This weekend was fun because not one, but TWO of our Russian friends had birthdays to celebrate!
On Saturday we went to a Chinese restaurant to celebrate our friend Sasha's birthday (you may remember Sasha from our excursion to the dacha). We met some new Russians there, sang some karaoke, drank a little vodka, and also acted as interpeters for one of Sasha and Jenya's Japanese colleagues who didn't speak Russian, just English and Japanese.
On Sunday it was our friend Oxana's birthday celebration. It was an early party with just her American friends, since we'll all leave before her real birthday! We also went to a Chinese restaurant (a different one though!). Oxana, being the wonderful girl that she is, turned it into another early New Year celebration and brought presents for all of US, even though it was HER birthday! We ate delicious food, dressed up in tinsel to celebrate the holidays, and had a wonderful time.
