International Exchange Dinner and Social Drink

Isn't our school sweet? They arranged a party for us. The International Exchange Student Dinner. The deal was this: either you cook something from the country you're from, or you pay 7.50 euro to attend. So since I'm from America, what kind of food do I make? A Cheeseburger? lol... I played my "but I'm Russian" card :) Works every time.

So 3 three of us ( Ella, Elizabeth and I) made yummy Alivye... Anna, I'd make you're mom proud haha... and we CUT EVERYTHING SMALL!

We got to the dinner place, and I think that we were the only people who cooked because everything else was catered. I guess they just took peoples money and set up a dinner... but we got in free ))

Food was soo delicious. They had this cheese that was like 6 months old... Surprisingly delicious. And desert there was this chocolate pudding thing ... Weird but tasty.
oh and EVERYONE LOVED our ALIVYE!!! I got all these complements, so I guess my future hubby wont starve after all ;)

Then after the University Dinner, we went to a University sponsored Bar Night. "IBA ( International Business Administration) SOCIAL DRINK." Basically, everyone from the Undergraduate business school was there. So many people!!! We had a drink, had a dance, and then bailed.

It was a fun night. And ofcourse I saw something new to me :) THEY HAVE COAT CHECKS AT ALL BARS!!! It's great, you pay 0.50 - 1 euro, and they take your coats. No one is even allowed inside with their coat on. So you're free and comfortable. Why don't they do that in LA? Maybe in some bars but I've yet to see it.
