My name is Anait and although I was born in Russia, my roots are Armenian. I am now in the UK doing a master's degree in communication.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ICE CREAM? Plain vanilla.
6. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their smile.
7. RED OR PINK? Red!
8. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Chocolate.
9. EYE COLOUR? Hazel.
10. FAVOURITE FOOD? Russian, soups in particular.
11. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings.
12. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Save the last dance.
13. HUGS OR KISSES? Both.

What a welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up this morning and was literally knocked off my feet by your hot embrace (how very Armenian;))

Ed, who said I don't like sushi!? Hot – even more so.

Maral and Yerevant1 (honestly, this can't be your name), I see you are both very attached to each other smile.gif

Sip, you answers left me giggling in a very silly way... Very creative thinking and way of life.

Anahid, something tells me that Ed is not going to be asked twice and will get the first ticket to visit you.

Anoushik thanks for your hearty welcome!

Mosjan, I take it my username went down well with you since you honored me with your welcome wink.gif.


I see many of you are from the States; to me it's like the other end of the planet.

That said, I am very glad to have come across this online forum and met you all!

Anait xxx
