View from Yerevan Over the weekend I received a request from a professional translation agency to use one of my photos out of my Flickr stream on their new website. Unfortunately my initial thought was that the professional translating firm should work on improving their English before they work on their website. I wouldn’t […] I suppose that most of you probably are not following the latest news from Armenia, but I have been. After the recent election, which many claim to have been rigged, protests in the streets have turned violent—and when I saw a report that 8 people had died as a result, I was worried.

After that I am not sure what my plans are, probably to visit museums in the city center. Yesterday I mailed 30 postcards (9,000 dram) to points in Europe and North […] Hi Everybody! I’m alive and in Yerevan. I have a lot to say, but I am tired and I do not wish to spend too much time on the computer. In fact, the only thing I want to do on the computer is check my email, but I cannot since for some reason secured connections […] So, I am leaving Weimar today, headed for Armenia and its beautiful scenery. Naturally, I am packing—using a friend’s backpack since I’ve heard its not a wise idea to use a suitcase since the minibuses (aka minivans) that one takes from city to city does not have storage, so I might need to keep it […] |
