Just wanted to share some of the photos of our Thanksgiving... because we were in school!! Thanksgiving is an American Holiday, so we had to celebrate with each other while at work-- it was a different experience.
I was recently in Tbilisi, Georgia for a basketball tournament, and while there we took the students out to a traditional Georgian restaurant. Georgian food is excellent! There are a lot of spiced mixes with vegetables, breads with cheese and beans (Khatchapuri), and specialty sodas. They also specialize in meat dishes, or dishes that have meat in them. Khinkali is a noodle type thing that surrounds a mixture of meats soaked in spices, which simmers and forms its own broth. Farhad, one of the senior players, demonstrates the proper way to eat Khinkali. I wasn't able to master the "proper way", but I did enjoy it!
Hey Madison! Do you remember this??
I am so glad that I saved these... good memories!
Students from BIS (Baku International School)
The students in these photos are from all over the world. I am teaching some American, Polish, Japanese, Romanian, Azeri, Turkish, and Russian students. They are very animated and love the camera--- like most students/teenagers do.
