Armenia and the Kardashians

A dialogue with patient X:

-“Armenia...? Where is that?” 

-“It’s in the Caucasus region, bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Iran to the south, Azerbajian to the east.”

-“...? Oh, so it’s a muslim country.”

-“No, it’s not. It’s actually the world's first Christian country.”

-“...?”

-“It’s where the Kardashian's father is originally from.”

-“Oh really?!”

Armenia is little country still unheard of to many.  In my 2 month stay, I learned a lot about the country and the people. Armenia has a rich history, beautiful mountainous scenery, countless monasteries and very hospitable people.
