it's the little things

1. today i celebrated the birthdays of 4 of my friends with a big lunch and slice of cake*. then i was told 1/12 of the population celebrates their birthday today. i don't know which population that is specifically, but it sounded like a cool statistic.

2. i'm pretty sure there is no particular word for 'bra' in mongolian

3. we are freezing inside our apartment

4. tsagaan sar (Mongolia's lunar new year celebration) is this weekend, in fact it is on valentine's day. heart-shaped buuz* anyone? mm-mm.

5. need something interesting to do March 5th - 7th? go to www.jcsintl.org and click on '40 hours Prayer'.





*cake - mongolian cake tastes something like a moist sponge with cool-whip on top. they sure look lovely on the outside though.

*buuz - mongolian dumplings that tend to stay with you all day and into the next.
