As I know paranoia runs in the viscous vessels of my family I think I should write a email letting you all know that there is NO war in Armenia! The war is only limited to certain parts of Georgia, far away from Yerevan.
Today we went to Lake Sevan. I was expecting a beach and instead found a collar of earth around a large body of water. The water was nice though :) but didn't go in. The lake is almost 2,000 metres above sea level, hence very cold.
Tomorrow night (technically Wednesday morning, at 4am) we will fly to Berlin (= cheapest flight). We'll stay there for a couple of days before returning to Switzerland.
