Every Year at the New Year Eve all Russia is watching TV: And there is always a channel what transmits a New Year comedy, directed by outstanding Russian movie-director Eldar Ryazanov: The Irony Of Fate, Or Enjoy Your Bath (Ирония судьбы или С легким паром!). We are watching this romantic comedy every New Year Eve – that is Russian National Tradition and we never get tired of it! Yes we can watch some another movie at New Year Eve but The Irony Of Fate, Or Enjoy Your Bath must be in New Year menu. So this New Year Eve Kyle and me are going to watch this romantic comedy together because now it has English subtitles. Join us to understand better what Russians are about ;). The movie was produced for TV in 1975… So first time I watched it when I was in primary school. Time just flies!
Have a good cup of coffee or tea. The second part will start in a little bit! 🙂

Lithuania is covered in snow. So dark that only lights from grey many-flat houses can be seen. Couple of guys passed by – they spoke in Russian. I couldn’t wait to go back home and watch this movie – I will not wait for the New Year to come first.
