There were so many great things that I experienced in Armenia, that it’s difficult to talk about all of them in a sensible fashion. I’ve chosen to avoid my typical linear travelogues in an attempt find themes. However, this has left a lot of amusing asides out, so I thought I’d share some of the […] The one thing that was absolutely consistent wherever I went in Armenia was that people stared at me. Granted, I’ve been stared at before—usually because I am a freak. Take, for instance, when I had bright orange hair, whilst wearing an orange shirt and an orange boa in Bloomington. I sure attracted a lot of […] Hey Everybody! I just got a report that one of my postcards mailed last Wednesday has already made it to the United Kingdom.

My trip from Vanadzor, Armenia, to here was, thankfully uneventful. I splurged on my trip back, spending 14,000 dram instead of 5,000, just so that I could stop by the Museum of Armenian Letters. For most Armenians, this price differential is huge, but since I am rarely in Armenia, splurging […] Two girls proud to be Armenian in Yerevan on September 21, 2006. Photo Friday Entry (#673) | elmada.com Home It’s an interesting question to ask: What can you say about a country after watching it celebrate its Independence Day ?

Germany lacks an Independence Day that it celebrates […] |
