In the holidays I mostly stayed at home with my family in Sydney. During this time we celebrated with family and friends two birthdays – my daughter Polina’s and my husband Ivan’s.
Also some friends invited us to their home and we visited them there. A couple of times we went out of the city.
The first day of my break we spent in a beautiful place near Hempted, in the Blue Mountains. There were fourteen people including children. We went to Hempted to pick mushrooms. We spent about two hours doing that and collected a little basket. After that we had a lovely time with friends. We had a BBQ in the bush and admired the scenery.
The organization of the birthday parties took a lot of my time! I prepared many games, funny tasks and surprises for both our heroes of the day and our guests. Both parties were in two languages - Russian and English, so, it was rather difficult for me to create a comfortable atmosphere and invent interesting activities for everyone. Before this party I decorated our backyard with New Year garlands, solar lamps and torches. The best reward for me was the happy faces of my relatives and friends.
During the holidays I also tried to self-educate. I saw several documentary films about Russian and World history and read some articles about the world economical situation, especially about the reasons of the financial crisis.
I really enjoyed my holiday time and made full of intensive learning, positive things and new experiences.
