A Dinner And A Movie

Sounds like a date, huh? Well, it was an outting that is for sure. My sister got back from Germany yesterday. Today was her first day back at work. I slept in and we started chatting later in the day with her. There is one restaurant here I like "Grabli" to translate it would be "A Rake", like the one you use to rake up the leaves in the fall. It's kind of like a cafeteria in a way that you have to tell the person behind the counter the menu item you want and they give it to you. You can see all the menu items, they are also all marked in English as well as Russian. The food is way better than cafeteria food, and most of it is pretty Russian :) Oh, another bonus is that it's pretty inexpensive. So, I mentioned to my sister that I want "Grabli" for dinner, and we decided to meet up and go out to dinner. Then a couple of my sister's friends were going to a movie afterwards and invited us two along. The movie was all right, French "Hors de Prix" dubbed in Russian of course. I would not recommend it if you don't want to just look at pretty actors :) It was a bit long and I did not like the plot. However, the actors were beautiful and so was their wardrobes. So, we started heading home (it was after midnight, kinda a late date :)). My sister and I laugh a ton when we are together. In fact, our roommate Inna can tell our laugh apart. She was on the train before us in the metro and when she was heading to the escalator she heard us laughing and waited for us. What a coinsidence :) We all three walked home and had a great time doing so. Laughed some more, got home, talked a couple of hours, then bedtime. For them that is, it's 3 am here and I am writing this blog because I can't sleep, but it's ok. I am sitting by the open window and getting pretty cold, so I am about ready to go to bed and snuggle under my blanket :) I enjoyed my evening, it was great. I love going into town and spending time with my sister and her friends whom I know from childhood really :) They all treat me like their own little sister, it's quite amusing, and I love the attention (can you believe that? :))

You mean, you like the French Meat and the potatoes? Agree, on that place being great. There is another place I am going to take you next time. It's really good, buffet style. You will like it, I think.
