There was more than enough food and drinks and we danced the night away!
This week, I did not have time to read for leisure. For my school classes, I read a few short Russian essays on family structure and raising children.
This week, my host sister taught me how to play the Russian card game durak (fool). This game is played with a regular deck of cards but without the twos, threes, fours and fives.
This past weekend I went out with some friends to sing karaoke. I was surprised to find so many karaoke establishments in Almaty. I pass by about nine karaoke bars and restaurants on my walk to the university every morning.
