What is it like to retire in Armenia?

"Life is pleasant. I wake up and make breakfast for the family, walk my children to school, then stop at the cafe for a coffee or beer depending on the weather before going home. Then I do some writing until noon time before heading out for lunch with my wife (she's attending Yerevan State University). Once 3PM rolls around I pickup the kids and take them to their cello lesson three days a week, otherwise we head home to get started on homework while I try to write a little more. I start making dinner around 5:30PM (my wife can't cook to save her life). During the summer I play softball in the evenings with the Marines from the US Embassy, and we go for pizza and beer afterwards... it's a pretty American thing we have going here. There is an active expat community here comprising the Brits and the Yanks (with some locals mixed in), and we generally have a great time," remarked one retiree in Yerevan.
