When I first moved here, I asked a Polish girl who I met what she liked most about Armenia. She said two things - first how Armenians still respect their elders and second how lovely it is that everyone gives flowers to each other.
As in the picture, these flower stands dot the cityscape. On any give evening you can see many women walking around with flowers that significant others or friends have given to them. Just a couple nights ago I was out with some folks and one of the guys in the group fell back while we were walking through the center of the city only later to return a moment later with roses for all of the women in the group
i wish our culture had both of those things.
