Rehearsal day

Today started with our appearance on a morning TV show well known all over Armenia. Though everything was in Armenian the atmosphere of two commentators filled me with a warm heart. I eventually came to improvise a poem on the spot and without translating it, everybody seemed to have understood the idea of the poem and said they felt pure kindness and made a joke saying that people with malicious hearts could not stay more than ten minutes at the concert. Then everybody laughed in an intimate atmosphere. Later, we had an appointment with the minister of culture and Her Highness has promised me to introduce us to the minister of culture of surrounding countries commenting that everybody would love to see my smile. On returning to our hotel we were welcomed by hotel staff who photographed us and asked us to write a message and Mr. Idaki Shin made a wonderful one. In the evening we are going to the final rehearsal, and I am very excited that Armenian mint tea does not calm me down. I pray that I will be in good physical condition until the end of the concert.
