당일치기로 여행한다고? 아르메니아 원데이투어｜국경 넘어 만난 특별한 인연 ▶아르메니아◀

Hi everyone, this is Sang-i. It’s just a little before 6:30 AM. In today’s video, we’re going from Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, to Armenia. Crossing the Caucasus Mountains along the way. Many people travel to visit the three countries of the Caucasus. Today, I’ll be taking a one-day tour to Armenia. That way, I’ll visit Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia— the three countries of the Caucasus. Let’s get a quick taste of Armenia in just one day. (I arrived first and I’m waiting now) April really is quite cold. The current temperature is 9°C. (The Armenia expedition team) I feel super awkward right now. Today I booked an English-speaking tour. Apparently, there are seven people in total. (Double-checking if I have my passport) (A Korean-American, two Brits, one Indian, and two Russians— this is our Armenia expedition team!) We fueled up the car and then set off for Armenia again. We’re heading to Hayastan first. In Armenian, they call their country Hayastan (Հայաստան, Hayastan). We’ve arrived at the border. I’ll greet you again after we cross into Armenia. Wow, this is so cool. We went through immigration, and there’s a duty-free shop in the middle. If you want to shop at the duty-free, you can do it here. We just left Georgia and now we’re entering Armenia. We crossed into Armenia and went straight to a supermarket nearby. Whoa, that was tougher than I expected! It turned out entering Armenia after Azerbaijan was a bit more complicated. After visiting Azerbaijan, they asked a lot of questions at Armenia’s border. “Why did you go to Azerbaijan? What were you doing there?” I told them I went on a tour. Since I’m here on a one-day tour with a travel agency, our guide helped me a lot by speaking Russian on my behalf. Even with their help, they still asked for the guide’s name and their contact information. The immigration process took nearly 10 minutes. Thankfully, we got through without any issues. In the end, everything went smoothly. Thankfully, we got through without any issues. If you speak a little English, you shouldn’t face any big problems crossing. It seems like foreigners don’t have serious issues, but they do ask a lot of questions. It can take a little while. So keep that in mind when you’re crossing. Anyway, we’ve arrived safely here. I’m going to enjoy this one-day tour. We’ve arrived at the first stop in Armenia. This place is called Haghpat Monastery. The carvings on the walls are really beautiful. (Entering the inside of the monastery) Life really is all about prayer. Ah, someone even lit the candles for us. I’ll take a moment to pray here as well. (The guide kindly checks on a team member who fell behind) They said this side was heavily damaged by an earthquake. That’s why so many parts are broken and the paint has fallen off. (Observing up close) Originally, there’s a stone in the back and the mural was attached to the front. But much of it was damaged because of the earthquakes. Wow, it’s really cold though! The view here is incredible. When we came up to the monastery earlier, the road was extremely winding. We’re now at an altitude of 1,002 meters. The scenery here is just stunning. It seems like this is usually a popular spot for tourists, but today it’s quiet—maybe because of the cold weather or it’s off-season. It’s so peaceful here. It feels like we have the whole place to ourselves, which is amazing. Could you share your channel with me? Sorry? Please tell me your channel later. I love watching YouTube too. (It was nice meeting you, Charlie!) Let me give you a little more explanation.

This is Haghpat Monastery. It’s considered a masterpiece of medieval Armenian monasteries. It’s truly an incredible site. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. Even just walking around briefly, you can see how beautiful and interesting it is. (The expedition moves on to another place) (Taking a 10-minute break) I’ve just arrived in a place called Dilijan. This place is known as the “Switzerland of Armenia.” NG They say this area is often referred to as the “Switzerland of Armenia.” Earlier at 1,000 meters, I was already shivering, and now we’re at 1,200 meters. On the way here, the elevation kept showing, and I checked… we reached as high as 1,850 meters! I felt like I was reaching the highest altitude of my life by car. Until now, Hallasan was the highest place I’d ever climbed. (About to break that record today) Ah, this park is so well-maintained. It feels like a small, peaceful town. I need to have a Coke. Pepsi Zero. (200 dram, about 720 KRW or 0.5 USD) Yeah, I’ll have a Coke Zero. You can really feel the fresh air up here at this altitude. The air feels great. (Hopped in quickly because people were waiting) We’ve arrived at the restaurant for lunch. They provide the meal here, right? Yes, I think that’s how it works. We’ve come to the food court. A food court. Wow, this looks so good. Skewers. (Mouthwatering visuals) Wow, that really looks delicious. It’s like a buffet where you can choose and take whatever you want. (Like a Korean highway rest stop buffet style) I don’t know what to eat. Can you recommend me some Armenian food? (As expected, the guide is so kind) I’ll have some rice and chicken cutlet for the first time in a while. Lately, I’ve only been eating bread. Now I’m craving rice. There’s also a buffet section inside. (350 dram per 100 grams, about 1,250 KRW) This food court is actually pretty nice. Looks like we each pay for our own meal here. Oh, really? Then I’ll pay for everyone. No, it’s okay. Ah, I met some Koreans here too. During the tour, I met another Korean brother who even treated me to lunch. Wow, thank you so much for the amazing meal. (The warmth of Koreans sharing food) Did you live in Korea before moving to the U.S.? Or… Yeah, I moved after finishing middle school. When I first arrived in the U.S., I saw people floating on water. (Bonding over surfing stories) I even have a room full of surfboards. Wow, that’s a lot! I also enjoy surfing, last year I went to Bali. But there were so many beginners there… it was hard to surf with all the crowds. Yeah, it’s dangerous when there are too many beginners. In the U.S., they call them “newbies.” Yeah, they say “newbies” and people complain about them. They tell them to go ride the small waves over there. “Newbie” is an English word? We use that word a lot in Korea too. Yeah, “newbie” means… a beginner, someone new. That was such a great meal. I’ll see you in a bit. I thought it was just a food court, but… there’s actually a huge bakery here too. A bakery factory. It really feels like a Korean highway rest stop. It looks delicious! I think they’re baking bread here. Tonir (Թոնիր), a traditional Armenian clay oven shaped like a jar. Suddenly there are so many people now. I guess it’s because it’s lunchtime. It’s really crowded now. Fresh fruit juice. I was actually a bit worried about this tour at first. But the best thing is, I met… a Korean brother who speaks my language and joined the tour with me. I ask him things along the way sometimes. And talking with him has been a big help. Thanks to him, I feel like… I’ll be able to enjoy the Armenia tour more comfortably. Time for a quick vending machine coffee. Enjoying a relaxing coffee moment in Armenia. Actually, I planned my Armenia trip quite suddenly. But today, on this date… with these people… I’ve met great people and feel really happy about it. I think traveling is always like this. Nothing goes exactly as planned… things just flow naturally. But when you meet unexpected good people… you can travel happily, and that’s what makes it special. (Adding a touch of emotion to the coffee) I had a great meal, and now we’re heading to the next spot. Tours are definitely very convenient. (Lake Sevan) I’ve arrived at Lake Sevan now. This is one of the most popular tourist spots even among Armenians themselves. (Souvenir shop seen on the way up) Wow… It’s really beautiful. (Monastery on the Sevan Peninsula) I’m here now at Lake Sevan. As expected from such a famous destination in Armenia, there are tons of people here. Also, the elevation of the lake itself is over 1,950 meters. We’re in a high-altitude area right now. That’s why it’s also called “the Pearl of the Highlands.” Even my Apple Watch says it’s 1,944 meters. Since it’s a lake, the water is really calm, but I think it would look even prettier if you could see a little farther out. The rain is starting to come down harder, but I still feel like enjoying the view even in the rain. Seriously, if you ever come to Armenia, this is definitely a place you have to visit. There’s even a monastery sitting right on Lake Sevan. In Armenia, there are tons of monasteries and churches. That’s because around the 3rd century, Armenians adopted Christianity as their state religion. They are said to be the first country in the world to make Christianity their national religion, and they are very proud of it. Since I’ve come all the way here, I’ve got to climb up to the highest point. It looks like there’s an altar at the top, like on Mt. Cheonggwan. Normally, it wouldn’t be this hard to climb, but since we’re at a high altitude, I feel like there’s less oxygen. (Symptoms of mild altitude sickness at 2,000m) (Made it) Ah, I can’t go any higher. There’s horseback riding and plenty of other activities here. Hello! Since I came all the way here, I bought this. (Thinking they’re probably waiting for me, so I run quickly) Thank you. (Thank you) Thank you. (Спасибо) (The only Russian word I know) (One hour later) I woke up and… we’ve arrived at the next destination. (Still half asleep) It’s right here. We got off at the back, so I’ll walk around to the front. Mother Armenia. I almost said Georgia… but it’s Mother Armenia. I think they call it the Mother of Armenia. I think they call it the Mother of Armenia. (Still not fully awake) Yep! Mother Armenia. The statue was built in 1967. Originally, there was a statue of Stalin here, but it was later replaced with Mother Armenia. And there’s also an eternal flame, right? Whew, I can smell the gas. Let me show you the view. Wow, it’s so beautiful. Up close, you can see Yerevan Avenue, and from here, you get a panoramic view of the entire city. I can even see the airport in the distance. The airport runway. I took a nap, and now we’ve finished the third stop. (A 3-minute drive) From the goddess statue earlier, we came to a spot nearby. This is a revolutionary tower built to commemorate 50 years of Armenian socialism. It’s called the Revolution Tower. The top is shaped like a leaf, so locals just call it the “Leaf Tower.” On really clear days, they say you can even see Mount Ararat, but I can’t see it today. That’s a little disappointing. Oh, there’s also a path that leads down below. The view from down here is beautiful too. The roof structure gives a sense of stability, and the scenery you see from here is stunning. There’s a path leading even farther down. It’s wet from the rain, so I need to be careful. It was pouring earlier, but now the rain has stopped, and it’s amazing. The sun is even shining now. Wow, how far does this path go? The path going down with the view looks so beautiful. With the open horizon in front of me, it feels so refreshing. (Suddenly, a park appears) Right ahead is what they call Freedom Square. Here and there, there are small sections with different themes, like little plazas scattered around. In the afternoon, the weather suddenly turned so nice. It feels like the weather is welcoming me to Armenia’s capital. (Positive vibes king) Wow, this place is so grand. It looks like there’s so much to see here. From the Leaf Tower to this central square, the path leading to Freedom Square is amazing for a stroll. I’m thinking about how to plan the rest of my trip, because in Georgia I really wanted to visit Kazbegi, Mestia, and Ushguli, those were my main goals, but… with morning temperatures of -7 or -8°C and constant snow, it was impossible to go any further by car. I just couldn’t make it there. Maybe in good weather during August, September, or October, I’ll have to come back and explore those three regions of the Caucasus again. That’s how I’m feeling. As for Armenia, today I came on a one-day tour, but I feel like this city is way too beautiful to experience in just one day. So starting with Armenia, I’ll explore Georgia and Azerbaijan as well. That way, I can really see the whole region. (It felt like a sudden cold snap hit only during my week in Georgia.) The farther I go, the better I can see the square behind me. With my poor English, I understood this is the final stop. I’ll say my final goodbye here at Freedom Square in Yerevan, Armenia. Thanks for watching today. See you next time with even better videos! Good Bye~~
