Frankfurt Airport City (words & music by Stefan Muschalski)

Intro

1.
Just pack your bags and leave, tomorrow’s the big day
Destination Frankfurt, we’re on our way
to a city within a city and a hub full of streams
and impressions, like in our boldest dreams

Chorus
Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the wind ain’t strong
High above Frankfurt Airport City
Frankfurt Airport City

2.
We’re close like never before, to the city you can’t ignore
Located right in the heart of Europe
And behind that significant horizon
It is Germany’s gateway to the world

Chorus
Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the wind ain’t strong
It is Germany’s Gateway to the world

Baby if we try, we can ride across the sky
Heading for this growin’ airport city
Up the clouds along, where the wind ain’t strong
High above Frankfurt Airport City
Frankfurt Airport City

The Armenian diaspora is a term used to describe the communities of Armenians living outside of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Of the total Armenian population living worldwide (in 2004 estimated to be 9,000,000), only about 3,000,000 live in Armenia and about 130,000 in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Armenian diaspora population is estimated to be 8,000,000. (click here to see a chart of population breakdown by country).

The below map gives a clear idea that Armenians are almost all over the world, and I am proud being one of them.

29 December 2008 … it’s NFL‘s black Monday, it’s not even 9:30 a.m. and already three NFL coaches have lost their gigs.

The Detroit Lions have fired coach Rod Marinelli, in New York the Jets have terminated Eric Mangini and in Cleveland, the Romeo Crennel.

This is very weird to understand that coaches missing a season are fired this simple and America’s biggest corporate CEOs messed up with millions and billions of dollars and American consumers lost around 3 Trillions, and still they are enjoying their big desks and offices and some of them still looking to have their 2008 bonuses.

By the way, I am a New England Patriots fan !!!
