Watermelon eating contest We went on a summer hike in the mountain surrounding a Lake in the Republic of Armenia. After the hike, my younger host brothers and I were enjoying some summer watermelon. I asked to cut the watermelon into slices with the rind, told my host brothers about a watermelon game (eating contest) and we went at it. It was a great cross-cultural experience that was one of my last moments before I COS'd. On this day, my host sister, who was 12 years old at the time, captured this event without us ever knowing. I had given her my camera and she caught us in the moment of our first watermelon eating contest in a small village in Armenia.
