Поздравляем Вас с Новым Годом!

Мы желаем всем нашим друзьям и их семьям Очень Счастливый и Преуспевающий Новый год!

Ностальгия …..

Вы помнили бы, как мы праздновали Новый год в Москве? Часто, мы собрались в 2-ом блоке на 42-ом Квартале. Несмотря на сессии экзамена в продвижении мы всегда находили время чтобы иметь хорошие всю-ночные празднования. Хотя 'Сухой Закон' был наложен властями наши соотечественники с их обычной изобретательностью, нашли способы обойти это, смешивая Водку с соком! Те были золотыми днями в нашей студенческой жизни!

Nostalgia ….

Would you remember how we celebrated the New Year in Moscow? Often, we gathered in the 2^nd block on Sorok Vtoroi. Despite the exam sessions in progress we always found time to have good all-night celebrations. Although ‘No Liquor’ rule was imposed by the authorities our countrymen with their usual ingenuity found ways to circumvent it by mixing Vodka with juice! Those were the golden days in our student life!

Добро пожаловать!
