Anahid Ovanessoff's blog

Because of a sort of an off week, with the American Independence Day being on Monday and then Armenian Constitution Day on Tuesday, it is Wednesday and it is only my third FULL day of my internship! Today started off a little shaky since I was SO tired and all, not to be helped by the power outage which forced me to take a shower in the dark!

It’s really too bad that the economy in Armenia is so poor, because aside from that, I really think I would enjoy living here. Like everywhere else, Armenia has its good and bad points… but the good aspects of it have been shining extra brightly for me this past week. The air is clean, the water and food taste great, and there really isn’t too much about this country that is extravagant (extravagance being a bad thing in my opinion if it is overindulged)… the only extravagant places are those that cater to Americans.

Parev Dzez! Anahid here! It’s been a week since we've been in Yerevan, and we have already gotten to experience so much!
