Old New Year tour to Zuzya Poozersky

In order to thank all team members for intensive work during recent releases, somehow mention farewell party to several key members leaving team (Dima Syrtsou, Dzina Padolskaya, Vadzim Volkau, Dzmitry Galyuk) and of course make current team closer, our PM, Irina Ivanova arranged an Old New Year bus tour to belarussion city Postavy to Zuzya Poozersky, who is called also as belorussion Ded Moroz ( or Santa).

The most complex thing for everybody was to get up at 6:00AM to be at bus station at 8:10.

But we did it and our trip started!

It was great that many people invited their relatives so that they can share tour impressions and get aquinted with colleagues of their husband/ wife. Also we invited to join our ex-team members like Dmitry Chirun, Valentine Palazkov, Igor Degterov

It was about 10-12 degrees of frost, so we requested bus to stop to warm up a little bit - someone with tea, someone with something stronger :) 

Our first station was at the farm where we could see some pieces of belorussian home,wild and adopted to belorussian fauna:

Of course we were happy to have a chance to touch with homeland winter nature, comparing to sitting in front of monitor  :

Very informative and interesting was to visit and look architectural objects like catholic and orthodox churches.

And the logical finish of our tour was to come to a legendary estate of Zuzia Poozersky, where we learned something new about belorussion culture and mythical personages, like ' Hapun', who collects those who makes many bugs , 'Dzed Gaevy', 'Vadzyanik', etc.

These stories were amazing and we were very attentive:

It was very cold and of course we needed to warm up:

1) By ' Charka, Shkvarka, Agurok' ( glass of vodka, fat, salt cucumber):

2) By driving in or after a sleigh:

 3) By dancing with Zuzya:

4) By herbal tea from samovar:

5) By round dances with team mates:

6) By snuggling up to  Zuzya :

 7) And to other personages :

 Thanks to All who managed to make this tour possible, to All who joined the tour - for your cheerful mood and for warm memories about this cold day!
