what I had to put up with for one straight hour standing in line to get through Passport Control in our so-called improved airport. And why it takes these passport control officers to look at your passport(s) for 15 minutes is beyond me.

I can't believe how clean Toronto is. And things seem more different now than when I visited in January. Simple things like ... I walk into our house and everything seems so odd ... the height of the ceilings, the depth of our kitchen sinks, the fridge we've been using for ages, the height of the toilet seat, etc. Speaking of toilets, the toilet paper in Amsterdam airport and the one they use in my house here SUCKS! I have a roll of Sanitex toilet paper from Armenia ... 2 ply ... kicks BUTT (or rather wipes)! Those days of no toilet paper or rough toilet paper are over!

I won't even mention how depressing the weather is over here.

Anyway, I'm sure there is so much more to tell, but I'm not well. I caught a cold from the coughers at Zvartnots and the FREEZING plane ride from Amsterdam to Toronto. I'll write more when I am feeling better.
