I've Moved.... so "move" me :)
It's already been a month since I moved to Armenia. :) :::Cough, cough---Raff, you need to move me over::: he he he
Since I've arrived, it's actually felt like I never even left. The first week or so I was still adjusting, and now that it's been a month, I'm getting kind of antsy -- mainly about not having a job yet. I've sent my resume to any prospective job I've seen on careercenter.am and I've had one interview, so far. I don't think it's the fact that I don't have a paying job, it's that I'm not used to not having anything to do all day-- that by itself is frustrating.
Other than that, it was GREAT spending Easter here. I went to my favorite church in Mughni for badarak, then we went to Kuchak (Davit's village) where we played with and ate eggs all day. I also got to experience April 24 in Armenia for the first time. I went to the march ("Chaheroo Yert") on the 23rd and was impressed with the amount of people who had come to participate, but unfortunately I felt like it could've been organized a little better. From where I was in the crowd, it felt like the youth around me were not aware of the "cause". The next day, I went to Dzidzernagapert around noon... in the snow. It was an incredible experience, because for soooo many years I had seen pictures of all those flowers around the fire, I'd even seen it on TV, and yet--- it was completely different to actually be there and place my own flowers on top of the thousands of others.
During this month, I've also had the great fortune of needing dental work. Let me just say, that my dentist (who is my fiance's friend) is only a couple of years older than me, but did such a superb job on my root canal, that I am willingly going back for more dental work tomorrow. :) Also, the day I was having my root canal done, the Hanrapetutyun party was giving a concert just one block away.. and I got to hear singers like Leyla Saribekyan and Arsen Safaryan live in concert while getting a root canal...... only in Armenia :)
I'm going to keep this blog short, because I can assure you... I have taken notes on what I'd like to blog about as a repat.... elections being a main item on that list. Before I go though, let me just say something about the elections that I found totally hysterical--- The other night, I was watching an interview with Gagik Dzarukyan (Dodi Gago) who is the chair of Parkavaj Hayasdan (a new political party he created)... and aside from the fact that the man was sitting there in a maroon silk shirt, legs stretched open as if he's sitting on his cousin's patio, lots of hair plugs - which I'm sure he paid lots of laundered money for... he kept referring to himself in the 3rd person!!! I dunno... it totally "tickled" me, because he kept saying, "People are saying, Dzarukyan is this and that... --- Dzarukyan has created this and that"... etc. lol
More to come...
