Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia, is located at the foot of Mount Ararat on the banks of the Yarara River. It is one of the oldest cities in the Caucasus, founded in 782 BC, and is regarded as "the oldest capital in the world". As the political, economic and cultural center of Armenia, Yerevan is a blend of ancient history and modernity: the remains of Yerevan Castle and the Blue Mosque in the Old Town speak of the vicissitudes of a thousand years, while the spacious boulevards and modern art venues show the vitality of the city. The pleasant climate, mild summers and low snowfall winters, and the mix of religions and cultures, as well as Armenia's unique stone carvings, carpets, and traditional cuisine (such as kebabs and apricot products) exude a regional flavor that attracts visitors to this "Pearl of the Caucasus".
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
