поздравляем

привет, my friend!

A couple of weeks ago, there was a happy hour at work -- the 1st one since I arrived in Moscow. A category manager got promoted to New York, so we went there to celebrate.

One new world to the vocabulary: поздравляем means congratulations.

I also ate tongue for the 1st time, which is supposed to be a delicacy. Not my favorite, but at least I tried.

This me with Andrei Shevchenko (no kidding, that's his real name, like the Ukrainian soccer player!) and Corrado. Our ties read поздравляем.

And this is me and Polina, who also works in research.

пока!
