It's based on an old pagan holiday to celebrate the waters of Armenia, where everyone gets massive buckets of water and tries to soak everyone else. Apparently to cleanse their sins. As a result I didn't bring my camera along to the meeting today, which went quite well (we were introducing more newies to AIESEC).
After we had to escort the projector through the streets around the university, with about four of us acting as shield for the guy holding it and two more running ahead to check for people hiding around the corners.
We managed to get back to the office in one piece and headed out for lunch. While we were waiting to cross the road a car with blacked out windows went past and some kid with a super soaker totally drive-byed us.
After grabbing some lunch me and few AIESECers decided to have a water fight, before drying out in the sun outside the university. In the evening I went off to the Botanical Garden with a couple of other AIESEC people.
In the days of the Soviet Union it used to be one of the nicest gardens in the USSR, but since then it has gone downhill a bit. There were a few massive greenhouses with panes of glass missing, and the plants growing out of the windows. It was a bit Jurassic Park-y, especially as hardly anyone was there.
We played Frisbee in a clearing in the woods with some people from the English club (a place where they go and practice their English by talking about things). After that we went back to the office, getting soaked again on the way.
