First Day In Armenia | Exploring With A Local Armenian

[@anahitpetrosyan1749]

Thank you very much for the video. I am an Armenian and I haven't been neither in Goshavank nor in Haghartsin. It is very touching to watch it. I'd like to add that Mkhitar Gosh (1120-1213) is a great Armenian medieval thinker, writer, historian, teacher, law maker. He formed the first Armenian Law Book in 1184. He is the architect of this monastery as well. Thank you again and good luck!

4:00 He was saying that after he got drafted into the Soviet army, his battalion was stationed in Mongolia. He was a military musician there.

Beautiful country! Happy to see you have a friend to share the experience it with! Ty for the video! And sharing! God Bless

Armenia looks nice, I like the mountains

[@marcopolo2395]

Dude you are everywhere.

[@olbiomoiros]

Marco Polo yeah right? He/she must have seen all videos available in KZbin.

[@HiHowAreYouuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

The man in the car said he was a soldier in Mongolia. I’m assuming he was stationed there as a soviet soldier.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, that explains it.

[@yuriykorotkevych8838]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos He also said he was a musician when serving in the army, he played trumpet

[@_____J______]

Yeah and he played with clarinet in Ulaanbataar, Mongolia. Probably in red army orchestra

[@Worldofourown2024]

Yep, soldat is a familiar term for soldier. I dunno where I've seen and heard this, but knew he was talking about his military service as a young man.

They are done in tufa stone.

[@silvaemilyanwhite]

You’re very brave for having traveled alone where not much English is spoken. I love Dilijan. The weather in the video looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to go back and experience all that with my American husband and children...be their tour guide. Thanks for sharing some of the beauty of Armenia.

[@djdeviantjehuty5066]

Wow, I will be in Armenia in next few days, wish we can meet there

[@voxley19]

Its great that you're in Armenia. I'm really looking forward to seeing Yerevan.

[@brandonsanders9674]

@Rufet Resulzade stop spreading propaganda and it’s a good place not like your country massacring Armenians at 1988 in Baku and other cities and towns

The churches are amazing. It reminds me of Celtic designs. Wow, this was incredible.

[@adavtyan247]

He also showed you patios on the way. Saying that they are great for barbecuing and picnicking. Very happy you are visiting my homeland.

Earthy, biblical kind of feel. Fascinating! I would like to see it. I like the wood and the stone.

[@Linastx]

13:54 I remember being at the tree when I was little since I always visited my grandparents in the summer

Excellent choice of music. One of the reasons I love your channel, you use this more tradicional local music instead of the modern electronic computer-generated pop music most travel vloggers are using nowadays. Thanks!

[@libbyjones552]

Awesome video Gabriel!. So much history here. The Monasteries are still beautiful. Loved the mountains of Armenia. Very nice people. The food looked very good. Thank you for taking us along! Take care Gabriel. 🍁😊🍁

gabriel, can you list your videos in order as when one finishes the pop ups appear and you are in a different country. please advise as i love your videos. x

[@Tig510Tig]

Caucasus region is very unique as it blends European and Near Eastern cultures together due to its geographical location. Neither Europe nor fully Asian, it has a flavor of its own and took thousands of years to evolve. 👍🏻

[@Sain8music]

I don’t know I would say Armenia and Georgia are very European

[@AMAETV]

So cool to see Armenia! And glad you found a friend to experience it with. That dish at the end reminds me of something my mom made- she called it 3 cheese chicken bake 😆It was probably not nearly as elaborate with the seasonings.

[@geographer1976]

That dinner looked delicious. It would be good if you had captured a few seconds of the restaurant sign or menu to document the location.

[@eleniasimop]

You may say it's on the border of Asia and Europe. Culture is surely European. The Caucasian republics isn't "middle East" , they are just on Caucasus, the area between Black sea and Caspian sea. In general people call "middle East" the countries south/southeast from Turkey.

[@holyfox94]

I would love to move over there/ the East someday. People there still seem to have a healthy common sense whilst in Germany I have to slalom through Demonstrations. Demonstrations for Climate, pro Kurds, anti Kurds, pro migration, anti migration, save the bees, save the farmers,.... Western Europe is getting divided by political views like in the U.S. .

[@BillKing3456]

Cool comment and I love your use of the word 'slalom.' Great choice. Yeah, I just read in dw.com where the Berlin Christian Democrats have proposed that there be a Commissioner of Loneliness cuz Berlin is supposedly the 'Capital of Loneliness' .... Maybe loneliness and common sense are linked, I dunno .... I know War and the Environment are - War is definitely not good for the Environment!, somebody ought to have on a protest sign at the next demonstration .... All's I know is Berlin needs to just finish their new airport that's God knows is how late and how over budget (I'd expect that in the U.S. but this is Germany?) .... Also read where environmentalists are saying there should be speed limits on the Autobahn (no comment - that's a uniquely German thing) .... At least in the past some people have gotten involved in demonstrations and such in order to meet people, a way of combating loneliness .... By the way, historically the East has been no panacea, to put it lightly, when it comes to common sense and getting along with the neighbors .... Well, to sum it all up, our erstwhile traveler who slaloms around potential obstacles, Gabe, appears to be a good example of getting along with his neighbors, using common sense a good portion of the time and 'Being Alone without Being Lonely,' well maybe not 100% of the time, but he's better than most. At least I think he is.
