As I mentioned last year March 8th is Women’s Day in Azerbaijan. This year these expected celebrations coincided with three other ‘holidays’, so it was quite an eventful day.
1st: Women’s Day: No school. Gifts and kind words due to the fact that I female. Awesome.
2nd: My landlord’s birthday. See previous blog post about apple cake.
3rd: 1st Novruz Tuesday: Novruz is proceeded by 4 mini-holidays observing the 4 ancient elements: water, air, fire, earth. These holidays are on the Tuesday of every week leading up to Novruz (spring equinox) during the month of March.
4th: Mardi Gras: Fat Tuesday. Pancake Day. (See next post.)
Ergo, I spent most of my day off in the kitchen or drinking tea. But it was fun to have so much going on at once.
