I wish to tell you how we greeted the upcoming 2007 year and told goodbye to the memorable and, for sure, happy 2006.

Our party started on Saturday, Dec, 30 when we all came together to buy food for the celebration. You may wonder how shopping may be a beginning of a party, but after the first time you go shopping with crazy AIESECers you'll realize that it is. Any shopping becomes fun rather than a chore. But, well, let's come to the New Year Eve and the first day of the New 2007 year.

BTW, many thnx to Olya Kudinenko and her parents for hosting and feeding us:), Katyusha for her unforgettable pie and cake, and our New Year tree and Alyona for our contests, logistics (you're a napkin genious:)) and music.

When we came together at 10 p.m. on Sunday all we needed to do was just to serve the dinner, create a New Year Tree and find a way not to miss the President's speech and celebrate the NY.
There were 9 of us:Alyona, Katya, Slavik, Olya Kudinenko, Anton, Vitalik, Oksa, Maks and me, spending that wonderful night together.

After almost missing the first minute of the year:), we danced, played cool games (you should have seen Alyona showing "automation" and me - "Mentos":), Katya working as an artist, our boys having a nice time taking clothes-pegs off our girls and other amazing unforgettable moments). We ended up playing "bitches-bitches" around 5 a.m. and then singing and chatting in the cozy kitchen eating that superficial French-Soviet meat :)

Our second day of celebration was no less enjoyable. It started at around 12 a.m. (hah, not really a time to start a day, but it was Jan, 1 ) when we finally tried the second half of that enormous amount of food we bought and decision-making on what movie to watch and where. After 2 hours of dressing-ups, jokes, chats we decided to go to Brovary:) Yes, it was an unexpected decision for all of us, but Maks was so convincing and hospitable, that we could not but agree.

We had a wonderful time watching "Zhara" at the "Terminal" and then meeting Anechka Tkachenko andOlya Kuplivanchuk, who decided to celebrate this New Year in a train and chose Odessa-Kiev and then joined us in our trip to Brovary. Since we had almost 1,5 hrs before skating, Maks invited us to his place, where we had a wonderful lunch thnx to his parents.

Well, this is how it was: amazing, outstanding, memorable, enjoyable. I hope, you all also had a cute celebration.

Cheers!
Olya
