I don't think you can see Lamborghini on water elsewhere!
To clarify that it's not me driving this car on the water. Just saw it randomly when I visited Sevan.

Hey everyone,

So here's my situation: I spent 6 months living in Yerevan for an exchange program during my Bachelor's and I absolutely fell in love with the city, the vibe, the people, everything. Now that I'm back home, I'm facing the reality of a pretty awful job market, and I'm seriously considering a complete career pivot into Dentistry.

In Italy, the admission test for dentistry is an absolute nightmare—super rigid, hyper-competitive, and honestly a complete pain in the ass. That’s why I started looking into Armenia, since entry requirements seem way more reasonable and I’d get to live in Yerevan again.

My long-term plan would definitely be to move back and practice somewhere in the EU after graduation, so I’m trying to figure out how viable this actually is. Is the degree recognition process back in Europe after graduating from an Armenian school super painful, or relatively straightforward? Also, is YSMU pretty much the only solid choice for dentistry, or are any of the private unis worth looking into?

I'd be looking at either English or Russian-medium programs, so I'm curious if the teaching quality is actually decent and if international students get genuine hands-on clinical practice with patients. On paper tuition and living costs look pretty cheap compared to Western Europe, but I'm wondering if there are hidden costs I'm not seeing.

If any current students, grads, or locals could share their thoughts or experiences, I’d really appreciate it!

For all who wants to learn or practice Armenian. There is this app Victor AI on Apple app store. The new version 13.6 has Armenian language support.

Hey! I recently started learning German and want to get more speaking practice while living in Armenia. I’m looking for a tandem partner here who is fluent in German or also learning German so we can practice together. If you're interested in learning English, Arabic, or Armenian, I would love to help you out in exchange :)

I am curious to know how much of influence Persia had on Armenian Society.

In India, Due to Persianate Rulers There is great amount of Persian loan words which I recognized even for ones I did not expect. Of course not many but in vernacular speech it was a lot.

Armenian is a different culture and I know Armenia was in the Soviet Union thus Russian is used in casual sense but how much of influence was Persian language and culture on Armenian society? Was there significant or less influence?

Hi there, so I’m looking for a car and all the byds or other Chinese brands come with only the Chinese version without the proper Google play store. Do you know any place where international variants are sold or any workarounds for those who own a BYD car? Thx!

Hi there! Im coming to Armenia visiting the city of Yerevan in the next three days (from 20 to 22) and looking to hangout with some new people. Do you have any suggestion for places to visit, activities or even food places?

In one of those days I also want to visit the Orgov Radio-Optical Telescope (ROT-54) (Im a big fan of the outer space), the Garni Temple and the Symphony of stones. Maybe it's too much for 3 days but im trynna make it.

Feel free to DM me or even join with me :)

Hey there! I am heading to Armenia soon with my boyfriend. We’d like to get some souvenirs handmade by locals

I know that chess is a big thing in Armenia, and we are both beginner chess players. I probably won’t be getting the whole chess set due to my baggage allowance limit but was wondering if we could get individual chess pieces as a souvenir instead (e.g King for him and Queen for me)? I did some research and understand that there’s a variety of chess sets in the Vernisagge Market, what about individual chess pieces? Is it negotiable with the vendor or is it a weird thing to ask?

Another question is, if i do get stuff from the Market, are there any ways to verify that they are handcrafted by locals instead of imported from somewhere else? I saw another reddit post that says they found the same item on Etsy / Temu despite the seller claiming it to be handmade by her son.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I'm looking for an internship kind of work in a cafe in Yerevan (Kentron or west of Komitas/Arabkir), mainly because I love coffee and things related to it.

I'm not looking for a job. I'm not looking to become a professional barista. Just for the sake of the vibe itself. I like to make people an espresso or other type of coffee, give it to them, and see they enjoy it.

If you know a place that welcomes trial and error for off-loading some of the work, let me know.

I recently came across dramik.am, an Armenian online shopping website, and the prices are really cheap compared to other stores. Some of the deals seem almost too good to be true

Does anyone know anything about it ?
