Day 22: Советское Шампанское

Today is a day to celebrate someone near and dear, and what choice is there but to celebrate it in local style? We bought a chilled bottle of cоветское шампанское (Soviet champagne), cost: $11, made in Kazakhstan. Although the toasting material was not exactly tasty (the price and place of origin added with the "Soviet" branding should have been a tip off), the birthday of my nearest and dearest deserves recognition.

Happy Birthday! С днём рождения!
