Armenian Life with Mitch
Australia
Приєднався 29 тра 2015
Hi everyone and welcome to our channel. I'm Mitch, a 66yr old Australian man married to my Armenian wife, Mrs Mitch (Sonia); she's around the same age.😀
We've been living in Armenian since 2004 and our videos focus on what it's like to live in this beautiful country. We are Christians who are passionate about showing the diaspora and the world the reality of living in Armenia.
We want to show you what Armenian businesses and educational facilities are doing to make Armenia a great place to live...but we will always try our best to show you the negatives also and the challenges we face.
Our heart always leads us to regional Armenia, so we want to continue showing you aspects of the lives of local people living in very basic conditions and those people and organisations who are trying to help them.
We hope and pray that all of our videos will be to the glory of God and be of some help to the nation of Armenia and Artsahk.🇦🇲
Thank you so much for you support and may God bless you all🙏

ARMENIAN LIFE: Yerevan: Nork Maresh District
From Orbeli Street in Yerevan, I drive to my future workplace: The Anania Shirakatsi University of International Relations in Nork Marash, and then take you on a walk around the neighborhood.
As of the 13th of August, I will take up a position at this university (in conjunction with the Royal Victorian University Foundation), as the Head of International Student Relations. I am honored to have been given this opportunity to help bring more local and international students to this prestigious university in Armenia.
I point out different buildings and places of interest in Nork Marsh, which is a very surprising part of Yerevan that I'd never visited before.

I'm planning to visit armenia and want to meet you

Hi mitch i like your vlog
Veri nice

Ketchup on eggs...something an Armenian wouldn't do lol
@TheFightFoo...well, everyone has their weaknesses😂
No offense, Mitch, but you sound like you don't know what you're talking about. If you're not anti-government in Armenia, then you're anti-Armenia. Pashinyan is the one who is evil, not those trying to get him out.
@TheFightFoo...Anti-government and anti-Armenian I'm definitely not...but you're free to voice your opinion. Thank you for your comment.
Great videos thanks can’t wait to get my travel passport to visit Armenia 🇦🇲🇺🇸❤️
@JESUSISGOD-y4d...Thanks...and Armenia is waiting for you🙏
Thanks for little tours to the marash ( Մարաշ ) Marash is totally different now. When I use to live in Yerevan marash has no buildings it was only one or two floors houses and that church is new ,my time no church in marash. It really good place to live in old nork ( հին նորք ու մարաշ ) and marash. The only marash has problem at winter ❄️ when it snow if they don’t open the road quickly cars having big problem to go specially marash. You have great day sir. You may like to travel to Erebuni,there is museum also there.
where is the police to organize the traffic bottleneck...
@UserUnkown-do1ji...actually, all it would require is an adjustment to the traffic light duration during peak times. Sometimes the traffic police make the situation worse...but at least their presence might stop the lane-cheaters!
Ваша супруга прекрасно разговаривает и на русском языке, и на армянском , и на английском языках, она могла бы вас немного научить русскому языку. Русский с английским похожи, и ему проще научиться, чем армянскому. А в Армении многие люди понимают русский язык, и прекрасно на нем говорят. Мне довелось и учиться, и работать со многими армянами , и впечатления только положительные. С уважением, Сергей Алексеев.

Many congratulations on your New job, the perfect position for you. A lovely informative video of an area I haven't been to. Very sad that the beautiful church was empty, Mitch it's a similar story in the UK too. Loved joining you and Sonia for breakfast again, looking forward to your next video Thank you.
Wonderful news! God is good. Thank you for the tour through Nork Marsh, as well. My wish and prayer is that the churches are filled to capacity on Sunday mornings! Your breakfast meal looked fantastic. Yum!

U building … For international relations… Consulte of Canada by Canadian standards … This area lacks urban planning, missing streets … public sidewalks, boulevards, medians, safety … This can’t be called a city! We lost trust in ourselves, the Church forgot its mission.
@MrArmenianDream...I agree with you regarding urban planning, but if you saw this area 10 years ago, you'd die of a heart attack! We are a small nation facing enormous difficulties, so we need experts from the diaspora and abroad to come and help us.🙏
Congratulations on your new job. We need more people like you and Mrs Mitch in Armenian. My husband and I enjoy watching your videos on your UA-cam channel. Thank you!
@elmonnazari3057...thank you so much, and I agree that we need good people to return to the homeland to help our country grow. Mrs Mitch and I are no one special, we simply try to do our best for Armenia🙏
What are these pipes outside the buildings? Looks like an afterthought.

Hi Bedros-Jan. Great that you have a job now with the university. 🙏 and it all works out. Thanks for the tour and was very surprised with the empty church service.

Beautiful coking 😋
@user-nh6tu6pm5o...thank you...Mrs Mitch will love to hear that🙏
It is sad that Armenia may not be as "Christ centered" as it used to be... or do they go to more Prodistant churches?
@dianakenderian...Hi Diana Jan, thanks for your comment. No, I think it's more the case of apathy towards the church and Christianity in general. Most Armenians are content to go to the church for baptisms and marriages and to light candles. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that if they go in the true spirit of our faith. Biblical teaching teaching is what is lacking, and also a genuine desire to follow Our Lord's teachings.
@@ArmenianLifewithMitch I will pray for revival of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Thank you for your dedication!! God's blessings to you and your wonderful wife!! It is a joy to see your videos!!

Hi Mitch, as always enjoyed watching your videos! I live in California only visited Armenia twice yet I feel homesick for my motherland. Areni is great. We spent some time at the pool complex on our way to Kapan. That part of Armenia is beautiful.
@scottsdaletour...thanks so much, your comments are always insightful and encouraging. I've never been to Kapan, so, God willing, we will visit one day.🙏
Mr. Mitch--- I have questions ( you think around 75000$ --can buy one bedroom apartment yervan,,,,?
@rubia484...definitely! However, you'll have to look in districts like Avan, Malata Sebastia, Nor Nork, Arabkir, Davitashen, and Nork Maresh. These would be my picks, and you'll find them in various stages of repair. Search on www.list.am/category/60 ... then select the locations I suggested (I think they only allow 4 selections at a time, but you'll work it out). Enter your maximum price in USD, select one bedroom, or 2 rooms (because that's the common terminology for one bedroom here). You'll want at least a partial renovation and a good heating unit (often called a Baxi). I hope that helps a bit.🙏 Also, try to find an apartment in a stone (Tufa) building on the 2nd or 3rd level.
@rubia484...Yes you can...but in US dollars, not AUD
Thank you Mitch ……
Hello Mr. Mitch --- from 🇦🇺
@rubia484...Oh wow, that's great... Which state?
What a beautiful place to visit and stay. Thanks for sharing
@@aterjanian1 ... you're most welcom🙏
Thanks for help the people who fled their historical land in Artsakh, but I wonder, where the is Armenian government and they did to these people, Pashin and his friends seem don't care about these people, I read in the news that Pashin and his friends in the government receive funds from EU to support the Artsakj people
@UserUnkown-do1ji .... thanks for your comment. Rather than get involved in political commentary, I find the best thing for us to do, is to pray for our country. I ask God to give our leaders godly wisdom to govern Armenia in a righteous, efficient, and effective manner. I ask that He protect our borders, guard our brave soldiers from harm, and force our enemies away. Finally, I ask that He help all Armenians return to their Christian roots and truly follow their Lord God and Heavenly Father.🙏
I will be returning to live in Armenia
Mitch - Thank you for your videos. I am in Armenia now and would love to meet up with you and Mrs. Mitch. What is the best way to reach you?
@from-the-land-of-noah...The problem is more than likely with the device you're using. Smartphones usually will not give you access to my email via the "About" section so you need to access via a laptop or desktop. It will be nice to meet you, so I'll wait to hear from you🙏
