It's Women's Day again in Mongolia (actually, it's tomorrow, March 8) and that means all the men in this country are letting the women in their lives know how much they mean to them. LOVE THIS HOLIDAY! It's kind of like their version of Mother's Day but they like to include all the other ladies in their lives.
Since we're at school today (it's Friday), the men gathered all the ladies up and serenaded us with a couple of beautiful songs about mothers. Then we were showered with candy, roses and wine (which I polite-fully declined as it goes against my contract). A few lovely speeches about how their lives would be boring without us. So sweet.
Then, we were ushered into the main common area where the senior boys were acting out plays, singing and dancing for all the girls in school. Most of the jokes I didn't really get (a drawback of being a foreigner) but could tell they had practiced and wanted to make us laugh - LOVE IT! More flowers, notes of appreciation and candy followed.
Happy Women's Day!!!
That day was awsome :D
