Just got back from the end of year school party and had a great time. Awards were handed out. A nice dinner was served. Some people put on skits. Some sang. Games were played. But the best was the dancing. Wow, can Tatar women dance. There were a few guys there who danced occasionally, but the women really have moves. Everyone, and I mean women of all ages, just get up and stand in circle. Sometimes it’s one big circle, sometimes several smaller circles. Then when the music plays everyone just does their own thing. Sometimes one person will dance into the middle of the circle and call someone out to dance with them. And yes, I danced. The DJ played everything from Rock Around the Clock, to Russian songs, to Tatar songs. The teachers danced, the housekeepers danced and the maintenance men danced. I danced with the boss. It was just fun for everyone.
I took a cab back home with Matthew , Valeriya and Svetlana. It had been snowing and there are a couple more inches on the ground, but the cab driver drove as if the streets were snow free. It wasn’t a dangerous ride, just surprising how well the guys manage to drive in this weather.
Tomorrow after school there will be a proper British Christmas dinner at Matthew and Valeriya’s. I’m looking forward to that, too.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Frohe Weihnachten.
