Tonight there was a grand opening of a very special kind at the Cultural Center! The Chum is finished! There were songs in Nenetski, a Nenets dance troupe performed and we had reindeer (and reindeer soup). What a cool evening!
Nadezhda's cool braids!

Victoria made plov (an Uzbeck rice dish) as a supplement to reindeer
