I everybody!
Everything is going swell here. I can't seem to get my flash drive to work, so all the pre-writing I did for the blog is useless. Oh well, you'll just have to live with my quick post.
Last night was my host father's birthday and I had my first taste of Russian vodka. It pretty much tastes like what I would imagine turpentine tasting like, but it will do the job if you want to get drunk. I cut myslef off at 4 so I wouldn't feel too bad in the morning. Mission accomplished. My host father, however, cannot say the same. The party was very interesting and small. Just family. They were all very interested in me. I was concerned I was stealing attention from my host father, but I think he was too drunk to really care. I also gave my first Kyrgyz toast, which is a very big deal in this area. All I said was, "My father, my brother, my friend." We haven't learned adjectives yet, but I think I did well with my personal pronouns.
Anyway, everything is great. I hope the pictures get up on the site. I can't really figure out if they are working or not.
Love,
Jonathan
