Kristi,
Have fun, and enjoy your life, even in Armenia, with Armenian red wine, or Ararat brandy if you can handle it!!!
Apres, GB. You can count on it!
Kristi,
You made me want to go to Dilijan. You are such a good writer. It’s almost like I breathed the fresh air and tasted and smelled the food you described, especially the cocoa.
You say Armenia has changed, in ways that are superficial and profound. Can you, please, name one positive change that comes to your mind first? Thank you.
Gina,
Thank you, thank you for the kind words.
People smile more, and for barely any reason. And when you ask how people are, they start by saying things are normal, good, or even great, instead of listing the problems.
Most people have water and electricity all the time. There are lodging options all over the country. Tourism options have grown considerably. The quality of products made in Armenia — crafts, wine, food, etc — continues to rise. People are not as apathetic about the present and the future.
Sorry, that was more than one. ;)
Kristi
Kristi:
good to hear before/after observations from an impartial person.
I do know you are not entirely impartial: you have warm feelings for Armenia.
But you would not make things up either, just because you like Armenians.
So your observation of people in general having a more positive outlook on life is quite encouraging.
We all know RoA still has lots of problems. But it is good the hear there is progressive improvement – year in, year out.
(one problem that I am aware of which is entirely internal: apparently there is a nonchalant attitude of residents throwing trash anywhere they please. Hopefully the new generations will not tolerate it for long, assisted with stiff fines like it’s done in California)
Avery – You’re right that I wouldn’t make such things up! Kristi
Well said Kristi!
Please come and visit us on top of our mountain in Yeghegnadzor. It seems that when you write about your visit someplace, AW readers want to go and visit.
I’m sorry not to have visited this time, Antoine!
