General Tips: Yerevan, downtown

  • Favorite Thing: Our hotel, the Ani Hotel, was not far from the Opera Square. Even to the former Lenin Square and Vernissage it was an easy walking distance.

    So we walked a lot in Yerevan downtown. Yerevan lies in an earthquake area. They told us there could be several small shocks a day. Most of the time you don't notice it, when you are walking or travelling in the bus or car. But I felt some tiny shocks early in the morning in the hotelroom.

    Fondest Memory: People in the street asked my friend 'Is she an artist ?', because of the colourful trousers I was wearing. 'No', he said, 'she is an architect'. 'Sorry, sorry', was the answer. We don't know exactly why, but it was a funny conversation anyway.

  • Favorite Thing: When we were in Yerevan it was a very rainy period. We went to a viewpoint, from where you can normally see the Ararat.

    And as we allready thought it was too cloudy to see much. Anyhow we went to the viewpoint in the hope to see a glimpse of the Ararat. The result you can see at the picture. No Ararat today !

     Very interesting. Recently was reading about the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1917, so it sparked some interest in the region and country.
