    • Don't change more money at the air-port in Yerevan. The rate is very bad. The signs are in Armenian and Russian and no one spoke English when I was there. The sign said 550 and beside it stood 55. It turned out that the 55 was some commission for every dollar you changed. In Yerevan you get between 580 - 586 drams for a dollar.

    The rates above was in 2003. When I left Yerevan in August 2006 the lowest rates in town was 493 drams for a dollar.

     I see this tip from the VT home page. You are so famous! I love to visit Armenia this year or next year. My next trip is Mulu Park in Malaysia next week. Cheers
