Sirun and Her Beauty
By Maryna Smahina on November 14, 2018
This is Sirun and I just met her. Her name means beautiful in Armenian. Sirun works at the hotel. She doesn’t speak English so when I asked her to take a picture of her, she immediately assumed I was asking her to take a picture of me. We got some help in translation and
right away she started laughing, I could see that she was flattered and unusual to such situation.
After the pictures were taken, she offered us (there were few of us girls there) some chocolates and said something about us being sweet. I thought that actually, she was the one who was sweet.
