San'ka

My cousin San'ka is visiting from Moscow for three weeks. It's his first time in the U.S.. He was originally supposed to take English classes in NY, but the intensive classes require a student visa, and since that wasn't properly arranged he's staying with us and taking classes in Boston.

At the moment he is at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and I wish I was there too because those taxidermied animals are great for practicing drawing.

San'ka came on Friday and the first thing we did was take him to the supermarket :).
Then I dragged him with me to movie night at Eloosha's, but we arrived after the movie had started and he was exhausted from the flight, (I liked "Night On Earth" better the first time around anyway).

The next day we went to Target and TJmaxx and Marshalls and Kohls to get presents and cloths (for him, though I didn't pass up the opportunity to get something for myself too). I unleashed my super powers of finding guys jeans that look good on them :P

And then later we went off for a Tour de Boston. We wound up in China Town.



More specifically the Vietnamese restaurant "Pho Pasteur", which is awesome.
There where two people sitting next to us. One was a white guy and the other a black woman, but they where both speaking Vietnamese, which really threw me off.

food: Shrimp salad, Pad Thai, Some spicy soup, and there was another soup not pictured here)
