Shortly after the visit of George W. Bush, the founder of the Open Society Institute and the Soros Foundations Network George Soros will come to Georgia for three days in the end of May. The most influential man on Democracy in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. One of his efforts is the outstanding website http://www.eurasianet.org/index.shtml
I really hope he is enjoying the atmosphere here in Georgia and uses his time for critical analyses of the developments since Autumn 2003.

In cooperation with our Tushetian friends Sauri, Dato and Schamil we are now able to offer Helicopter flights over the Caucasus Mountains.

Brandenburg and Armenia
The German Bundesland Brandenburg and Armenia have a lot in common:
But ok, Brandenburg has no Lake Sevan and no view to the Ararat. Therefore in Armenia I didn't see any Skinheads.
Images from Wikipedia.de
Chor Wirap with the Ararat in the background
And here another nice board for a Restaurant in Southern Armenia near Vayk.
Brain Teaser: Armenia, Lake Sevan, Beer and Lobster
You went pretty close: The board stands at the Road from Sevan to Noratus a couple of meters beside the the bank of Lake Sevan. Pivo is Russian for Beer. The Lobster speaks for himself. But the Wolf ? Maybe it means, if you are hungry and thursty like a wolf, you get here Lobster and Beer without limits ? As I cant read Armenian, I do not know for sure the Armenian Word at the bottom, I guess its 'Restaurant'.

Visa for Armenia at the Georgian Border Sadakhlo
The road taxes exceeding the costs for Visa
A visa for Armenia up to 21 days can be bought for USD 30 also directly at the Georgian-Armenian Border at Sadakhlo. For the car (Minibus 8 seats) I paid a road tax of 80 USD to the Armenian officials at the entrance to Armenia and about 22 USD at the exit of Armenia, also to the Armenian officials. (The car is registred in Georgia.)
So be patient to keep some money in your pocket when leaving Armenia.
