A Night with the Beatles







The Beatles might long be over but they're alive and kicking in Yerevan...

Our group of birthrighters has unofficially adopted the Beatles bar as our hangout-thanks to Gapo. Cheap beer, good music, great decor, lots of cigarette smoke and the most disgusting "martini" I've ever tasted. But hey I hear the beer is good. What more could I ask for, its great!!.

One of the most interesting things I've noticed about Yerevan this time around is the amount of foreigners all around. For example, at beatles there was a group of Punjabi students partying it up. We thought to ourselves, hmmm that's interesting. But then they came up to us and started speaking perfect Armenian- freakyyyy. Turns out they are all university students here. Who would have thought, coming to study in Armenia. Interesting concept...

Let me tell you a little bit about my fellow birthrighters in the pictures. We've got Gapo from Chicago who is full of the Gapo charm. Then there is Armen from LA/Boston who is constantly getting into trouble with all of the ladies.  Then we've got Natasha and Paulene  who are friends from LA and fellow bruins. And we've got Melody, my taxi buddy- we have a mutual dislike for pointless walking.
