This week we had several big events to plan and execute, but they were very funny and enjoyable. One of the events was called Blind Date - it was a game show where couples matched during the show compete to be the funniest by playing different games. My RA team was in charge of advertising, so we did several things to make sure students knew about the event. One of them was dressing up as Cupid and delivering Valentines to many residents.
Dima and Kirill dressed up... they were actually excited to do this!
Another thing I did this weekend was go to the Palanga Smelt Festival. Palanga is a town about 20 minutes away from where I live. Two friends and I took a bus there, and went to celebrate the Smelt Festival with other Lithuanians. Smelt (stinta in Lithuanian) is a small fish; apparently it is plentiful in February, so why not have a festival?! Today there were craft and food booths and live musicians. It was cold but we enjoyed walking around and eating fried smelt and smelt soup. The other crazy thing that happens during this festival is a "polar bear run" into the sea. We didn't get there in time to see this, but I found this picture of the run from earlier in the day. Crazy people!!!
BRRRR!!!!!
