It's all Cabaret!

It was a full weekend from receiving a French delegation at work to celebrating 2 wonderful friends’ wedding anniversary. The wife is a distant cousin with whom I grew up in Canada and the husband is a great guy Lara and I had met at he university ASA. They have been here for several months and would really like to find a decent job (or two) to stay or even come back for. They will be returning soon. I will miss them a lot since they have been our neighbors for some two months and we have spent lots of time together. They have a baby a few months older than Vayk. They are so cute together.

Last night we had a typical “hayastanstsi” celebration on Proshyan street’s “Ceasar’s Palace”. Food was good – khorovadz, kyabab and Areni. Live Armenian music entertained us all night. We danced – it was nice evening.

Today we attended one of the best shows of the Chamber theatre “Cabaret”. This show is a must see. You do not need to understand Armenian to attend. It is full of light humor and fun songs and skits. This theatre is one of the oldest so called alternative and progressive artistic venues. I for one have seen the Cabaret 8 times – and will return for more.
