Yesterday was a birthday of my close friend Zhenya, a.k.a. Dj. 9 May is also a Victory Day that is celebrated by all former Soviet Union Republics, it's been 61 years since Soviet Union beat (thank you, Leila -- see comment) Hitler in 1945. That is why children born on this day during Soviet time usually are named like Victor, or Victoria, or anything else containing the word Victory in different Soviet languages. Zhenya's real name in Kazakh sounds like Djenisbek, djenis - is victory, so, here you go, see the connection?:) We went to a Japanese restaurant Litchi and had a blast. We were the only ones on the second floor, some of us could even run around and play duel (6 years old Ilya and 29 years old Nuri). All of us ordered different dishes and kept trying from each others' plates, it was so much fun! The food was delicious! It was my first time there, and definitely not the last:) I am posting a picture of Zhenya not from yesterday, but the one I used for the email inviting everyone to celebrate his birthday. He is always like on this picture, with big smile and kind eyes, I mean ALWAYS. ONE HAPPY CRAZY GUY, happy birthday!
