We had several Thanksgiving celebrations last week) Here are a few pics from the first dinner at our friend Jessie's house

This was probably the first time ever that Kostya cut the turkey. Great start!

This week my Canadian friends Erin and Emma came to Moscow, so we can now hang out! On their first day I drove them to IKEA, where we got lunch and did a bit of shopping!
Look at beautiful Emma!

Hoo-ray!!!
i got my driver's license this week and today was the first time I ever drove a car in Moscow.
Good thing my friend Kostya trusts me enough to let me drive his Volvo around.
I even drove in the downtown)
Scary and stressful, but I am gonna get used to driving soon.
And it turns out I am pretty good at parking))

On Thursday me and my friends went out to one of Moscow clubs to see a performance by the singer Lina Milovich, who was doing the presentation of her new album. She was probably a bit high during the concert (judging by her eyes and couple other things), but the good thing was that she was singing live (which is such a rare commodity these days), and she was doing a pretty good job. Below the pictures are links to some of her songs.
