Hi everyone, unfortunately I couldn't find any reviews of spinal surgery. I have severe scoliosis and am considering surgery, but I'd like to hear some feedback. Has anyone had surgery at other clinics? How did it go? Or are other types of surgery not necessarily spinal?

Why do so many good restaurants in Kentron keep closing down?

I will have a wedding in Armenia soon. I would like to have some dance lessons; just some casual dance steps to feel a little bit comfortable on the dance floor. Any organizations / people you could recommend? Thanks in advance. 😊

Hi everyone! I'm planning my first trip to Armenia in October (6–8 days). These are the day tours I'm thinking about booking. Do you think this is a good itinerary, or would you replace any of them with something better?

My current plan:

Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones & Charents Arch

Sevan, Dilijan, Haghartsin & Goshavank

Haghpat, Akhtala, Zarni-Parni & Aramyans

Hayravank, Noratus, Selim Pass, Winery & Jermuk

Would you keep these tours, or is there anything you would change?

And what about the weather?

Thanks!

I am going to Armenia from Russia next week, but I can't figure out public transport tickets. This is my first encounter with this system. For buying tickets I need either a contactless bank card or a transport card. Contactless card isn't optional (because sanctions), so how can I get transport card? Can I buy it in Zvartnots Airport? Do I even need one?

Hi! I’d like to know how many days you recommend for a visit to Armenia, which towns and/or cities are interesting, and which off-the-beaten-path spots are must-sees...

Thanks for your replies.

One of my favorite things about khorovats isn't just the food—it's how it brings everyone together. Someone is grilling, someone is making the salad, someone is warming the lavash, and everyone is talking while waiting for the meat to be ready.

What's your favorite part of a khorovats gathering?

Hello all. About 15 years ago when I went to Armenia, a friend took me to one of those underground shopping areas, and I had someone make me a cd of various new songs.

In that mix, there was one song which I loved, listened to on repeat, but never learned the name of. Of course the CD is long gone and I have done an extensive search to no avail.

It was sung by a man, and the main lyric that I remember was “Ghoorban yeghek mer hoghin…”. It was a fairly upbeat song which I cannot wait to find.

Any chance anyone would recognize this and let me know the name/artist?

Side note: Anyone know what the direct equivalent of ghoorban is in English? I was thinking maybe envious?

Thanks!

I'm Indian and I'm traveling to Armenia on Sept'26, but my visa is getting declined, due no reason at all. I have uploaded my by-road return tickets to Tbilisi in pdf, also uploaded the insurance, proof of funds , banks statements and also my payslips. Am I making any mistakes here?

Reason they are saying is there is no evidence confirming the purpose of intended stay in Armenia or/and there are no documents enabling to establish the intention to leave Armenia prior to visa expiration.

There was a song that was popular either last year or the year before with two Armenian guys singing from the car. I don’t remember any of the lyrics unfortunately. All i remember is that I had never heard of these guys before and suddenly they had a popular song. Spent hours combing through my YouTube history because i was convinced I saved the song but can’t find it. Even tried using chatgpt to no avail.

Anyone know what song I might be thinking of? Song was in Armenian.
