avrelia

so, it's been Russian culture - intensive couple of weeks

First a Russian Lit festival for kids in Cupertino

Second, my friend and I did the Russian table at the Diversity Day at our elementary school. She was more nervous about representing Russia, but I convinced her it would be fine, and it was. But I was a bit nervous as well.

we cooked - buckwheat kasha, pickled cabbage, apple pie (sharlotka) and I bought a couple of bottles of kefir. She managed to feed it all to people ;)

But really, most people have very little knowledge about Russia, and I, frankly have little knowledge about many other countries represented there, so it was a good opportunity to learn, and for kids to dress up in traditional clothes.

Third, a crowning event of the week was the БГ concert. (he is an old Russian rock star whose songs we grew up with).
