st. valentines @ the hole

День Всех Влюбленных/Святого Валентина.

Monday evening we celebrated valentines day at the hole. interestingly enough, russians were all really discouraged to hear that americans celebrate it with their lovers/spouses/lovers' spouses and not with friends. in any event, the russian version is better than ours for singles. the guys decorated a box and collected valentines and people seemed to be leaving in pairs, so i guess it all worked out well enough.

as usual, a few of the better pictures.
