Taxis and Metros are cheap...

Most vehicules use LPG as fuel... and makes for interesting explosions if in an accident.

Almost every morning, we were greated with this splendid view of the Arrarat from our lodging. Fantastic, isn't it ?

The Story of Noah’s Ark/Flood is found in Genesis 6:8-21, 8:4.
Even the Qur'an also has a reference to noah landing on the “mountains of rrt” (Urartu then Ararat) – Qur’an “Al Judi” - 5.

There's an interest in "discovering" Noah's ark:

Liberal scholars have criticized many things throughout the Bible. Archeology has shown many of these criticisms to be wrong from Genesis 12 through Revelation. But Genesis 1-11 is still viewed as myth by those liberal scholars. “If” part of Noah’s Ark were discovered, it would support the Bible and Noah back to Genesis 5. And Noah is only nine generations from Adam if there are no missing generations. Noah’s Ark would actually give support for all three major world religions from Abraham -- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Noah’s Ark would also support the flood apparently described as worldwide in the Bible, which many critics dismiss as simply a local or regional flood. (Creation v.s. Evolution)
There are about 60 “alleged eyewitnesses” from 1856 to 1989 who claim to have seen a boat-like structure sticking out of the ice and moraine on Mount Ararat.
