Trying to adapt CPH style in Moscow

Two days ago one of my childhood wishes came true. I went for the ballet class!!! Emerging me, trying to stand next to ballet bar and doing smth similar to ballet poses. I was the only one, who came for the first time and I could not follow the moves even though they looked so simple! Now all my legs hurt like I run a  marathon. Ballerinas are crazy strong ladies! Anyway, I will go again on Monday. I liked it. Moves were so beautiful that I want to be able to do the same. At least I want to be better then the cow dancing ballet :)

One more new thing that I'm trying is a makeup course! I already went 3 time and I have one lesson to go. It is organized by my friend who is selling cosmetics MaryKay. Of cause there is a lot about cosmetics from this particular brand, but there is really a lot of info how to take care of the skin and how to actually make makeup and highlight your own beauty :) If I will practice enough, you will not recognize me! I will be real Russian beauty with rainbow of colors on my face:)))))

Yesterday it was amazing day! I took the bike and made a very long trip to Kremlin, to Tretiakovskaya gallery (that's about 8,5km) through the city center. I know, you will think it is not much, but believe me to do so in Moscow is challenging. No bike roads, plenty of cars and too many people on the side walks. But I made it! I had so much fun! It was almost +20, sunshine and other bikers (2 or 3) were giving me greeting smiles. I had great breakfast with my friend and went to the Italian consular to get my visa to Rome! Now everything is settled and I'm meeting with Cons, Caro and Katrine in a month!!!
New blue friend
Great breakfast and the bike

 I also finally got debit cards from Russian banks and now can leave almost normal life and do not have cash in my pockets, which saves me from spending everything. Unfortunatelly it does not save me from e-shopping. Cons, what should I do? :)
I know, the most interesting thing for you is how my job search is going on. It is not easy. I'm trying to find my place in different companies and different positions, but there is no final answer yet. I will let you know when it comes!
Today is sunny and great. I'm thinking to take the bike and go somewhere cycling to try not to think about this stupid rejection and crash of my NSMB dream. I don't know how it is possible that I still like science :)

New start

Thank you, guys for this surprise drop off :)
My Russian-Danish-French outfit represents all stuff that did not fit into my luggage 
It is already 5th day since I moved back from Copenhagen to Moscow. I dream about his move and was looking forward so much for this! Now the dream comes true and I'm starting new life in Russia with my boyfriend in the same boat.

Arkady was so sweet, when he met in the airport! He appeared with the bouquet of flowers and a balloon saying that he loves me. Great evening and big reunion of the future family :)

Best Lab Ever

Did I tell you that I have Best Lab Ever?
I'm so lucky to have all these guys around me! Lab work can be fun, revording, but mostly hard. Without you, my best-ever-friends I would not survive my PhD studies!
Love you so much!
And miss you.
Specially during these Xmas days.
Holiday season, please, finish soon :)
One of the best presents i got for my PhD viva is video with our stupid lab jokes. I already watched it hundred times! Now it is time to share this piece of art :)
Merry Christmas!!!
Lots of LOVE and HAPPINESS!!!

P.S. Best greetings from Dr. Ilnaz
