Happy International Women's Day! After Maslenitsa (Feb. 8-14 ) and Valentine's Day (Feb 14) it's another good excuse to buy flowers from the babushkas outside the metro and give them to your favorite female.
In a Russian class the other day, one of the students asked the teacher:
Будет парад в понедельник?
(Will there be a parade on Monday?)
Какой парад?
(What kind of parade?)
Парад... женщин?
(A parade... of women?)
Happy holiday!
And while we're at it, actually, I forgot to wish everyone a happy Day of the Defender of the Fatherland (Feb. 23), another federal holiday. It's become sort of an all-purpose men's/father's day, but с праздником nonetheless. (That mean's you, U.)

Oh crap, how international is it? All the way over here?
Say what you want, but this is one of my favorite holidays! Even though the only tulip I got this year was a virtual one from an apologetic Russian/American co-workers who didn't know about the holiday :)
Also, ironically, I got my citizenship on Feb 23rd.
