Parking Tickets in Armenia are...Different


Click to enlarge.

Keep this little tidbit in mind the next time you're in Armenia: when the police or the parking people or whoever decide that you've parked in the wrong place, they take your license plate to the police station. That means you have to go to the station, pay your fine, and then get your plate back.

How neat is that?

Anna its true -- i was there and I took that pic with a local colleague who had "been there and done that" many times. And its not unique to Armenia its common place in the ME.

That's because scummy Armenians wouldn't pay their tickets otherwise.
