Yaroslavl dancing fountains

Almost every evening me, my sister-in-low and my nephew are having a walk along the river. Here is one very beautiful spot on our river bank. It called "Arrow" and it was reconstructed last year for 1000 anniversary.

Great Spirit

After mom left NY, I still did the same things that we usually did when she was here last few days. She introduced a Taiwanese tv drama to me. I watched the drama together with her after works. Today is the third day after mom left. I watched the drama alone from 9pm to 11:30pm. It sounds really crazy and I should've spent such long time watching it. However, I have to say, it is a rally good and inspiring drama. Taiwanese great spirit got remembered and honored. Please learn Chinese/Taiwanese and watch the drama. They speak Chinese and Taiwanese those two languages, just as most of the families in Taiwan. I would be more than happy to teach you both Chinese and Taiwanese. Sorry the drama doesn't have English translation yet. I will be happy to help with any translation if you need!

You can watch the drama- 草山春晖 online!

I love you!

रुस्सियन Passport

Today I was buying a SIM card for my iphone and a salesgirl was doubting that I gave her my own passport. Same thing happened to me at the Passport Control in the Russian Airport. They looked at my passport picture and did not recognize me! I hope that's all about my hair, or did I get to old since then?
btw, my iphone still doesn't work here despite all my efforts to unlock it. Still trying...

Birthday wishes for dear Beryl... Part 1

My Armenian Neighbourhood

The city of calcutta once had a population of over 5000 Armenians. The sharp-featured, fair-skinned Armenians worked in the coal and jute industries of Calcutta much before the Marwadis and the  British arrived back in the 14th century. Today, very few remain in the city. This is the story of a neighborhood which also upholds the diversity that Calcutta as a city has to offer. The film traces the stories of a few Armenian individuals and families and takes a look at how this minority is trying hard to keep their culture alive among the younger generations.

माय तूर्ण तो से हियर वे go

I have no idea why my blogger did that thing to me in the title of my post. It should say: "Now it is my turn to say here we go, girls". Please watch this one:

jogging

the other Yaroslavl specificity: I was running today on the bank of Volga river and all young people were looking at me as I were from Mars. Apparently, jogging is still being considering as something weird for Yaroslavl residents.
I also met my old friends today. They got married a long time ago and I was a maid of honor. They have a cute 9 month old baby Lisa. They said she gets scared of strangers, but fortunately she took me easy. I was surprise, cause I thought that it would be difficult for me to get along with babies. Although my nephew likes me too (at least I think so). Should I work at the preschool then? Maybe I will be good at it...
And I have changed my hair color again, I hope it won't fall out soon because of my often color experiments...
Random pics from home:

Gayane, I saw this woman and thought of you and your cool boots :)

Here It Is, Girls!

Meet Russia

New sheremetyevo airport, looks much better than it was before. Huge traffic everywhere in Moscow, NYC traffic seems not serious compare to this one. Air is not fresh, made me dizzy. Train wasnt bad - I was in a 4-seat section with 3 very loudly snoring men. People are nice - they let me use their phone and they helped me with my heavy luggage. Lots of slang. I have not notice any changes in my hometown on my way from the train station to home.

First White Night at home

Mi first night at home (it's been more than 2 years). It's so bright! You can easily read without an artificial light. I woke up at 3am and couldn't fall asleep again. It also seems that I traveled back in time - nothing has changed in my mom's house, it's just became older and more crowded. My nephew is a tiny little ginger thing, makes everyone speak funny. Food is awesome, omg... My mom baked pirogues and a cake for me. I will get fat. For now im lost in time and i want to switch myself to a sleeping mode.

Let's not go away?

It's really hard and getting harder to experience leaving.
It's also not easy to not move forward, maybe.

Let's not go away?
