Life in Armenia

Re: Armenia

I must note the relationship between the unemployment rate and the overall Armenian economy is fairly peculiar seeing how unemployment was its best during the horrid 2008-11 stretch at the time of the Global Collapse.

And unlike Armenia there isn't a 2-3X Diaspora to support those in the country living through unemployment. The immigration situation is out of control in Greece. How much of the hundreds of millions of Afghanis, Pakis and Arabs can 10 million Greeks be expected to hold.

Re: Life in Armenia

Bro I didnt know you were signing in from Greece. Welcome to the wonderful EU you asked for it now deal with it. I feel bad for you but I laugh in the face of any Armenian that is stupid enough to want EU membership. I say to them forget about England, Germany and France and take a good loooooooooooooong look at Greece, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria I tell them. As bad a Greece is today with everything like German takeover, unemployment, immigration and corruption, it will be a million times worst for us if Armenia joins EU.

-------- you asked for it, now deal with it -----------
Not everyone is FORTUNATE to have the options of the privileged.
You do not know what Ur Mistakes options were that led him to where he is today.
A rather callaced and inconsiderate thing to say to someone you don't know.
After being attacked repeatedly by how many and then weakened and overran by the seljuks, then culminating in 1915/1923 and continuing in one form or fashion to this day. Many of YOUR countrymen have been left in a compromised position NOT of their choosing.
Words like you spoke I expect from the george bushes of this world. Of course his daddy could cover his a$s since day one.
--------- there but for fortune stands you or I ---------

Has anybody come across this type of arrangement in Armenia?
Apparently quite common in ex Soviet Union and beyond.
At first I thought it was black propaganda, it seems not .....

Armenian President Among Health Tourists in Korea

http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2014/01/24/2014012401684.html

Korea's booming medical tourism industry has for the first time attracted a foreign head of state as the Armenian president had rejuvenation treatment here recently.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was driven by a convoy of black sedans to Chaum Center in Gangnam on Jan. 9 led by a police escort. Chaum is a rejuvenation clinic run by CHA Health Systems.

Accompanying Sargsyan were the ex-president of a former Soviet satellite nation and a Russian tycoon from Armenia. The tycoon had also been part of Russian President Vladimir Putin's entourage on his state visit last year and experienced the clinic's service at the time.

The group visited Chaum every day during their weeklong stay here and had treatment including stem cell therapy, spa and anti-aging therapy, body polishes and massages and weight-control programs.

Clinic staff say Sargsyan was escorted by police and the National Intelligence Service during his stay.
The group paid a total of W200 million (US$1=W1,076) for their treatment and left on Jan. 17.

Since opening in 2010, Chaum has drawn many rich people from around the world who come to Seoul in their private jets. Among them were Chinese and Canadian business tycoons, the prime minister of Kazakhstan and Saudi and UAE royalty.

The reasons for medical tourism are diversifying. Recently, former Korean national soccer coach Guus Hiddink visited a hospital in Seoul to undergo knee surgery.

Last year, more than 200,000 foreigners are estimated to have visited Korea for medical treatment. The Health Ministry expects the number of medical tourists to reach 1 million in 2020.

I have known a number of Korean nationals in my lifetime.
100% have been trim of body with no excessive fat bulges.
I count a couple of these people as personal friends. Their honesty & consideration of others has been exemlory.
A rather decent & kind folk.
Personally know well 4 who are older than I (64+) that looked surprisingly youthful.
Although I don't know about above posts contents, I can say this ... The Korean people's modesty in amount of food consumed per meal & vegetable intact is to be admired.
Also, these people have a good intellect in my opinion.
Definitely worth considering this people's thoughts on health matters IMO.
