reappeared<\/a> on ghanaweb.com. This time as an illustration for Sundays African Cup qualifyer with Burundi. A year and a half out of the country they still find it hillarious, the picture of the sweating obruni in the Ghana outfit. So do I….<\/p>\nThe second item is explained here (from an e-mail i sent back to geekcorps HQ):<\/p>\n
I just had an interesting experience here in Yerevan. For whatever reason
\ntonight is party\/night in Yerevan. A large stage has been erected on
\nRepublic Square right in front of Hotel Armenia. So I went to have a look,
\nand there, on the square, what do I see?<\/p>\n
I was hungry, but not really wanting to sit down at some restaurant, so i
\nlooked around for a food stall. there, right on republic square is a truck
\nthat apparently sells food, so I go closer to see what they have on offer.
\nThe logos seem familiar, but from the distance I can’t really make out the
\ndetails. until i get close enough. There’s a yellow and red logo of a
\nsteamboat on white background. Can it be? A image of Ring road pops into
\nmy head, and many a night spent eating pizza, fried chicken or the like.
\nAt first i think it’s a coincidence, but the closer i get the more sure I
\nam. It IS Southern Fried Chicken, right there in Yerevan on Republic
\nSquare. The same logo. The same motto, expounding the glories of
\n“Sizzling” southern fried chicken.<\/p>\n
And just a few hours before I was talking to Arman and a few IESC
\nvolunteers, trying to explain just how huge the difference between Yerevan
\nand Accra is. But it’s not that big, apparently \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
