Uniquely Armenian Holiday : Vartavar
It's a day in mid-July where everybody has a huge waterfight basically. It's a blast. We don't celebrate it much here, but I remember how we used to have the time of our lives back in Syria or last summer in Armenia.
At the children's rehab center where we were working, there were 3 soldiers that were doing their service there (working on the fields and other such laboring jobs), with whom we became good friends. Anyways, the eve of Vartavar, I'm pretty sure they held a meeting with their General planning their attack on us because they got all of us SOAKED, without getting a single drop of water on them. I was very proud of our Armed Forces that day.
Later, we went to downtown Yerevan, near Garabi Lij (where Arno Babajanian's statue is now placed) and joined a group of 12-13 year olds who were spraying all the passer-bys and the cars. aaah, good times..
And Happy belated Birthday Jinx!
