City of U Turns


Everywhere you go in Yerevan, you're looking for the next U Turn... To get to our neighborhood, we actually have to drive past it a little ways, make a U Turn an then come back to it. There isn't an opening to get across the road to turn directly onto our street. If you drive into town and want to turn left on to a street, a lot of times, you need to drive down the street a ways until the solid white line becomes dotted... that means it's okay to make a U Turn there. So cars will be lined up along the road, waiting to make U Turns to get back to the street they just passed! When Nick and Olivia give us directions, they tell us drive past the street that we want to turn left on until we find a place to make a U Turn then come back to it and turn right...

City of U Turns.

-Here we are going North (west) with our neighborhood on the left... and then again coming south (east), with our neighborhood on the right! Heh.
